13. Love is attractive and hate repulsive

At least to those who don't seek legitimization of their own prejudice and fear.

And the Christian Right's frequent highly-publicized displays of bigotry, narrow-mindedness, along with misrepresenting Jesus as someone who would ignore the poor, stand with the unjust and the oppressors is driving people away in droves, except those whose tribalism and bigotry has blinded them to what the Bible actually says.

Heck, a couple of my closes friends who have both been lifelong, devoted Christians find the fact that the evangelical right casted a high percentage of votes for Trump so appalling that it has shaken their faith.
