Many Christians are 'almost in despair' over what Trump has done to their faith: evangelical leader

34. I recommend these Christians take a step back from their religious sects.

When I was in my early 20's I came to the conclusion that the Catholic Church wasn't fulfilling my spiritual needs. They were into the idea that they were the only true religion, and full of criticism of the various Christian groups, like Baptists, Lutherans, and Episcopals. Not to mention non-christian religions.
The belief was that the only path to God was thru Catholicism.
I felt that their attitude was decidedly not in alignment with the teachings of Jesus, so I left the Catholic Church and never looked back.
I decided to cut out the middleman, and go directly to God. It was the lack of love in the church that lead me to that decision.
So, now we have Christians who are in despair over Trump. Well, how about that!
Trump is a loveless creature, who is pretty much the antithesis of all that Jesus taught. It's taking them long enough to figure that out. His words and actions have screamed lord of darkness for decades.
My recommendation, dump that guy, and go back to basics. Work on replacing all the hate you have embraced, as your religion drifted farther and farther away from spiritual truth, with love as put forth by Jesus.
Get yourselves back on the true path so you can actually stand in the light of God's love.
It's not important which religion you are in, it's how well you live as an expression of all the qualities Jesus taught.
One thing I can say for sure is that Trump ain't gonna lead you anywhere but down deeper and deeper into darkness.
