  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s personal beliefs: white supremacy, fascism, the repeal of the First, Fourth, Fifth, and 14 th Amendments, and rule by the super-rich. What he does not believe: freedom and justice for all, due process, tradition, history, the rule of law, complete equality for all, diversity, inclusion, free thought, doing the right thing, and the New Testament of the Bible. Trump’s fascist administration, whose only “gods” are power and great wealth, consistently brag about ‘protecting religious freedom.’ Their actions prove that this only applies to Christian extremism, and their support for the  Old Testament: a collection of fairy tales and fables . They reject your right to practice the Religion of Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, or any other faith not controlled by priests, ministers, pastors, and most significantly Evangelical leaders.    Their leader, Dictator Donny Trump, has never been a “Christian.” During the 2016 campaign season, he offered t...

Op-ed by TheWiseOld Fart   If you claim to be a Christian, and continue to support Donald Trump, you are a liar and a hypocrite. I was raised a Catholic, but I am a member of the largest group of Americans today, known as “Nones.” I reject organized religion and all the lies and propaganda from Evangelical leaders.   It is an undeniable fact that Trump is a sexual predator, a lifelong criminal, a misogynist, a homophobe, and a constant prevaricator. The pastor of the Christian church he claims to belong to revealed that “he has never seen him cross the threshold of that church.”   This has not stopped MAGA Republicans from claiming that “America has always been a Christian country.” I am required to inform these malcontents that history proves them wrong.   At the core of why our Founding Fathers created the United States of America is “freedom of religion.” That’s why the first line of the First Amendment reads, “ . Congress shall make no law respecting an e...

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart   Only men and women who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ in the New Testament can call themselves “Christians.” Donald Trump has never set foot in the church he claims to support, according to the church’s pastor. Trump is a confirmed and convicted sexual predator, a lifetime criminal, tells lies constantly, and judges everyone crudely while refusing to admit his many mistakes. Anyone who supports this bitter, angry, obese, old white man who spreads anger, hatred, and intitiates violence cannot claim to follow the instructions of the Christ. The majority of Evangelicals are hypocrites. Let me state a personal opinion. Religious interference in America’s government is the greatest danger to our nation’s future. Religious extremism has been the force behind wars and the deaths of millions of innocent men, women, and children for centuries. There is no justification for allowing religions to become a factor in how America is governed. We are n...
