Donald Trump and maga Republicans are wrong to confuse Trump's evil Iran war with Christianity

Donald Trump's incoherent actions, attitude concern readers for the nation’s future: Opinion published in the Chattanooga Times Free Press: Apostle Matthew 5-9: "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God"  

War is not Christian and not in any way evidence of Patriotism❗

Not Christian nor American:  I find this version of "Christianity" that insists God is blessing Donald Trump's illegal Iran war, that prays for "bullets to find their target," that promotes bombs as God's instruments, to be repulsive, reckless and irresponsible. 

Those evil descriptors don't begin to address the issue that this is neither the values representing Christianity nor the values we have traditionally held dear as Americans.

And did I mention, this has bypassed Congress, has ignored our very Constitution and has come in direct conflict with international law❓ Who have we become that we are not hearing more dissent? Why are we not absolutely resolute in insisting our lawmakers in Congress take back their rightful role in the co-equal branches of government❓

Tragically, so much is at stake. Truly, this is much more than one's political affiliation. This is an issue that should matter to every single American. This is about our values and morality and our willingness to hold those who are conducting this current war to a standard that reflects our values and morality. 

Handwringing doesn't cut it. Insistence and persistence are our friends in making our voices heard and our expectations clear to our lawmakers and to those who are tasked with leadership.
