Where's Your Messiah Now, Evangelicals?
A vast number of you still believe that Donald Trump was ‘chosen by God’ to lead the nation.
If that was your God’s plan, why did He choose someone He knew would be exposed – repeatedly – as a liar, a bigot, a cheat, and an incompetent buffoon who would be reviled the world over?
If you believe that your God is all-knowing, surely He foresaw that his ‘chosen one’ would fail every test of his ability to lead – from the California wildfires, to hurricanes in Puerto Rico, to the events in Charlottesville, to the response to Covid-19, and now to the massive protests against racial injustice – and fail so spectacularly.
Why would your God anoint an idiot who stands against everything that Jesus Christ stood for – like sheltering the homeless, feeding the hungry, caring for the sick, comforting the dying?
Does your God just have it in for America? Is His choice of Trump to lead us just an example of that divine sense of humour that is His, and His alone?
Perhaps Trump was a test – not of him, but of you. Maybe your God wanted to see just who among you was willing to abandon the tenets of your faith in order to follow the fat Golden Calf – the one who promised to rid the country of all the people you don’t like.
If that was the test, guess what, Evangelicals? You’ve failed – just as spectacularly as your anointed-by-God “pResident" continues to do on a daily basis.
Oh, in answer to the question posed, you can find your Messiah cowering in the WH, 'inspecting' the bunker and having the police clear the way of protestors before having the guts to show his face in public - but that's the way your God wanted it, right?
