‘MAGA Churches’ Are An Insult to Christianity
Trump-allied pastors choose politics over faith
I’ve written several articles about the crisis that occurred in Christianity when it hitched itself to former President Donald Trump.
There is a segment of the church that is allied with the far-right, white nationalist politics of the Trump Republican Party. In their eyes, God is a gun-toting white man who hates dark-skinned foreigners who don’t speak his native tongue, English.
However, these MAGA Christians seem to ignore Jesus Christ’s message of loving thy neighbor, caring for the poor and sick, and “beloved are the peacemakers.” This is a masculine form of Christianity, which focuses on xenophobia, gun worship and extolling the values of capitalism.
Politics and Church
Over the years, Christianity has adapted to the tastes of the region. But one problem with Christianity is it seems to be whatever the current practitioners want it to be. As I’ve said before, I don’t know what Christianity stands for anymore.
