The Golden Calf with a Golden Toilet Is Signing and Selling Bibles
The grievous Christian hypocrisy of Trump’s latest gimmick
A twice-impeached former president, the cherished candidate of the American Evangelical right is campaigning for a second term from multiple courtrooms.
And between hearings, he is signing and selling Bibles.
My fellow Christians, is this not blasphemy?
My friends. In addition to his shameless monetization of our Holy Scripture, his avalanche of charges, indictments, and convictions reveals a most un-Christlike pattern of personal and professional decisions.
Some American Christians proclaim Trump is being unfairly targeted and personally persecuted by “political witch hunts” and a “weaponized legal system.”
Other Christians (as well as not religiously affiliated voters) are stupefied and heartbroken that a philandering grifter is the resounding choice of the Evangelical right and other Christian voters. Again.
We Christians used to be mocked for being too prude, too naive. For a brief moment in the violent and sordid history of Christianity, back when “square” was a colloquial insult, social naivete and myopic sexuality were American Christians’ greatest failures.
