Don't Even GO THERE [View all]

Don’t tell me you’re a Trump supporter AND a good Christian. There is no such animal.

Don’t wave your New Testament in my face while you ignore the teachings of The Nazarene.

Don’t claim to be a follower of Christ while you support a lying, thieving, pussy-grabbing adulterer who has told over 10,000 lies since he took office.

Don’t rattle your rosary at me while cheering the imprisonment of innocent children in concentration camps.

Don’t insist that your bigotry and racism is somehow supported by the Bible.

Don’t try to convince me that when Jesus admonished his followers to feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and care for the sick what he really meant was to do the exact opposite.

Don’t tout your alleged “Christian principles” while you worship a man who has absolutely no principles whatsoever.

Don’t blaspheme by adoring the Golden Calf that has led you to turn against everything you allegedly once believed in.

If you are willing to turn a blind eye to children being traumatized and abused, you are not a Christian. If you are willing to look the other way while your “pResident” demeans people on the basis of their race or ethnicity, you are not a Christian. If you are willing to watch your fellow citizens suffer and die for lack of affordable healthcare, you are not a Christian.

The religious leaders who told you that Trump was “chosen by God” are NOT Christians. If they were, they would never have tried to convince you that a man known for decades to be a thief, a liar, a racist, and a bigot, who has been accused repeatedly of sexually assaulting women and young girls, was a man that God would choose to lead anyone anywhere.

So now it’s up to you. You can return to your Christian faith and adhere to its principles – or you can continue to support a “pResident” who personifies behaviour and policies that are contrary to everything Jesus taught – and everything you purportedly believe in.

But DON’T ever tell me you’re a Christian AND a Trump supporter. You’re either one or the other. And if you still insist that you are a good Christian who fears “the loss of heaven and the pains of hell”, you might want to prepare for your final judgment by coming up with a good explanation for why you abandoned every tenet of your faith, and every teaching of Christ, in order to fall on your knees before a man who represents everything Jesus admonished you to reject.

There are children – innocent children! – who are being held in conditions that most Americans would find unconscionable were they stray dogs. If you find this situation to be acceptable, if you condone it because your “pResident” has decreed it, if you believe that THIS is what your God would have approved of, you have not only failed as Christians, you have failed as human beings.
