@ITKV @tgraph52 This is a growing lament among Christian leaders -- they are being told by their congregations that the Bible's Jesus is too woke for them. Instead, they need a sneering, domineering Jesus.

Populist Christian supremacism invokes a hollowed-out power of "God," and applies it to suspiciously narrow-minded, self-serving objectives.

Trump is more important to many folks than their doctors, religious leaders, educators, and their own family.

He is the zenith of celebrity culture.
