God is Dead: Prove Me Wrong
Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart
I was raised a Catholic. However, by the time I was in my
first year of Catholic High School, I began to ask questions. I read the Los
Angeles Times daily, and horrific events around the world gave me doubts about
what I had believed for my entire young life.
Some of the precepts of the Christian faith are contained in
the “eight beatitudes.”
Poor in spirit: Recognizing dependence on God.
Those who mourn: Finding comfort in God through repentance.
The meek: Trusting in God rather than self-assertion.
Hunger/thirst for righteousness: Pursuing justice and a
relationship with God.
The merciful: Showing compassion and forgiveness
Pure in heart: Maintaining undivided devotion to God.
Peacemakers: Actively fostering reconciliation.
Persecuted: Enduring hardship for living out faith.
In the Bible, there are promises that those who believe in
these attributes will be honored by God. They would be rewarded, and those with
evil in their hearts who commit crimes against true believers will experience
His wrath.
REALITY IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT IS PROMISED IN THE BIBLE
Reality slapped me in the face when I read about the
atrocities occurring in Africa. The poorest and most defenseless men, women,
and children were suffering from the atrocities of wealthy men whose desires
for great wealth and power were manifested by acts of cruelty and depravity.
In America, one-half of all of our nation’s people struggle
to survive, while about five percent enjoy the lifestyles described in and
guaranteed by the Constitution.
DONALD TRUMP IS THE ANTICHRIST
Over the last 11 years, I have witnessed proof that Donald
John Trump offers absolute proof that either God never existed, or He or She no
longer exists in the 21st century.
Trump is the Antichrist. He is opposed to every word in the
New Testament, and every guarantee included in the Bill of Rights. He clearly
opposes the teachings of Jesus Christ.
If a God existed today, Trump would have received His wrath
long ago. He or She would not allow one old, obese, evil man to destroy the
good accomplished over the last 250 years and intentionally inflict pain on
good men and women who continue to trust and believe in a greater power.
It causes me great pain to know that a large number of fake
Christian leaders worship the Antichrist. It upsets me that although Trump has
exposed himself to all people since 2015, he continues to have supporters.
The truth is always the greatest enemy to those whose only
God is founded in anger, hatred, prejudice, and violence. Those who ignore the
difficulties faced by others and seek pleasure and gratification for themselves
alone, are those described by Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
I HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR TRUE BELIEVERS
I am one of more than 100 million Americans who reject all
organized religion. My reasons are many and personal. However, I admire anyone
who is truly religious and practices the virtues stated in the Bible, the
Torah, the Quran, or any other book or manuscript meant to inspire greater
spirituality within oneself.
R.I.P. FIRST AMENDMENT
Trump used the First Amendment as toilet paper: it no longer
exists in American life.
First Amendment
[Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of
speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and
to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.]
The ruling party in today’s America, Trump’s American Nazi
Party, has complete control over everything happening in Washington today. They
have openly adopted Christianity as our nation’s one, true religion. They do
not believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, but use their fake belief for
personal gain.
Freedom of speech is no longer allowed. Right-wing
extremists on the Supreme Court have approved censorship and voter suppression
to protect Trump’s fascist dictatorship.
Every legitimate newspaper and television network is owned
by one of Trump’s oligarchs. No longer does the press deserve protection under
the First Amendment. Their only reason for existing is to protect Trump and his
anti-American policies.
Peaceful protests are forbidden. Trump violated the Constitution
when he ordered military forces of the United States of America to forcibly
halt protests aimed at his fascist and racist policies and actions.
The paragraph our Founding Fathers intended to protect basic
human rights and rights guaranteed by the Constitution no longer exists.
God is dead, and Trump lives on.
