The Blind Faith of the MAGA Cult

I’ve struggled with reconciling my current beliefs about Christianity and religion with what I was taught growing up in my father’s churches he pastored when we were young children through our teenage years. These seem to be two very different things. When I was young, we were taught to love, not judge, and be kind to everyone. Love your neighbor, but don’t covet his wife. Not bringing shame to your parents was a big one, as well. What if your parents bring shame to you, now that you’re an adult and they are cranky, elderly racists and bigots? Seems as though it should go both ways. Not just one, where children automatically have to follow their parents’ beliefs and respect them even if they’re horrible people. For most people like me who were raised by very religious families, we struggle with having the same beliefs we were taught as children. When I was a kid, I was scared to death about going to Hell. I shouldn’t have had to feel that way. I was a nice kid. I behaved well in school and had friends of all shapes and sizes, different makes and models. I never discriminated against anyone, other than bullies. I was fine with avoiding them and keeping them the hell away from me. <a href="https://medium.com/bouncin-and-behavin-blogs/the-blind-faith-of-the-maga-cult-bd62545cd1c3">Visit Now</a>
