O ye of faith

O ye of faith – you once claimed that God made all to his image and likeness.
Your distance from that message has been very striking.
Now you stand against those who don’t fit a certain mold.
You partake and condone an atmosphere of cruelty.
Showing no kindness or empathy.
Putting your trust in an amoral man, with a holier-than-thou complex.
Believing he’s a God-send.
Why can’t you trust in the progress toward equality of gender, ethnicity and race?
Seems you’re too coward to face diversity and inclusivity.
Instead you choose corruption and criminality.

O ye of faith – where is your courage?
You’ve been allowing hate and rage to flourish.
Instead of moving forward with hope as a way of helping people to cope, you’ve embraced the darkness, the insane and dangerous.
Accepting outrageous claims in God’s name.
Following in the footsteps of women and men who readily use God as a means to an end.
Not consistent in actions, words, ideas and ideals.
Lacking in substance, conviction and integrity.
Steadily, Trump and his Republicans have been chipping away at rules, law, order, norms, and basic decency.
Making many in US believe that we are more different than we are the same.
Which has been a deliberate aim.
All that Trump and his allies bring, people of faith, you have been accepting.
And much of what Trump and his Republicans say is wrong, they have been projecting.
Conveniently targeting groups for easy blame.
To their game, where standards and rules are not the same.

The LGBTQ plus community is so vile to people of faith, including Christians.
But a man like Trump – of horrible disposition, lacking morals and scruples, isn’t.
Judging, sentencing – not just based on religion, but mixing in political, anti-liberal, even anti-Semitic agendas.
Yet it’s people trying to live their truth and their allies who are the offenders.

Many, including those of faith, vote in line with capitalism, love of money, at times guised as concern for the economy – over the eradication of poverty.
They will abandon a man and not vote for a woman showing decency, love for people and country to re-instate one who lacks character, thrives on negativity and is discriminatory.
Hypocritical, ultra-conservatism ought to be nationwide.
To hell with those who don’t comply.
Power to this MAGA Republican Party trumps truth, justice and equal opportunity.
Showing no care for fairness when it comes to other’s accessibility and their side’s accountability.
Seemingly, God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness only apply to those on the right.
And he sanctions his soldiers to violently fight in his name, whatever they’re against.
All of this doesn’t negatively affect society.
Only the sins of the left and the LGBTQ plus community.

People of faith ought to stand as one – Against Trump and for religious freedom.
It’s ill-fated, dictating faith.
Worship based on a religion that’s forced by State is not a good strategy.
The Republican regime wants to bully and mandate to their ideology and beliefs.
More academic than spiritual.
More radical than practical.

O ye of faith – Is the breakdown of family and societal values truly because the LGBTQ plus community exists?
Or because of what you and many in society say, do and accept in a relentless quest to resist?
