I hope that when good Christian folk say the Lord’s Prayer in church this week, they will think carefully about the plea, “deliver us from evil”. Our nation desperately needs to be protected form the evil of Donald Trump. The man is the perfect representation of evil among men. Crude, vulgar. selfish, cruel, faithless, self centered, greedy and full of hate for anyone who does not bow down to him. He cannot read and does not read. He is illiterate and ignorant. He is particularly ignorant about U.S. history and government, as well as world geography and world history. When asked to name his favorite book of the Bible, he made his usual sidestep and said, “Oh, there are so many I can’t name just one.” I’d be willing to bet that he can’t name the Gospels and doesn’t know the difference between the Old Testament and the New . He is ignorant of all literature including that of the Bible.
How can good people of religious values possibly support such a man? It is the greatest puzzle I see in our country. I can understand evil men – there have been many – Hitler, Bundy, Capone (Whom Trump admires) and Stalin. But never has one threatened our country as Trump does. I want to cry out and beg people to listen to him, to read about him, to think about what he says. He is full of evil that will consume and destroy what we value most. We cannot let him win this battle between good and evil. For the sake of our children and the children to come, please don’t let him destroy the goodness of our country and endanger the world.
