As an ex-Evangelical myself, I hear you loud and clear. Having been thoroughly rejected by most of my Christian family and friends, when I hear Christian messages of love and tolerance, I feel hurt and angry. Part of me asks, why wasn’t I good enough for love and tolerance?

I could add on a more political note, that it’s rather shameless of any Evangelical Christian to tout support of immigrants as a Christian value they uphold.

The most vocal voices in the United States for the last few years advocating mistreatment of immigrants have come from Evangelical Christians. The Evangelical world even supported Donald Trump’s heinous child separation policy at the U.S./Mexican border.

So naturally, if I hear Evangelical Christians talking about how love of immigrants drives them or is important to them, I want to call them out for the inhuman political acts they enabled.
