I admit to being surprised that Evangelicals are supporting Trump in droves. Bible belt Kentucky, as an example, supported Trump in the primaries.

It just doesn't add up. Hey, where's those "Family Values" the pubbies are so fond of harping about?. But some Christian Trump supporters bring up Cyrus the great ... a Zoroastrian (pagan) that allowed the Jews to go back and rebuild the temple. So to them, it might be the same for the non-Christian Trump ; Trump being like Cyrus. I agree that that is just crazy logic, but I've heard it bantered about in Christian interwebs. That's how I know about that preposterous proposition.

But to be fair. At a recent family gathering, of predominately Southern Baptists, most of them admitted that they were in a quandary over who to vote for. Some said they aren't going to vote for either one.

Sorry to say, but that sounds more Christian to me than voting for either Hillary or Trump.

Seems to me that Christians have lost track of : "My kingdom is not of this world."
