In sorrow and hope, fight on
The old adage, “Be careful what you wish for,” is about to demonstrate its wisdom. Millions of people have rewarded a racist demagogue for his provocations by electing him over an accomplished and decent woman of African and South Asian descent.
To quote their God Bless The USA Bible, they will reap the whirlwind (Hosea 8:7). It is time to stop letting people who dominate our politics get away with waving the Bible around while ignoring its wisdom.
Cherry picking Old Testament passages to beat others over the head is not Christianity. They love to proclaim Jesus as their Lord and Savior, but violate his teachings at every turn.
Thus they will ignore Jeebus on welcoming strangers (Matthew 25:35) and cheer on the 47th president (God help us) as he attempts to deport millions of immigrant laborers, which will tank the economy and is unimaginably cruel.
