Religious hitching a ride with politicians.
And politicians feigning religious.
What a dangerous mix for an imperfect Republic.
Unfortunately the religious sided with those who seek power for power’s sake.
Not the ones who try to rectify our Nation’s pains and aches.
Why is it with a Trump win
The religious believed that Jesus was at the wheel?
But with Biden – There was a steal?
Is that how it’s done –
When you use religion as a crutch?
Until you get hold of something other
That can give you as much?
Boredom and isolation can lead to sin.
Ripe for recruiting and brainwashing.
Especially when leaders are partaking.
Religious have been in the spotlight for all to see.
And the leaders chose to highlight doctrine and theology.
Never mind the message of how you should help your fellowmen.
They focused more on how to support the Trump Administration.
So instead of highlighting religion to repair what ails politics.
Religious leaders allowed politics to dictate
The path religious should take.
It’s not to be anti-church or anti-religion.
But advancement of religious doctrine
Shouldn’t be more important than effect and outcome.
Preaching to an assemblage
Can’t be more salient than keeping people safe.
Keeping the reversal of Roe V Wade in sight
While losing sight of the loss of ground
To advancements of social, cultural and political.
Getting the ear of a President King.
But not hearing the cries of those
Who are in pain and are suffering.
Moving to clean the sins of secular
While using sinful and dirty tactics as regular.
Accepting vile, divisive and deceptive as normal.
Not singing compassion, service or humility in their chorus.
Easy to carry Jesus on a sign.
More difficult to genuinely sign on
And stick to God’s true message and plan.
Religious leaders need to go back to seeing their congregation
As Children of God, not as opportunities for votes.
If the aim is no longer to separate Church from State
And church leaders’ ties to politicians become common and legitimate.
Then the powerful political will be able to dictate our worshipping.
And you may be fine if it’s yours.
But if that ever changes course
Only then would you realize that religious freedom was lost.
An erosion of truth and other values sanctioned by religious.
God used in the frontline of excuses.
Even when the words and actions are malicious.
Christians. Evangelists, Jews –
Where are your voices?
All religious and other leaders who led their flock
Now see the results of their sinister choices.
You supposedly stood for what you thought was right.
So now you’ve seen the results.
What’s the meaning of your silence?
It was with a bull-horn that you announced your support for Trump.
That same energy and loudness is needed if you now denounce.
Or is it to the same direction you will be leading your flock
When 2022 and 2024 come around?
