The Bible preaches against arrogance (as in the case of THIS pastor) and yet followers of Catholic and Christian faiths still insist that they KNOW that their god wants only the best for us.

They claim to KNOW that there IS a god based on FAITH.

They make these wishful and impossible claims in the face of people dying of hunger and exposure (by dint of societal apathy) on the corners in front of their homes, shopping centers and places of business. They make these claims in the face of California wildfires, and hurricanes that wiped out much of Puerto Rico’s population.

Instead of actually helping, your “president” spread disinformation about CA wildfires and blamed us for not having raked our forests. Finland actually LAUGHED at tRump for his NAIVE AND FALSE CLAIM that they manage to have fewer wildfires by raking their forests.

Mankind has MANY problems and there is currently no “god” on duty that is solving them for us. We don’t have the luxury of sitting on our thumbs and waiting to see a silver lining appear around these storm clouds. We’ll just have to muddle through the process of some creative problem solving for ourselves.

We’re going to have to find ways of surviving the rising cost of living because IT WILL. CONTINUE. TO RISE during this next administration and that will be a problem for a lot of people who are teetering on the edge of food insecurity or have already tipped over that edge.
