Antichristian Trumpvirus

Communion does not approach dawn to vilify our most public egotistic victims and predators. Who would it help to dismiss, with terrifying labels, iconic reproductions of sacred history? But, global legends contain lessons for our interdependent deep cultural learning. What is a Western Messiah, an Eastern Bodhisattva? A wise leader who sacrifices personal health safety enlightenment immediately transcendent empowerment, on behalf of those left behind, poor in spirit, wounded in nature, fractured in mind and body. So, an AntiChrist is self-serving, a worshiper of mammon, a capitalist pig, if you prefer, although this feels unfair to the contented peace-loving reputation of healthy pigs. An AntiChrist would weigh the value of personal and corporate quarterly, and annual, and election term profits more heavily more selfishly more anti-Christian more anti-Islam more anti-Buddha more anti-peace more anti-health more anti-compassion than the value of aging lives most transparently vulnerable to this post-millennial Virus. No naturally healthy and spiritually wealthy and religious person, whether disciple of Christ or follower of Mohammed or contemplative with Buddha or ecofeminist as yin-faced Laotse, could look and listen and feel and think with cooperative integrity to discover restoring fruits of the Holy Spirit and/or indigenous HolyWind in the Nationalist Republican and narcissistic Capitalist Trump administration Competing against multicultural campaigns promoting Love, faithfulness to wealth of health, the value of unprivileged lives, hope for conserving Earth's living safety, gentleness, kindness, long-suffering patience, goodness, integrity, meekness, peaceful democratic compassion. By our active love for Other, for the immigrant, the sinner, the pagan, for even those who are privileged and intolerant supremacists and bullies, are we known as not AntiChrists. None of us can prove by salvific action or fruitful compassionate deed that we are redeemed Christians. But all of us can disprove by unhealthy degenerative divestments, by selfish actions, by pathological misdeeds, by violent and intentionally misdirecting words, that we are unredeemed AntiChrists; Not that I believe Biden and the not green and non-violent enough Democrats are likely to invite, much less multinationally enact, the global healthy wealth Second Coming of Earth's peaceful permacultural rapture.
