Hollow Faith

Call it like it is  
 
Trump supporter
Devout Christian  
 
Two irreconcilable concepts  
 
The Ten Commandments should be familiar  
Right?
A central tenant of your religion  
 
How many commandments  
Has trump violated?
 
This shall not commit adultery  
Ask his wives  
Ask Miss Danielles  
Some affairs were very public  
Do you really think that was all of them?
You know,
Once a cheater,
Always a cheater
 
Thou shall not steal  
Talk to his investors  
The people he cheated building his casinos  
The charity he stole from  
The American people  
cheating on his taxes  
Do you really think that is all the stealing?
 
Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbour  
Trump lies
Constantly  
About unimportant things  
To stroke his ego  
About important things  
I won the election that I lost  
I keep the country’s secrets safe  
I will release my tax returns  
Too many lies to count  
People have tried  
It is a full time job  
To count the lies
 
Thou shall not covet  
A wealthy man  
Who only knows  
Greed
His existence is covetous  
 
Now for you
his disciples  
You have also broken the commandments you apparently obey  
 
You shall not have other gods before me  
You shall not worship false idols  
You worship trump like the  
false god he claims to be  
 
Idolatry  
 
You ignore the broken commandments
because you covet power
you lie to yourself  
about your motives  
which makes you lie to others  
that supporting him  
serves a greater good  
a higher purpose  
You seek your own redemption  
like a prize to be won at a country fair  
 
Is your faith so hollow  
That you would abandon it
for power?
to appease your conscience?
for the promise of redemption?
to control others?
make them moral?  
 
I hope you are judged  
against the tenants
of  
your  
hollow  
faith

Author's Note
I do not consider myself a Christian- I am an atheist. Believe it or not, I was raised in a religious family. I went to church as a child and have a strong moral compass that is greatly influenced by Christianity. I have read the bible - all of it. I feel that Christianity is more grounded in the New Testament than the Old Testament. I find trump antithetical to Christian teachings of the New Testament. Pointing out that he doesn’t follow the Ten Commandments just scratches the surface of his violation of anything I have learned or experienced about New Testament Christianity. How someone can claim to be a Christian and support trump baffles me.
