Christians, Joining the Appropriate Party

THE SHIT HIT THE FAN at the senior center when I got word that Big Harold had proclaimed the necessity of voting for Donald Trump to be a true Christian, and I responded by writing that in the event this actually happened, which I suspected it did, then Big Harold should spend more time walking, exercising, less the mixing politics and religion. Nobody at the senior reads this website unless it published an article about a senior center. Then, all hell breaks out, which is exactly the intention of most websites - to get attention. Who says what is less important than what is said and repeated, than what is done. Whether Jesus of Nazareth is the actual speaker of everything attributed to him in the New Testament is far less important then reading his alleged statements and benefitting from them. Not all beliefs and statements are created equal - we must use our intelligence to assess their applicability, their beneficial efficacy. We live in an age in which crazy ideas and beliefs are given free reign, owing to the internet, and a growing belief in free expression and tolerance. Equating Donald Trump with Jesus Christ is among the craziest I have ever hears, and will oppose it in one way or another. Responding to it by suggesting that someone get more exercise, it would seem, is a far kinder, gentler manner of opposing it than many others one could think of. The entire phenomenon of extremely conservative extremely devout Christianity in America seems crazy, frankly, no matter how widespread it becomes. What on earth did Jesus have to do with accumulating personal wealth and carrying guns? And if you think it all doesn't matter anyway because soon the rapture will occur, the end of times, and you along with a few other select elect will be raptured in heaven, you might want to think again, and ask yourself whether you might not be just a wee bit crazy. If the democrats are smart, they will try to convince America's devout Christians that they really and truly do not belong in the Republican party, with the gun packing, fortune seeking free market capitalists. rather, thy should hang with the crowd which encourages rendering unto Caesar, giving unto the poor, with no matter shoes money, and sharing. if anyone was ever hard core about redistributing the wealth, it was Jesus Christ. You simply cannot deny this. The home of the true Christian, Big Harold, is the Socialist-Pacifist party, and since we don't have one, the democrats, the Bernie Sanders wing, will have to do.
