When I was in elementary school, I enjoyed
listening to shortwave radio. I could hear some weird stuff. One transmission I
heard was the English language service of RNK, Radio North Korea. This was back
when the original communist dictator, Kim Il-Sung, grandfather of the current
dictator, was in power. The female commentator said that Kim Il-Sung was “a genius of art, a genius of science, a
genius of politics, a torch to light the darkened pathways of modern times.”
Of course, no human could be all of those things, and all of us outside North
Korea knew he was none of these things. I marveled that anyone could believe
such statements.
But there are many Americans who believe
such things today about Donald Trump.
Trump continues to say things about
himself that no human should ever say because they are blasphemy. One website
collected fifteen examples of Trump calling himself a genius or saying that he
knew more about every aspect of the economy (jobs, banks, etc.) than anyone
else.
Trump also referred to himself as having “great and unmatched wisdom.”.
Even some Republicans are now beginning to
question their blasphemous dedication to and worship of Trump. But I wonder if most
Republicans will renounce Christianity and continue to worship Trump.
I have discussed Trump’s numerous blasphemies
with others who know a lot about religion and history, and they agree with my
assessment.
