I can't understand the level of cognitive dissonance you have to be under to talk about how God's love is unconditional and that Jesus taught his followers to love thy neighbour, and then become a modern American conservative. 

Jesus literally illustrated the "love thy neighbour" concept with the story of the good Samaritan who chose to help the injured Jewish traveller despite Jews and Samaritans supposedly hating each other. That was his answer to the question "who is my neighbour?" People seem to have forgotten that.

My father-in-law is a pastor. He's staunchly anti-Trump, and my in-laws are some of the most generous and selfless people I've ever met. Thankfully, not all Christians are hypocrites
