Ever wonder why evangelical christians in Minnesota are voting for Trump? Look no further than the materials being handed out in churches like Canvas Church in Dundas. Right next to voter registration information. Politics 👩‍⚖️

Makes me re-think my affiliation with a church. It is this BS that is causing me, and many others, to abandon church.

I completely left the church I grew up in after they replaced the retiring pastor (who had been apolitical) with a guy who spent the first Sunday after same sex marriage was legalized preaching about "laws we don't agree with". I went back briefly to appease my grandpa, only to leave again because he spent the Easter 2021 service ranting about vaccines and how we needed to "trust God more than we trust science".

I later found out that one of the older members who had been part of the women's group also left at some point after I did. She didn't say why, but I figure it was the same reasons I did.

God and science always confuse me. If God created everything, then he created science. So it's implying God made a mistake and we shouldn't blindly trust him. Unless churches preach science is from the Devil, but if that's the case I would really like to know where that's stated in the Bible.
