2 points to consider. 1. He said that empathy is the weakness of Western civilization and his cronies are saying that empathy is a sin. 2. He posted a meme comic saying that unless you're capable of great violence that you're basically harmless and thus easily ignored.
This is what he wants.
The hypocrisy and manipulation made it impossible to worship with them next to me.
I graduated from oral Roberts University and was full in. But the leaders of the small church were more interested in holding power rather than helping people. Fox News had an article with a headline stating blue eyed people were smarter than brown eyed. Being Latino, I was annoyed at the article and started to question why I even thought that the right wing evangelical establishment cared about me. I was just used for the financial support and votes.
It's like I'm eating with an egg beater.
