Trump

Trump became president today. I saw a rational, sane person support him, posting this:



This was my response.

If your faith was in God and Christ crucified, then you would remember what he was executed for; 1) sedition against the state and 2) challenging the status quo in favor of affirming the dignity of the marginalized, the outcast, the downtrodden, the socially undesirable, the other.


Trump's campaign was largely built on unfounded fear of these social undesirables, these others. People were talked into being afraid that the others would harm their country.

If you voted for Trump and believed his rhetoric based on fear of the other, then your faith was in an idol, in a nation, not Christ crucified.  You valued a sense of security over the love of Christ.

This is what shakes my faith.
