Cause for concern

The mixing of Christian (and I use that term loosely) fundamentalism with politics is resulting in radical views that mock the teachings of Jesus. This is not the new testament you may have learned as a child but rather an apocalyptic and dystopic vision of theocracy that an uncomfortably large minority of Americans seem to want.

The fact that Trump scores so highly with Evangelicals really should speak to us about how many deluded idiots are walking around on this planet and not just in the US. A man who is the antithesis of holiness is their new Messiah and some pastors are rightfully concerned that it's gotten out of hand.

We have our share of these people in Canada and the rest of the world isn't spared either only that they exist in small enough numbers in nations without the clout that a global superpower has.

I did not watch the GOP debate last night (heaven forbid) but listening to commentary about it this morning informed me that all but two of the candidates would support Trump were he to be the eventual nominee. That this is beyond worrisome speaks to the cancer that has taken hold among people who cannot even eloquently or logically state their belief system to themselves never mind to anyone else.
