What you say is both rationally cogent and utterly true Jim. I'm a UK citizen, but I have relatives in the US who are Christian's and Trump acolytes. I don't understand how they can't see the truth that you articulate with such economy and wisdom. It seems that the God of this world has blinded their eyes.

Dear Jim,
I wrote the following in response to the shooting at the Topsmarket in Buffalo.
With What are we lit?
Paul R Nevergold
With what are we lit?
The bitter bile of hate
Which was morphed from fear
Until we are not recognized
By those who held us dear?
Or is it love and wonder
That motivates our souls?
That we reach out to others
And share our common goals.
The choice is always ours
whether to choose love or hate.
The longer we are on each road
can literally seal our fate.
I think many of us are in between
Choosing one road then the other.
Soaring, sinking, soaring
As we navigate life’s tether.
Fear is the major demon
that haunts our human race
and keeps us from seeing
humanity in another’s face.
“Be not afraid”
Jesus told us seven times.
Yet fear it is that drives us
To commit horrendous crimes.
Fear of want morphs into greed
And other sins as deadly
Which cannot satisfy our wants
But leave us fraught and lonely.
I’m tempted to continue with
The other deadly sins
But I hope you’ve got the point,
It’s fear that does us in.
