I definitely haven't taken all the teachings to heart, and I guess I'm an atheist about this, too - because I believe these people are beyond hope, beyond salvation.

But maybe the believers still following Christ and not Trump - maybe they can have that hope for the rest of us.

I think that's what really gets me deep in the chest, that weird unsettled feeling - they're doing what they were warned against. They're rejecting Christ and his teachings. And unlike me, they SHOULD believe that they'll have to answer for it. As for me, deep in my skeptic "soul..."

The one thing I know is that if I find I was wrong, when I die, if I had to stand in front of the Christian God, I would rather stand there as myself, saying that I just couldn't believe, I wasn't wired for it - than as one of the so called Christians so vocally denying Christ to follow Trump.

I couldn't imagine these people who professed to be true believers turning on their savior. I felt like a fraud because I was, at best, a somewhat agnostic "red letter" Christian, only interested in the words of Jesus. But... was I the fraud? Maybe I'm destined for hell, if it were real.

There's a part of me that was shaped by those teachings, that grew into who I am today. And that part of me still remembers the warnings about how people would reject him. And turn on him. And follow Man and not Christ. Because they would hate his message.

And here's the thing. I'm not religious. But I was radicalized in the church. The teachings of Jesus were what initially solidified my views on equality, kindness, mercy, selflessness, and, greed. Even faithless I still carry that with me. And there's an ugly feeling watching them reject it.

Oh no 😣 feel better soon!!

My thoughts and prayers most definitely are as well.

There's a way to create "starter packs" here where one click adds them all. Not saying you have to do more work of course! But it's a neat feature if you ever want to use it.

Love it!

...only the 'bad' one 😂🫣
