POLITICAL
RELIGION

I have a small group of friends who are extreme
anti-Trumpers.  You probably do, as
well.  They find ‘evidence’ of Trump
badness in the work of other anti-Trumpers – snarky cartoons, vile slurs, foul
aspersions, supposed news reports of dubious origin.  They are bright, intelligent, educated
people, but they don’t personally know Trump and don’t actually know any of the
badness is true, and yet they eagerly post anything negative about our
President on their social media sites. 
Anything they can find that reinforces their negative opinion.  Anything. 






So, since, from what I observe, they don’t know any more than
anybody else, their wild Anti-Trumpism looks to me like a sort of belief
system. 





My wondering bemusement (and wandering wonder) is that,
perhaps coincidentally, many of these same friends of mine are atheists, and
when they debate religion they cite scientific methodology to draw their firm conclusion
that there can’t possibly be a God. Nothing is acceptable to the conversation
if it doesn’t qualify according to the strict laws of scientific inquiry.  Nothing. 






So are they phonies? 
Frauds?  Self-delusional
morons?  Posturing idiots?  I don’t think so, they’re pretty bright
people.  Can it be that politics is all reasonable
logic while religion is all unreasonable nonsense?…mmm, that doesn’t sound exactly
right, either.  What do you think?
