Christians, Supporting Their Role Model
JUST OVER SEVENTY PERCENT of the American people self identify as Christian, down from about eighty five percent a decade ago. America, like Europe, is fast becoming a secular society, as the human race casts off the darkness and superstition of organized religion, and accepts empirical science as the way to derive truth. The Bible condones slavery, rape, murder, and a whole lotta other bad stuff, such as putting disobedient children to death. Its easily the most violent and profane book ever written. (see Thomas Paine, "The Age of Reason"). Therefore it is hardly surprising that political support for Donald Trump, profanest of the profane, is heavily concentrated in the evangelical christian community.Two peas in a pod, as they say, a president whose self proclaimed history of sexual predation and harassment not only failed to be a deal breaker within the American Christian community, but seems to have ignited its support. It takes a misogynist to know a misogynist, and the most anti-woman text ever written was, yes, the oly writ. For Mr. Trump, three divorces, three trophy wives, a history of infidelity, of cheating low wage workers, hiding assets from the IRS, and all other manner of corruption blends in well, apparently, with modern Christian morality. Render unto Caesar, and, by all means, conceal tax documents from all public scrutiny. You never know; the President's tax returns might reveal tax deducted tithing, which would appeal to evangelicals, but not to people of real character and discernment.
