Sunday Morning Post (V.3, #9): At The Feet of the Idol

Editors Note:  In today’s performance, the part of the Burning Bush is played by Ronald Reagan.

And lo, it came to pass that Moses was compelled to leave his people and climb Mt. Horeb.  He saith to them, “Chill out Israelites.  I shall return.”

And it was on Mt. Horeb (later Mt. Sinai) that Moses received the Ten Commandments from the Almighty God.

Upon his return to the people, he saw that they had constructed a Golden Trump statue and they bowed in prayer at its base.

This so angered Moses that he cast the stone tablets at the idol and both were destroyed in a pyrotechnic display of smoke and fire.

And lo, Cecil B. DeMille yelled “Cut, “Print it”, and everyone went home for the day.

 

 

And now the most fervent of God’s believers are placing more confidence in the fake idol that is Donald Trump than their belief in God itself.   Is this another example of “Forgive them, Father, for they know what they do”?  Or perhaps it’s time we stopped leaning on this defense.

In any case, the evangelical community needs to take a hard look at what they’re doing.  They won’t do this, but the rest of us should not give up trying to pull them back from their alternative reality.

(Thank you for reading.  Where is Moses when you need him?)
