Age-Old Saga Rears
Its Ugly Head Once Again
Christo-Fascist Movement A Threat to Peaceful Society
By Steve Rensberry
--------------------------
The
age-old battle of brutish impulse vs compassionate intelligence has
reared its ugly head once again in the American saga, like some kind of
sadistic reality show where the fun thing to do is kick people out of
the country, take away their civil rights, or tell them they can't do
things they've had a right to do for decades. As a former evangelical,
what has happened in the religous sphere of life is equally horrific. Do
modern-day evangelicals want to save people's souls anymore, or are
they merely participants in a sleeper cell, practicing religion and
baking cookies in fellowship halls while plotting to overthrow a good,
honest, secular democratic government?
As one Quora post regarding evangelicals noted: "Their embrace of Trump
shows they are a political group not a Christian group. They have
economic policies that hurt the poor and help the rich. They hate
programs that help the poor or sick. They are exactly the opposite of
what Christ taught. If he came back today he would hang out with the
atheists because they are MUCH better Christians. He would send the
evangelicals somewhere else."
SUMMARY: Hear from legal experts at the ACLU of Maine, U.S. Magistrate Judge James Orenstein (Ret.), and former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance.
