l stand in awe and disgust as l watch evangelical Christians subject themselves to moral gymnastics trying to reconcile their faith with their fear and hatred. They place the teachings of Christ on a virtuous scale alongside the words, the actions, and the deeds of the politician they elected and somehow they find a way to proclaim balance. That kind of tortured calculus is as impressive as it is repugnant.
