Cult or Willful Ignorance

Excessive admiration for a particular person or thing.

Cult

His followers declare him God's chosen one while sin, darkness, and degradation obviously drips from him.

Cult

Evidence of the leaders wrong doing is being revealed over and over again...yet blinded followers don't believe it.

Cult

When the leader is finally held accountable for his many wrong doings, his blind followers wring their hands and cry their leader is being persecuted.

Cult

If it's not a cult, it's willful ignorance: A decision to intentionally ignore and avoid all facts and truths that are in opposition to what they choose to believe. 

I learned early on that you can't have a rational or meaningful discussion with someone who's in a cult or someone who's willfully ignorant. 

I'll just put this out there: Willful ignorance is not something to wear proudly.

Just keepin' it real...

It Yet Lives

Christians don't rejoice at the misfortunes of others.

So why are so many Christians rejoicing now that Trump has been indicted on charges related to January 6th?

That day was about more than a man. Despite folk trying to downgrade that day to a peaceful gathering in retrospect, it was a day of horror that will never be wiped out of our history. 

What it simply boils down to is a coup was attempted here in the United States of America because Trump did not want to step down from being President.

Trump's indictment signals that the heart of our democratic republic is still beating! In spite of it all, our democracy yet lives and her legal system is capable of functioning as intended. How should it function? As if NO ONE is above the law, applying justice equally to all.

I'm grateful to Bill Barr, Mike Pence, Mark Meadows and all of the other Republicans who gave testimony and evidence to make Trump's indictment possible. I just wish they had been honest with the American people from the very beginning...

Just keepin' it real...
