Christians and Trump. A match made in hell.

 The thousands who gathered and chanted and stormed and, yes, killed heeded the words of their political deity -- President Donald Trump, a man without a moral compass. "You'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong." These were the President's words at the "Save America March" just hours before his eager audience would take him up on his request. I have never understood how Christians could support him in the name of Christianity. How do you align lying, bragging about immorality, the egging on of violence and cruelty, and the violation of a sacred oath (to "protect and defend the Constitution") with Christianity? It is as far from the principles of Christianity -- or any faith that I know -- as a person can get.

The mob that stormed the Capitol and the President who sees my faith as a cynical and convenient political tool both show an utter disregard for the highest values contained in Scripture. Where was the value of non-violence celebrated in the Sermon on the Mount? Where was the value of "putting away falsehood" and speaking the truth? Where was the spirit of doing justice, loving mercy and walking humbly with God? They made a mockery of Christianity, and exposed those who follow Trump, in the name of their God, as clueless, moronic, ignorant sheep, sucked in by a lying conman who laughs at them behind their back.
