Apparently, Trump supporters just erected a cross outside the Michigan Capitol. Giant guns and a giant cross don’t belong together. Trump-evangelicalism really is a religious cult. But don’t call it Christianity... it looks nothing like Christ. https://t.co/nNctgi1X74
Those who have sowed the seeds of division, hatred, conspiracies, and lies cannot feign innocence when it all erupts in chaos and violence. Don’t stoke the fire and then act surprised when it burns down the house.
I try not to shame people for who they voted for, and I still won’t, but if you continue to support a person who incites things like this on the grounds that he “is better for the economy” or “is a badass” or whatever it is, then you have lost my respect.
Have a nice day.
If you’re not intentionally looking for the best in the person whose political views disgust you, you are, in effect, acting on the assumption that they are pure evil. You are, in effect, acting like you are God, for only God could know this. That is not something you want to do.
Next time you’re tempted to boast, just say under your breath, ‘It’s not about me.’ Say it a dozen times a day. Say it a thousand times a month ... Say it when you bless a meal or do something wonderful or selfless or when you help hurting people. Make it your anthem.
