I am a Christian and a liberal and an architect, hence a potentially gratifying target for the new Inquisitors. A long and deep secular education in a Quaker school, founded by an early Abolitionist family, and advanced Arts training allows me a fair platform to see what has evolved in the Supreme Court and the “Republican” Party and radical American Catholicism. It is zealotry of the worst and most venal pseudo-Christian kind.
I loved Jack Kennedy and admired his brothers, and I feel the same about President Biden, they were and are men of Faith who understood the necessity of limiting privately held religious belief at bay, if there was a conflict with their secular responsibilities in this Democracy. We can’t passively allow the Zealots any further purchase of political power in this country, and must recapture the areas of American life that have already been seized through deceit and obfuscation.
That necessity to recover generationally held rights is at the top of ticket in November.
Thank you for the thoughtful post, Donald. I admit, I do not consider true followers of Christ to be Christians. That is because I would not lump them in with those would burn people alive (after brutal torture), hung heretics (also after brutal torture) or who consider black people as simply a cursed tribe (Cain and Ham) who deserved to be enslaved, sadly a view shared by many Christians. I once overheard a fundamentalist colleague say to another, "It was God's choice to curse them; not my fault he ordained them to be inferior. and not my place to question God." There IS biblical support for slavery in the Bible.
