​How Christianity* preps people for fascism

Apologies to the unjustly maligned wolf.

CHRISTIANITY TEACHES that whatever God commands is right and moral, because God would not command anything that wasn’t right or moral. It’s circular reasoning on stilts. It places Christians in a position of finding ways to defend immoral acts like drowning everyone save a single family or mass slaughtering firstborns in Egypt. 

No matter if you don’t understand or, worse, don’t like what God commands. You’re playing in God’s ball game. If you don’t knuckle under, you’re in for unimaginable punishment. It’s authoritarianism on stilts, but what can you do?

So it’s little wonder that so many Christians* respond positively to Trump. When he claims to be unerringly right and threatens to punish all who resist or question him, many Christians find themselves in familiar, comfortable territory.
