(8,200 posts)Listening to the extremists spew lies 24/7 will have an eventual effect on a persons morality. They have become like the person they worship. A man without a conscience, not a shred of compassion, an empty amoral shell. They have become people who celebrate millions of their fellow citizens being deprived basic medical care. They have been so emptied of compassion that it doesn't bother them that millions of innocent children go to bed hungry to awaken to another hopeless day.
That puts a smile on their faces when their evil party announces massive cuts in assistance programs. They flock to their churches singing hallelujah and rejoicing in that they have guaranteed their salvation. It doesn't matter one shred that they are supporting the very life that their savior condemned and promised would lead to eternal damnation. I confess that I am not religious. But I did take out time to read the Bible from start to finish.
Plowing through a seemly endless list of begets generation after generation. A lot of very interesting tales. But what struck me the was Jesus' compassion for the poor and helpless. He said whoever assists these people are ministering to him and those who turn their back on the suffering will be rewarded by eternal punishment. Now, if I were one of these declared Christians I sure wouldn't be celebrating Trump's handiwork for fear of eternal damnation in the unquenchable fires of hell. Go figure. I sure can't and I am too damn old to try.
This is whats happens when evil reigns supreme throughout the land. Its like a preview of the Apocalypse with the Four Horsemen.
