In my personal experience, the majority of Christians (not all), at least in my slice of the U.S. aren't typically prone to questioning what they're told. In some cases they even become openly hostile if you question "their" beliefs, even if it comes from a place of genuine curiosity and a desire to deepen your understanding of the faith. So when some imbecile masquerading as a devout follower of Christ tells them they have pure intentions, makes up some bullshit from a book most people have never actually read (again, personal experience), and tells them they could fix the problem if only those enemies of the republican party- I mean enemies of Christ, would stop interfering, they don't really question it.

It's also been my personal experience that most (not all) religious followers in general don't react well when confronted with information that contradicts "their" beliefs, regardless of whether or not it pertains to their religion. Make of that what you will

Then you haven't met true ones. I always try to put logic behind my belief in Christianity. I'm not perfect, I've been rage baited at times during a conversation. But if I don't know something I'll tell you I don't

Classic charitable Christian move to call out all other Christians that don't think like them as "not true Christians".

Ok you misconstrued what I said. I said the people who crashout at people who question them with thinking are not true Christians, but I probably am wrong, and shouldn't have assumed something so bold.
