And now, evangelicals are voting for Trump ... and the wheels are coming off the evangelical wagon ... and making them look bad, and/or crazy.

So ... Isn't modernity and science winning? By observation and evidence, Christianity does indeed look hopeless ... sorry to say.
It's your view that things are a mess. Like I always said, "it all depends on where you get your news." Are things today any worse than during the "dark ages?" Even God responded to Elijah's critique, "i have 7,000 who have not..."

You read some political article about Trump, and it shapes your whole view of the church?" Science winning what? Jesus said the kingdom of God does not come by observation. You are not going to find it on the news.
