Now hear this!

The same people who think Democrats are communists think Donald Trump is a Christian.

That is all.

And the Christian right (part of the Republican Party) has branded him god and savior. It’s disgusting that such an Un Jesus like person is worshipped when all he does is shit on people.

But against what evil they may do.

He would have forgiven him had he ever chose to repent and make right what he could.

That is his only salvation for himself. Yet the bigotries and hatred of man remain.

And Vance is ready to exploit them.

ETA:
I have to consider that Christ's example has been mythologized, if that's a word, and twisted/distorted for political gain. I mean, does the core message and example of a real person survive to this day?

The cynic in me realizes that any good from Christ exists as a result of our common human condition and our centering of the well being of our neighbors. That predates Christ. His example is one of many. His dominates due to the spread of empire, evangelism, and the eradication of other cultures and their spiritual domains.

We return to our own humanity. There we will find the second coming. Not in the fall of Israel, not in the murder of heathens and heritecs. But in ourselves.

Name even one teaching of Jesus
that Republicans fight for

Name just one Republican policy
that aligns with what Jesus actually said.
