My book on "How to be Evangelical and Gay Affirming" is at 45,000 words. In the next week or two, it should enter the final editorial stage. This is always the most exciting stage in writing where I see the argument emerging like a statue from marble, becoming clearer every day.

One of Epsteins' victims said he displayed a framed 8x10 picture of himself and his best friend Donald Trump on his desk. Epstein abused hundreds of girls. Trump is an adjudciated sexual abuser who boasted of assaulting women. How likely is it that they abused girls together?

Donald Trump is one of the clearest examples of an anti-christ in public life, someone whose entire life is opposed to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The way he has been embraced by evangelicals for a decade reveals that much of evangelical faith is apostate.
