I've known him for 30 something years. He wasn't weird back then, but after moving into the USA and getting involved in evangelical Christianity, he descended into weirdoness. He emailed me a couple years ago saying he's praying that I lose everything and suffer so I can "turn to God". Nowadays he's into MAGA and how God has chosen trump and is protecting him, and it's all according to revelations in the Bible.
He's a friend that needs to be rescued. Not sure how yet.
I wish you the best and hope you’re successful. It’s admirable to stick by someone such as that, but don’t let them do you or yours harm. Often, it can go that way pretty quickly when someone is wishing ill for you…
There’s certainly (in my view) a difference between Christians and evangelicals. Christians can genuinely believe and feel Christ’s mission, all the while seeking love and the best for everyone. Evangelicals seem to consistently be “my way or the highway to hell.” It’s a shitty division and many will never see the hate that they are ultimately wishing on people that Jesus would have never supported.
