To The Good Christians Of America

Christians can really lay it on thick that they are oppressed, that their faith is under attack.

 

Mostly this is a lot of whining in the United States when alleged Christians get their panties in a knot that the Starbucks holiday cup is not a Starbuck Christmas cup with with a Jesus diorama running around the side from manger to cross. 

 

Or it’s when alleged Christians wind up on the wrong side of a law suit where a judge looks at the law, the constitution and the reported homosexual affront to God standing in front of them and deems that this is a person who should be allowed to live their life as they damn well please, like every other person in the country.  

 

The thing is that elsewhere in the whole wide world are Christians who know what real oppression feels like.

It feels like the roar of a fire as their home is burned to the ground as a part of governmentally approved harrssment for daring to believe that Jesus is their lord and savior.

It feels like sharp instruments puncturing the skin as part of sanctioned torture for the crime of believing Jesus wants us to love one another. I

t feels like the cold shock of death as blood flows to stain the ground after being murdered for the audacity of not believing in the state approved religion.

 

There are people in this world who are Christians who know what real oppression feels like. 

 

And they can’t get into America.

 

Here’s why.

 

The Christians in America who are scared to death that Muslims might get into their neighborhoods to enact Sharia Law, steal their women and rape their cattle elected a fat fuck of a moron (spoiler: Donald Trump) with oddly orange skin who trafficks in the fear of Muslims might get into his neighborhood because they bring crime, terrorism and goats. 

Goats are smelly.

 

So Trump gets elected and with help from Nosferatu (Stephen Miller) enacted travel bans from predominantly Muslim countries. 

 

And guess what? That’s where you can find a lot of actual oppressed Christians.

 

And this leads into another point of order: these actual oppressed Christians have darker skin than you and me. 

 

It is important to realize that for all of Trump’s blubbering rants against illegal immigration, the big push as always been to lower all immigration, legal or otherwise.

 

The big stick up the ass of the standard Trump supporter isn’t that the brown skin man from another country might be here illegally.  The standard Trump supporter doesn’t like that the brown skin man from another country is even here at all.  

 

Trump as we have recorded on this blog in the past is quick with the platitudes that make evangelicals ready to lick his shriveled impotent balls in appreciation.  Yes, he’ll keep those heathen Muslims out of our neighborhoods while we all proclaim Merry Christmas, even in the summer. But the Trump policies that hurt Muslim refugee are also keeping Christians refugees out if they happen to be from one of the select countries on Trump’s “you can’t come here” list.

 

You know, the shithole countries.

So that leaves the Christians in America with a quandary as they quiver with frustration as the gay barista hands them their Starbuck coffee in a Jesus Free cup.

 

People who believe in Jesus are being denied safe passage to America by the policies of a small minded mind moron that were designed to stop other people who are not Christian and not white.

 

What’s a good American Christian supposed to do? 

 

How about this for a start: maybe ask what is a good Christian is supposed to do? 

Hey, why don't we let Jesus take a crack at it! 

 

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’”

 

Maybe even consider this separately: what is a good American is supposed to do? 

I think there are some words on the Statue of Liberty that may something to add to this conversation.  

 

“Give me your tired, your poor,  

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

 The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

 Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me,

 I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”

 

A golden door? Oh my God! Lady Liberty wants to let poor people into Trump Tower!  

I would dare say that in either of these, you will find the repudiation of  your support, oh good Christians of America, of someone who  trafficks in messages of hate and fear against others who are not exactly like you, with different faiths and different  hues to their skin. 

 

To help Christians, you may have to help Muslims. 

 

To help save people in need of aid, to rescue people from danger over there, they may have to come over here. 

 

And if the good Christians of America cannot reconcile their hearts and minds to those two points, I would suggest that it stands in repudiation of  your faith and of your allegiance to what America stands for.
