Praying to gods that cannot save

Jesus doesn't think Trump is just alright


 A pastor in Wisconsin lamented recently that evangelicals seemed to idolize Donald Trump more than they worshiped Jesus Christ...which should have come as no surprise to anyone paying attention.  The religious right in America decided long ago that riding on the crazy train was a lot more important than the word of God.

While I will never live long enough to understand people's adulation of Trump (he's dumb, lazy, a boor, incompetent, cowardly, crude, and wimpy--if he moved into the house next door most folks would be putting their homes on the market as soon as they could), it's important to remember that plenty of people idolized Adolph Hitler (if you don't like the comparison then don't have a wannabe fascist dictator as your party's leader) when he rose to power and there are people that worship him to this day.

Many white Americans worship at the altar of Donald Trump just like many white Germans reveled in the leadership of Adolph Hitler--fortunately for America, our democracy was strong enough to elect Joe Biden and give us a chance to escape the carnage that a second term would have wrought.  That there are those who still worship Donald Trump despite his manifestly disastrous tenure says as much about the sorry state of their lives as it does about the inadequacy of Trump himself.
