: From 2009 until 2017, I attended a church that many label “evangelical.” While the teaching was primarily traditional, it avoided LGBTQ issues and abortion, neither condemning nor supporting. It wasn’t until after his first year as President that I started to hear rumblings of the greatness of Donald Trump.
There was the discussion of his pro-life views and how refreshing they were. Then came the coffee conversations about how the LGBTQ community was influencing the lives of many and how gender conversion was on the rise. As an avid reader, I had come to learn much about this man they so admired: that pro-life to him meant enjoying a golf game and not a stand on anti-abortion, that he had viciously condemned Muslims, that guns are an inherent right to be protected at any cost and that the wicked LGBTQ community was no better than Satan. I found myself alone in defending the causes that had always been part of my DNA, and was shaken by the reaction I received by the many well-educated people around me.
I left this church and with it the beliefs of much of its congregation. How could my fellow Christians be so blind to the immoral behaviour of the man who purports to be the leader of the free world? I cannot help but wonder how after following its teachings, they have missed the most important principles in the Bible – those of tolerance and love for one’s fellow man.
