Evangelical Christianity, as generally known is an influential proselytizing movement, whose avowed purpose is to affirmatively promote the moral teachings and faith as prescribed in the New Testament. Such self-appointed “mission” encompasses the active promotion of New Testament Biblical dogma, particularly, its proclaimed direction to Mankind to conduct his life in an unassailably moral and faith-based manner. The context of this writing relates to our attempt to comprehend their bizarre and unfailing support of the sociopathic person of Donald Trump.
In our view, the salient revelation of empirical falsity of such avowed missionary dedication appears to be nowhere as demonstrably false and deceitful as in the movement’s eternal support for the miscreant, Donald J. Trump; whose blatant immorality and multiple acts of felonious criminality (“sins”) are daily confirmed by the national media.
Perhaps the most illuminating of Trump’s vast morass of immoral and egregious charges (inclusive of 91 felony indictments and errant behavior ranging from tax fraud, bribery, adultery, judicially determined rape, defamation and tax fraud, to, acts of definitional treason and sedition, including the incitement of an insurrection), is the “hush money,” Trump-Stormy Daniels, Criminal Court prosecution, now on trial. The case involves Trump’s adulterous congress with a porn star, at the time when his third wife, Melania had recently given birth to their son, Baron. Trump’s “sinful” behavior, later exacerbated by his criminally fraudulent scheme to hide it from potential public notoriety by means of a false pay-off scheme, designating the same as “legal fees”; to avoid the revelation, before an imminent election, of his lewd and lascivious lifestyle. Said deceitful and lurid episode if potentially supplemented by a broadcast taped event, containing Trump’s outrageous boasts of singular sexual prowess and celebrity privilege regarding women, predictably, would have ended his role as a Presidential nominee.
The reported testimony in the Stormy Daniels criminal fraud trial, to date, unveils the neurotic extent of Donald Trump’s narcissistic sense of personal sexual prowess; her surprise confrontation with his unexpected appearance in “sexy” silk pajamas, and enticing behavior, consisting of his false intimations to “Stormy” of the opportunity to appear on the Trump- hosted television program, “The Apprentice,” and the adulterous sex act, itself. Also clearly proven was the subsequent, felonious scheme to disguise the $130,000 payoff to Stormy for her silence.
As a general matter, Donald J. Trump has long been shown to be a serial abuser of women. The record confirms that Trump has practiced a life-long career of sexual assault, including, non-consensual groping and kissing of women. Notably, Trump has been judicially adjudicated a “rapist” and a serial defamer in the much publicized, E. Jean Carroll case. In the realm of business, Trump enjoys a known, despicable reputation for “stiffing” his contractors, tax evasion and a well-deserved reputation as a real estate grifter.
It is thematically instructive that Trump’s tawdry lifetime of “sin,” including his overflowing cornucopia of criminal acts, many of which are the subject of criminal indictment, supplemented by his record as a serial feminine abuser and rapist, markedly, have not diminished his consistent support by the Evangelical movement, the latter, publically represented as the proselytizing and judgmental “holier than thou,” “keep the faith,” horde of apparent religious pretenders..
An instructively analogous phenomenon, viz., the purported, “Right to Life,” advocates’ publically espoused pretentions, similarly, do not, at minimum, approach empirical reality. Contrary to the language of their tactically selected name, they will dedicatedly and shamelessly commit murder, destroy adult lives, and institute harassing criminal prosecutions, in their purported cause to protect “life”; but whose rank hypocrisy is irrefutably revealed by their consistently cruel opposition to government assistance to the needy child following birth. The patent hypocrisy of their avowed mission espousing “right to life,” is demonstrated by its bizarre applicability, solely, to the fetus, itself, until the event of birth. Their irrational hypocrisy and deceitful pretense is further demonstrated by their record of support for capital punishment, uniform opposition to gun regulation and opposition to both abortion and contraception. By analogy to the purported Evangelical Deity-inspired, moral mission, which chooses to afford its tactical support for the brazenly immoral Donald Trump, the “Right to Life” movement deceitfully, asserts its firm dedication to protect “human life,” albeit, strictly limited to the existence and duration of the fetus. It is observably evident that their respective motivations are far from that publicly advertised.
Political power and influence would empirically appear to be the authentic motivation of Evangelical Christianity as well as the deceitfully named, “Right to Life” adherents. Rather than admirable promotion of morality and respect for human life, they, unconscionably, mask their nefarious lust for political power and noxious influence in appealing, but false and deceptive cloaks of moral rectitude.
We have often declared the existential importance for any normally socialized, contemplative citizen, to exercise his moral judgment, founded upon his own consistent, empirically based self-image, rather than to, facilely and perilously, accept that of any arrogant and possibly self-interested third-party sources, religious or secular.
