Religious right zealots hear from a writer in Erie PA

This echo letter is about the hypocrisy of Evangelicals who blindly support Donald Trump. It was sent to the editor and published in the Erie Times-News at GoErie.com:

(This is a "wake up" letter to Evangelicals!)

Letter from Erie Pennsylvania is a broadcast opinion! This letter is among the opinions I've selected to blog as I randomly cruise the nation's newspapers. 

I believe that the advent of computer technology and the internet has led to an impersonal world in which individuals who are angry, combative and somewhat self-centered and narcissistic can belittle others and give their political (and spiritual-religious) opinions on everything, and “tweet” many nasty, bullying things, which is what I believe Donald Trump is doing (MaineWriter ~ at all hours of the day and night!).

I believe this has led to two separate philosophical-political cultures in America, where people feel this is true: First, Trump is “their” president, not “ours.” Second, others say, Trump is “our” president, and speaks for “us,” and that they alone are “America.”

Yet, I believe the cultural-religious right is governed by capitalism, Calvinism and an avaricious, narcissistic racist culture that touts that greed is good, right and “will save America,” as Michael Douglas quipped in the movie “Wall Street.”

I believe wealthy televangelists are responsible for the election of Donald Trump, as the culture of greed and self-love is fueled by their evangelical born-again “gospel” of health, wealth and prosperity, and, of late, flaunting of evangelical whiteness.

I believe the religious right is addicted to evil, hate, fear, guilt, shame and blame. It is addicted to blame of leftists, liberals, socialists and Democrats, love of Zionism and hatred of Muslims.

Religious right televangelist John Hagee of San Antonio, Texas, got Trump elected with his words, “God will hold you responsible for not voting for Donald J. Trump for president of the United States.”

I believe that the religious right fears everything, hates everyone and misuses the word “God.”

I believe that the gods of the religious right are the Republican Party, the National Rifle Association and Donald Trump. That is their right-wing political trinity.

God rescue America.
