Politics: Why Warping Religion is Never Good

While this may not seem like a political based post to you, I assure you that religion and politics do mix as most of you well know even if it shouldn’t mix at some point. People tend to use religion to justify their own horrible means, such as with the Crusades or jihad or tons of other things like that in the end. There are good natured people who want to do things right. There are people who aren’t as good who don’t realize that certain problems apply to them. This post will talk about what I feel can only be best described as religious nuts. What I mean by that are people who warp religion for their own means and take out any real value it was supposed to have. There are a lot of these from different religions so they are good to cover.

Let’s start with a man named Charles Guiteau. While you probably aren’t familiar with the name, he proved a pivotal part of US history as due to him, a United States president, namely James A Garfield, was assassinated. What makes Charles a religious nut goes beyond mental health issues that he suffered with for quite some time. He thought that God told him to kill James and that is the reason why nut comes to mind. There’s a reason the bible says “Thou shall not murder.” He could have possibly suffered from paranoid schizophrenia or some other condition that caused him to hear voices that aren’t there getting him to believe things that aren’t real.

A more recent example of a religious nut is a man named Fred Phelps. While he lead a cult that was under the guise of a church, any real Christian would know that what he spoke of what not from the bible or any Christian church. He lead protests at funerals and preached a gospel of hate that tons of places in the bible contradict. I assure you that he is burning in hell right now along with tons of other heathens.

The Klu Klux Klan is yet another example of people who pervert religion. They think that they are representing God somehow when they burn crosses or discriminate, be it against blacks or anyone else who they look down on.

Of course, Christianity is far from the only religion that has nuts it in that claim to represent it when they don’t. ISIS claims to represent Islam as do many foreign terrorist organizations. But it is no more likely that Muslims attacked the US on 9/11 than it was that those preaching the hate that the Westero “Baptist” [cult] preach actual Christian beliefs.

This warping of religion was probably used by Hitler to support his horrible beliefs. It might have even been used by Stalin as well. Even if it wasn’t, I’m sure that there were and still are people who discriminate and even kill based on the beliefs that these people had.

Then we get to recent events. You don’t attend church or have any signs of faith and yet many see you as God’s candidate somehow. You then order the firing on your own people who are peacefully protesting just so that you can get a photo op at a church. You’d think that people would see through your bullshit after a moment like this, but some will probably still defend this man, dying of a poor covid19 response, but still making sure your tombstone says that you still support Trump. Maybe you should see how the guy in the White House does wrong.

If Trump is God’s candidate, one would then have to argue that whoever got elected in this or any other country was God’s candidate regardless of which religion they are or how closely they follow it. By that logic, God put any Atheist into office just like any Muslim or tons of others who hold whatever belief they have. If you told me that Trump was God’s candidate, I’d have to point to you to the members of the squad, one of whom is Muslim, and see if you believe that she was also God’s candidate for that office or if you fail to support the very theory you support.

Let’s face it: warping religion for your own personal gain is horribly wrong and goes against what God teaches. I’m sure that Satan loves the confusion and misdirection as he gets those who think that they represent Christ or his people to say things that are wrong according to the bible or any other Christian beliefs. You have to find the nuts and get rid of them before they spread to other places. It is the only way to make sure that politicians actually represent God and that’s if you even vote for Christians or those who call themselves that or otherwise are mistakenly believed to be that. Don’t warp religion and always check what one says versus what the bible says and you will be sure to avoid voting for disaster. Biden is Christian, but Trump is not.
