I think you're painting with too broad a brush. Plenty of good pastors out there who are committed to preaching the gospel and providing meaningful support for their congregants/parishioners. But you may be right about Van. 90% of his posts are hyper-partisan, and I've yet to read something from him that's inspirational or spiritually uplifting. I think it's 50-50 as to whether he's actually an ordained minister/pastor.That's too optimistic.
I wouldn't be surprised if VPM has already supported Trump from his pulpit once or twice. A pastor is just as big a politician as a politician.
On a different note, I see you've been on the receiving end of another poster's vitriol the past couple of days. Several others (myself included) have taken similar shots from him (not sure why he's given so much leeway) and you just have to shake your head and laugh. My favorite is when he calls other posters "creepy" - - this coming from a guy who posts repeatedly about his dick size, Pete Buttigieg and a reality show that targets 25-54 year-old women. Bizarro.
