    Why did some evangelicals vote for Hillary?

    A Christian apologist, speaker, and author cites three probable reasons why a significant minority of self-described evangelical Christians voted for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump on Tuesday.

    Trump won the White House with a large percentage of evangelicals supporting him. According to ABC's exit polling, eight in ten evangelicals voted for the billionaire businessman, a strong part of the unsettled majority that carried him to the White House. However, 16 percent of those same evangelicals told pollsters they pulled the lever for Mrs. Clinton.

    "It would be a puzzlement to many people how professed Christians who love the Lord and believe his Word could vote for the most pro-abortion, pro-'so many things that the Bible is against' candidate in American history,"
    says Alex McFarland....



    ..."Number one is biblical illiteracy. Number two is the assumption that faith and life are in two different categories," he lists. "Third is voting pragmatism over principle."

    Indeed, research outside of politics for years has revealed a growing ignorance of basic scriptural knowledge among those who claim the name of Christ. And while the man at the top of the GOP ticket arguably was a poor representation of godly virtues, but McFarland says what Trump stood for was right down the middle.

    "The Trump-Pence platform – from marriage, religious freedom, the makeup of the Supreme Court, national defense, terrorism, our relationship with the nation of Israel – any conservative, constitutionalist Christian would be proud to vote for their platform and their team," he states....

    Stupid? Ignorant of scripture? Just ignorant period? Out of their mind? Mental illness? Slow on the uptake? Blind, deaf, and dumb?

    That's just a few I can think of.

    Of course I'm joking.

    Here in Norway evangelicals vote for all kinds of parties including the socialist party. They vary a lot when it comes to views concerning economy and welfare. Many reason that our 22-weeks abortion law won't be repelled anyway and find other issues more interesting than voting against abortion on principle.
