but here is something I asked in a Lenten post called How "It Works" To Really Believe In The Christian View Of Reality As Opposed To The Materialistic-Scientistic-Atheist View Of It
Who would you rather live next to, someone who believes that the morality of the Gospel is something they are going to have to answer for, if not now then in the life after death, or someone who believed they didn't need to do unto others as they would do unto them, to do for the least among us what we would do to God, to love their enemies and pray for them, to love their neighbor as themselves, so long as they could rig things to act accordingly and get away with doing it? Who would you rather have conduct national policy in this pandemic? Someone who believes in the Gospel and that there will be consequences for our conduct in an afterlife, or in the people who are in charge in the United States?
Answer that question and I'll expand on that as an answer. Though I'll point out that the Trumpzis certainly don't follow the morality of the Gospel because they deny and don't practice any of those points of it listed above. Materialist-atheist-scientism is in no absolute or even implicated way opposed to what Trump is or, in fact, what any of the 20th century or 18th century science claiming reigns of terror and genoicde was, totally unconnected with the Gospel of Jesus. That's an observation that works for my slam on "trad" Catholics, white supremacist Baptists, Pentecostals etc as it does many of the libertarian atheists online and elsewhere. Whatever morality you hold to that is in line with that list of the Gospel of Jesus is held, unwittingly by you, against the logical conclusions of your own claimed ideology. You're a bit more Christian than you'd ever like to think you are.
