It’s such a harmful Christian theology that looks at wars and famine and says, “this might be the fulfillment of End Times prophecies!” and “Jesus might be retuning soon!” instead of “look at how much people are suffering!” and “how can we stop this injustice?”

When you worship power, compassion and mercy will look like sins.
When you worship power, the harsher the treatment towards your "enemies," the more righteous it will look.
When you worship power, the value and dignity of others is solely measured by their conformity to you.

Notice how it’s always, “our laws must be inspired by the Bible!” until it comes to the +2,000 passages in the Bible that discuss the generous use of wealth and possessions in a way that prioritizes the needs of the poor, this sick, the stranger, the vulnerable, and the oppressed.

When a politician claims that God is on their side, they are just using God to try to get you on their side.
It is simply taking God's name in vain for the sake of their own pursuit of power.
Turning any politician into some messiah like figure for Christianity is blasphemous.

Illegal arrests made by the Trump administration are intended to spread fear and silence dissent.
We cannot allow Trump and his cronies to turn the United States of America into an authoritarian society in which people can be disappeared for their political beliefs.

A Christianity that gets offended at the idea of a society using its resources to care for one another is a Christianity that has abandoned Jesus a long time ago.
