Normalizing the Abnormal

Coming to Accept What Shouldn’t Be Accepted

The Jesus of the Bible tells us to love our enemies and serve the powerless. The made-up Jesus of today tells us to defeat our enemies and puts his followers in power positions. The former is Christianity. The latter is a power cult masquerading as Christianity.

The Trumpian way: If things you do don’t turn out positive, just say they have and denounce any reporting that shows otherwise as being “fake.”

Squelching press freedom is a sure sign of a leader’s weakness, instability and unbridled megalomania. It’s also appallingly un-American.
