I can't really comprehend how evangelical Christians find this man to be at all acceptable. In fact, he's treated as some sort of savior. Major disconnect.

Evangelical's whole platform is divine authority to rule. It ties right in with colonialism, white supremacy, and fascism. "I'm right 'cause I say my god said so". But I also believe that most Christian's today would crucify Christ all over again as a communist.

divine authority to rule

Yet, they don't seem to accept Biden even though scripture is pretty clear:

Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

Romans 13:1‭-‬2

I saw lots of crosses among the rebels on Jan 6.

You can't make them read their own book.

It's a fairly unreadable book, really. Well... to be fair, some parts are very interesting and others are unreadable. It could use an editor.
