What We Do

Let's not focus on real issues and make real change, because it really matters that Melania Trump was frowning at the Inauguration.

Let's make memes about how more people came to Obama's Inauguration over Trump's Inauguration...
Because attendance numbers at the Inauguration are a major determinant of a person's ability to be president.

Let's talk about how Michelle Obama seemed agitated all day during the Inauguration...
Because it's not about what was actually going on, but what we think was going on and make everyone believe was going on.

Let's compare sentence from Trump's speech with Bane's...
Because this just proves that Trump is evil...I mean, there was a similar line between Trump and Bane....this just proves that Trump is evil.

Let's focus on the Klan's support of Trump...
Because Trump has ultimate power and control over who supports him and which groups offer their votes.

Let's make fun of a woman crying after Trump becomes President....
Because it is funny to say Snowflakes whine too much....

Let's make memes using a cartoon frog....
Because Pepe has been proven to change serious issues.

Let's accept that Trump has already failed as president....
Even after only a week, the opposition is already claiming that America will take a long time to recover from such a disaster as Trump's presidency.

Let's brush off unscrupulous things about those we support...
Emails Schme-Mails....Muslim Registry Schumulism Registry....

I've fallen into this slacktivism and sensationalism at times, if not too often. There are things I don't like about the current culture (Identity Politics, for one), but whatever happens both sides always think they are right.

And, just like everything that comes up and catches the public's attention in some populist eye-catch, I like to find a way to link it with the Revealed Gospel, but it is difficult not to use God's Word just to give further credence to my viewpoint about the world. Bringing God's Word to another is all about them--and should only be about them--not about me.

Jesus and the Presidents

I am really hoping that Jesus was in the hearts and minds of all the presidents, walking beside them all the way, and that Agency's ugly head played occasional havoc.

But, here we are....

 Some people claimed that Satan was made to look like Obama in the series "The Bible."

And, others want to disassociate Trump and Jesus. 

I've always wondered about the extent of one's own dislike of a politician affecting how they apply theology to them. I mean, is it more of someone not liking a politician which leads them to find sources from Scripture to bring them down or....well, fall into confirmation bias?

And, recently I came across this picture. 

I spent years hearing that Obama was the Anti-Christ from some groups, and other groups succumb to state worship. Obama garnered appeal as a leader and towards the federal government, drawing peoples' attention away from local and state issues and more towards the federal level. State worship seemed to be at its peak with Obama. 

But, this is only what I saw from a distance, as I was living in Korea during 90% of Obama's presidency. 

And now, there are some groups who are already jumping on the idea that Trump is the Anti-Christ. I hope Trump does well as president. I'm refuse to buy into the trend these days of claiming Trump has already failed as president. Many were claiming he failed as president before he was even sworn in as president. Only a few days in and things seem to be moving quickly and a lot of executive orders are being signed, but in the six days he has been president, has he already failed? I remember the conservatives jumping on Obama for the same thing. Not one month into Obama's presidency, books were published about Obama's failed presidency. 

Really?

Sounds a little judgmental and highly presumptuous to me. 

....just like I see a lot of the left doing these days. 

Like every president, he will probably do some things well and some things badly. He is human and therefore not perfect. But, I have the belief that one man can make a huge difference in this world. The power of the sole person with ambition and drive can make all the difference, but time will tell on these matters. I have hope in presidents when they take office and it is no different than Trump. 

I'm not going to quote any Scripture verses in support Trump or against Trump. I find that wrong; because, like I said, it seems more like I am trying to confirm my own bias than anything, but when I think of what one person can accomplish, many examples come up through out Scriptures--good and bad examples.

...some made a evil contribution to the world whose extent is still being measured.
