By Keith Suter, published 25/5/2018Trump is, for them, a flawed warrior of Christ. He has immense moral imperfections but he can still also be a vehicle for God's plans.

You've given me plenty of reason to lose trust in you. In this conversation alone you've done that, but it's been slowly building from other conversations as well. If you hold to the standards you critize others of and don't commit the same fallacies you try to pin on others, then there would be a maturity to your perspectives and are more trust worthy.
But the nail in the coffin was in these conversations where you've turned your hissy fits and drama drenched comments as if they are counter points, to turning to a complete 180 trying to sound civil and well meaning. Not surprised I would say I'll end my contact with you and your sad by it. To another 180 turn in your next comment after I correct you telling you I've made no vow of silence, that you never want to hear from me again.
The Jekel and Hyde approach removes so much trust I could have in you, and your positions. That could be counted as just being emotional though, except for the fact that you tried to change what I said from a temporary silence to give you space to a vow of silence that you can hold to being convient of not countering your points. If it wasn't for that small element, I could pass it all off as you having a hard time with the conversation and getting overly emotional. Something that giving space should help. But the minipulative way you tried to change my words and their meanings for an oppurtunity to have another Christian refuse to counter you. That's enough dishonest minipulation that can't go under the rationell of "saving face," or "being emotional." All I can count that behavior as is being minipulative and descidedly dishonest.
