"1. I hope that is true because it would be a blessing to the GOP."
Based on a compare and contrast analysis of the teachings of Jesus Christ with the policies and statements issuing from the Trump Administration, the GOP and Mr. Woods shouldn't spend any time anticipating blessings.
How so?
A faith hijacked by hate: Why MAGA Christians are a cult of power disguised as religion | Milwaukee Independent
https://www.milwaukeeindependent.com/editorial/faith-hijacked-hate-maga-christians-cult-power-disguised-religion/" Their leader is not Christ, but a political figure who represents the opposite of everything Christianity was meant to stand for. A man defined by greed, vengeance, and self-interest has become the moral standard for a movement that still insists on calling itself Christian. What should have been a religion of humility and sacrifice has transformed into an ideology of conquest and resentment in America……
MAGA Christianity does not exist to spread the gospel or bring people closer to Christ. It exists to consolidate power, embedded in hate.…..
The Jesus they claim to follow bears no resemblance to the historical figure who preached against greed, warned about the corrupting nature of power, and condemned religious leaders who placed burdens on the people while exempting themselves. Instead, they have fashioned a new Christ one who looks more like a warrior than a peacemaker. Their version of Jesus carries a rifle, waves an American flag, and seeks vengeance against political enemies.…..
MAGA Christianity is not driven by faith. It is driven by resentment. The movement is defined not by love, forgiveness, or service to others, but by an unrelenting belief that they are the victims of an America that no longer belongs to them.…..
Instead of following Christ's call to love their enemies, they have embraced a culture of perpetual conflict. Any policy that expands rights for marginalized communities is seen as an attack on their own freedom. Any effort to create a more inclusive society is met with rage. They do not fight for religious liberty they fight to maintain an America where their form of Christianity is the only one that holds power.
This resentment has made them willing to overlook any moral failing in their leaders. They support a man whose life is defined by cruelty, dishonesty, and corruption because they believe he will punish those fellow Americans who they have been conditioned to hate. Their faith is no longer about salvation or spiritual growth. It is about ensuring that those they view as enemies suffer defeat, humiliation, and exclusion.…..
They rail against policies that provide food, shelter, and medical care to the poor, despite Christ's explicit commands to care for the needy. They preach about protecting children while defending policies that strip away their healthcare and safety. They claim to oppose oppression while cheering laws that restrict voting rights, bodily autonomy, and personal freedoms.…..
A real Christian movement would reject cruelty, division, and the worship of political leaders. It would care for the sick, the poor, and the marginalized. It would prioritize peace over conflict, justice over control, and grace over vengeance. But MAGA Christianity does none of these things. It does not exist to serve it exists to dominate."
