The Good Pastor strikes
Like Samson slaying Philistines, the Good Pastor weighs into the army of “atheistic” Democrats courting support from Black ministers (Pastor Morris A Curry Jr., “The Democrats' agenda”).
He claims that the BidenHarris agenda “is diametrically opposed to Judeo-Christian ethics”, which somehow sounds a lot like Republican talking points.
“Sanctity of life”, “border security”, “energy independence”, “cut inflation” and “relief for the homeless” are somehow now “Judeo-Christian ethics” that Biden-Harris must “diametrically oppose” so that people will “have to eat cat food to survive like they did a few years ago.”
Seriously.
Let's give our Good Pastor one of Samson's own haircuts.
“Judeo-Christian” is a bogus term for an imagined (only by Christians) set of shared values between Christians and Jews. It implies that Christianity is the continuation and fulfillment of Judaism, Jewish people are persisting to this day only because God needs 144,000 Jews to be staged in the Holy Land prior to The
Last Days.
Seriously.
That is what drives the Evangelical support for Israel: To bring on the End of Days. The ethics that Jews actually agree upon with Christians are the humanistic ethics that the Good Pastor despises.
Border security, energy independence and cutting inflation are neither Republican nor Christian issues as such, just items being used to scare voters to the polls. The Republican-dominant
House will take up none of these items next year, instead focusing on Hunter Biden's laptop (for something), impeaching the president (for something), defunding the IRS, Medicare and Social Security, and abandoning Ukraine.
Anyone still thinking of the Republicans as the Party of Jesus has paid no attention to the Scriptures or to current events.
A truly Christian nation would welcome the stranger at their gates instead of securing the border against them.
A truly Christian nation would lead the world in renewable energy in honor and thanks for the Earth as God's gift to us.
A truly Christian nation would indeed “foster relief for the homeless,” but this is not a Republican issue, at all.
Republicans know that our obscene wealth gap, homelessness and child poverty rates speak to the evils we will gladly tolerate in exchange for tax cuts, packed courts and no questions asked.
“Sanctity of life” refers only to abortion — not to military weapons in civilian hands murdering children, not to murdering an Iranian general (who was up to something), not to the thousands of Yemenis and Palestinians killed by our weapons that we placed in the hands of our business partners, and certainly not to the million dead in Iraq killed for the weapons that we lied about them having. Sanctity of life is not a Republican principle.
The Good Pastor wields the ass' jawbone not against God's enemies, but toward whoever his Republican masters point.
He slid off the Moral High Ground long ago, and lost his Moral Compass pretending that The Scriptures support Republican policies.
Like the Company doctor reassuring miners that the coal dust they breathe is harmless (if not good for you), the many Good Pastors of America have prostituted themselves by lending their name and reputation to the Party of Greed & Spite.
