I am a Christian, even a Baptist, very “evangelical,” don’t you know. I thought I knew mainly what that meant until ten years ago. I thought at least MOST Christians fell on the Erica Kirk, not Stephen Miller, side of Christianity, at least most of the time and hopefully for the right reasons(Remember Jesus?). That is absolutely clearly not true for one minute any more for the VAST majority of American “Christians.” I refused to watch one minute of that staged production, orchestrated to be swallowed whole by the drones and cult members of right wing Christianity.

Ironically, the widow’s grace is not matched by her own husband. Almost every word out of his mouth was cruel, hateful and belittling and showed arrogant contempt and true vitriol for those who had a different view of anything from him. And he was clearly racist all the time. There is no way to square that circle. The hypocrisy and cognitive dissonance is off the charts—everywhere. I am grateful his widow said what she did, but it is not being followed in any way shape or form by anyone in the political “right” or the religious “right.”

This country in general, and American Christianity particularly, and ESPECIALLY evangelical Christianity, has sold its soul lock, stock and barrel to Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Tom Homan and all the other morally, spiritually and humanly broken and bankrupt individuals running our country. In my view, Charlie Kirk did not practice what his widow preached nor do the millions treating him as a “Christian” martyr today. Do I sound bitter? When my faith is hijacked and perverted more and more each passing day, yes I am bitter, bewildered and heartbroken.
