Because The Evangelical Church in the USA has been co-opted by Trump-loving white nationalist/American exceptionalists who seem more interested in triggering the Rapture than to help their fellow man?

>The stop-work order initially froze all PEPFAR programming and services, halting work in the field, including the provision of antiretroviral therapy. And although PEPFAR—which accounts for 0.08 percent of the federal budget and has been consistently judged to be a highly effective and accountable program—received a limited waiver in February allowing it to continue “life-saving HIV services,” the actual implementation of that waiver has been delayed, fragmented, and chaotic. Supply chains have been disrupted; so have diagnostic and treatment services. There have been mass layoffs of staff. Clinics have been shut down. “The result was unprecedented operational chaos, funding lapses, the collapse of implementation partnerships, and, in many cases, clinic closures,” according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Those on the ground report widespread disruption of HIV services and devastating consequences for PEPFAR beneficiaries; the infrastructure that took years to build has been decimated. That will remain true even if the Trump administration were to reactivate PEPFAR tomorrow.
I have heard other excuses as well, but the dumbest was “why doesn’t Bill Gates and other rich liberals pay for it?”
As if anyone could just rebuild the entire thing from scratch right away.

There’s a misconception that *good works* is a tenet of Christianity, it is not (Catholics are the exception, not the rule on this). Most American protestant doctrines teach salvation by faith alone. While *good works* are evidence of faith, they are not merits for salvation, and are low in the totem pole, things like *evangelism* and *work ethic* are higher displays of faith.

It’s because they’re bad people who never had any principles in the first place. Their cult leader told them to hate the global poor and they enthusiastically complied
