I truly believe that we have never seen a human being be more proud about being a complete illiterate as Donald Trump.
This morning he tweeted this:
Never mind the fact that this is actually indoctrinating children in which Christians make an attempt at the absurd, and try to turn the Bible into a science. It's insane, but Christians do it.
But Donald Trump is promoting something in which he has no knowledge of, because the fucker doesn't even read, and even if he was a Christian, he's truly bad at it.
Sociologists of Religion, Christopher Pieper and Matt Henderson laid out ten reasons as to why a Christian should not have voted for Donald Trump:
1. He lacks compassion.
2. He appeals to fear and anger.
3. He is enamored with “greatness” and ego, but has no concern for “goodness” or service.
4. He lies — a lot.
5. He is hostile to women.
6. He speaks about his daughter in a disrespectful and sexualized way.
7. He does not attempt to love his enemies, but instead cultivates antagonism.
8. He does not model sacrifice or altruism.
9. He doesn’t seem to care about the poor.
10. His love of money is more apparent than his love of God or others.
The Christian right doesn't care. The empty void of Donald Trump's morals has given them an opportunity to push their Christian-facism, argues journalist Chris Hedges.
"Donald Trump’s ideological vacuum, the more he is isolated and attacked, is being filled by the Christian right," Hedges wrote in 2017. "This Christianized fascism, with its network of megachurches, schools, universities and law schools and its vast radio and television empire, is a potent ally for a beleaguered White House."
"The Christian right has been organizing and preparing to take power for decades," writes Hedges, and warns of what could happen with the next disaster that could hit America in the near future.
"If the nation suffers another economic collapse, which is probably inevitable, another catastrophic domestic terrorist attack or a new war, President Trump’s ability to force the Christian right’s agenda on the public and shut down dissent will be dramatically enhanced."
"In the presidential election," continues Hedges, "Trump had 81 percent of white evangelicals behind him."
So although Donald Trump is not a Christian, he is going to give a major part of his political base the ability to enact their fascist agenda.
"If the alliance between these zealots and the government succeeds," writes Hedges, "it will snuff out the last vestiges of American democracy."
