A letter to Christians before the election
To the Editor:
If you are a Christian who feels that Trump is “God’s chosen” here are a couple things to think about:
“When religion is placed at the service of a political party, it corrupts both. To claim that one political figure uniquely represents God’s will is a form of anti-Christian idolatry. To elevate one set of spiritual beliefs above another and do it by force of law removes a non-negotiable tenant of evangelical faith—free will.” — Reverend Rob Schenck
“You can safely assume you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do.” — Anne Lamott
