Here is What Christians were Awarded by Voting for Trump





China has imposed a law against establishing new churches in China. Sarcastically, I'm calling for an "Amen."

The ban and the reason given is exactly what the Soviet Union did against Christianity prior to WWII. The Soviets did not like potential of religion to organize against the ruling party politically so they tried to stamp out Christianity. 

I can't stop my own conspiracy thinking from lighting up. If you were China and had been planning for a response to a Trump trade war for some years, what tricks would be in your quiver? You would have studied where Trump's political support comes from and take that support away from him. Any student of elections can see Trump was really popular in rural areas where grain prices rule. The Chinese know the grain business. They started buying more grain from South American during Trump's first term and U. S. farmers have never gotten that market back. Now, they have all but stopped, or threatened to stop, buying any U.S. grain. Lower grain prices will lose Trump some votes.

Next the Chinese no doubt saw pictures of Trump praying with large groups of dufus preachers. They also read polling data showing Trump did well with people who frequently attend church. "Let's take that support away" they might have gleefully said. China probably has the largest population in the world of people who are not religious. If Christianity could snag even a small percentage of growth in China, it would reverse its falling numbers. 

There was no need to infiltrate the U.S. to discourage Christianity, it was already falling by itself. Stop its growth in China because of Trump's tariffs and U.S. Christians will wonder why Trump is their guy. I'm looking for pictures of Republican opponents to Trump attending church and praying on camera. I'd not be surprised to see some Democrats doing that also. We might hear Trump opponents quoting from the Bible where it admonishes the faithful to evangelize. 

I've read countless articles by conservatives telling us China is in no position to "win" against the powerful U. S. and Trump the "deal maker." They never mention erosion of political support among rural or Christian voters.

If this were a game of poker, it's clear that China has better cards.

Time to Forget the Christian Nation Thing

Image
While women are forbidden from being priests/preachers in some branches of Christianity thank goodness they are not forbidden from writing and lecturing about Christianity. A great article about the "Christian nation" notion shows us the U.S. is not a Christian nation and hopefully never will be. It is written by a woman with nerve and was published on a very Christian site, Christian Post.  Among the pilgrims were a few that wanted to establish a utopian Christian society. Some of their brethren stayed behind in Europe hoping the push aside worldly forces there and bring sinners to God. Today, whether it is the anti abortion, anti gay/trans, anti immigration or the put prayer back in schools branch there are those who want a version of what some pilgrims wanted, a utopian Christian society. The pilgrims were disappointed. Today's Christian utopians will be also. Here is why. The children of pilgrims did not believe the same things as their parents. Parents were roundly d...

Ancient God, Bel (Baal), the Main Character in an Ancient Play

Image
In a British museum is a preserved stone tablet from Babylon. It dates to about 2,000 BCE. Someone labored patiently to inscribe an entire passion play featuring the god Bel. I reiterate this is a stone tablet, not a recopied papyrus. The play begins with the god Bel arrested by soldiers and taken off the stage. He reappears at a trial in the Hall of Judgement. Bel is innocent but is sentenced to death. In the next scene Bel is accosted by a mob. He is despised and rejected. The actor playing Bel is then taken by guard to a hilltop in a sacred grove. Two criminals are taken with him. One of these is released. The the audience then leaves the theater and follows the actor Bel and his guards to the top of a hill where the death scene is enacted by hanging from a tree. The audience returns to the theater for the dramatic final scenes. The dead Bel is stripped and prepared for burial. On a theatrical hill to the side of the stage is a tomb where the body is placed. A stone is rolle...

Who Suffers from a "Hardened Heart"

Image
Some years ago on this blog there was a discussion about what the Bible calls "The hardened heart." The "hardened heart" was the explanation given for why people like me cannot accept the tenets of Christianity. We are unable to believe there are floating spirits and gods or imaginary places people go when the die. Now, a prominent Christian preacher and author has given us a way to diagnose the "hardened heart." It contained some surprises.  Rev. John Piper, who spoke about the hardened heart, said we can see this in a person who lacks "ordinary tenderness and compassion." He went on to describe the characteristics of a person without the affliction of the hardened heart. A healthy person displays empathy and sympathy. Those with the hardened heart are like stone. Jesus wanted compassion for the poor. The hardened heart discussion referred to atheists only if they are sinners and then it was indirectly. Sin, Piper said, hardens one's heart a...
