You
cannot use 1 Corinthians 1-27 "But God chose what is foolish in the world
to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the
strong" to justify Trump's victory.

| US President-elect Donald Trump |
By
now you have moved on - may be not!
If
you have - perhaps you deserve a spa treat at the last floor of a Trump tower,
pass a stool on his golden toilets or a world tour in his private jet for being
among the many people with gladiator-shock-absorbers.
Reality
check: millions are still alarmed and in fear by the foul rhetoric of US
President-elect Donald Trump during and after the presidential election
campaigns - many or none of which he has still not disavowed and appears
determined to pursue.
You
should be terrified too!
Or
I hope the many of you twerking to a Trump victory isn't only about the
Democratic Party's [Hillary Clinton] pro-women's right to abortion or pro-gay
rights.
Shocker!
"It's
law. It was settled in the Supreme Court...they've been settled, and I'm fine
with that", U.S. President-elect Donald J. Trump is quoted by The Hill to
have said on the issue of gay marriage.
While
this reported pronouncement may have put to rest some fears - lawful protests
across the U.S. is evident that thousands continue to remain jittery of a Trump
presidency: his bed-reddening win left the world markets tumbling - the
Internet also reacted in shock and in disbelieve.
For
millions Trump's ascension to the United States' presidency is an overwhelming
victory for bigots, racists, misogynists, chauvinists and white supremacists.
His vitriolic verbal attacks especially of Muslims and Mexicans - women and
blacks is beyond heart sickening.
It is anti-Christ!
It
therefore strikes a jolt of paralysis to read and listen to a Calvary of
so-called Christian voices literally ascribe President-elect Donald Trump as
"savior" of the "Free World" who would cleanse the world of
its sins: I cringe and "curl up". Not with a good book.
With
a pen and paper to ask you to SHUT UP. Which is overly being mild and extremely
kind: your ignorance is toxic, dire, and deadly and deserves far more
tongue-lashing and ink-bashing. It makes it very difficult to react to your
ill-informed logic with any sort of respect - after your poor attempt to equate
or justify Trump's win with biblical quotations including 1 Corinthians 1-27
"But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose
what is weak in the world to shame the strong".
Don't
be silly; Trump is neither weak nor foolish: he is a U.S. billionaire business
mogul with a great deal of assets which makes him one of the most strong and
influential people on the world stage with ties to prominent world leaders -
possibly those of Russia.
Just
so you know - the nuclear-like challenges threatening world peace, economic
stability and human existence or lives including poverty and hunger, fair
trade, narcotics, injustice, terrorism, racism, unequal rights for all persons,
global warming, ongoing wars and the looming threat of a Third World War are
far dire than your pursuit to push your beliefs and values down people's
throat.
May
be you should be more concern of the drop-dead reality that we all could be
wiped out in minutes without prior notice. And not about who's having sex with who who or
what some women want to do with a pregnancy.
Your
misplaced confidence of arrogating to yourselves some form of authority to act
as God's spokespersons is upsetting: Because I'm still trying to find out where
in the Bible white supremacy is promoted.
Because
more than divisive rhetoric [us versus them] and resentment [darkness] appears
to have won. While you reserve the right to gyrate - you are cannot posit that
most of Trump's vile rhetoric on Mexicans and Muslims personifies the Holy
Bible.
I
can relate to sexism and slavery though.
Your
reason for hailing Trump's win is well within your rights and perhaps
understandable: that the Democratic Party [Hillary Clinton] supports
anti-biblical policies including women's rights to abortion and gay rights -
not with standing - does not make Trump a quarter of half an inch close to
being the-would-be savior" of the U.S. or God-elect.
Don't
confuse political correctness with true character or beliefs: mentioning Jesus
Christ/Allah or God's name on campaign platforms does not qualify one as God's
own elect to be leader.
Else
leaders in my native country, Ghana, are God-sent-sons to rule.
Theocracy
is extinct: people choose their leaders in the 21st century. You do not know
what God wants for the American people - God may work with who ever the U.S.
electoral collage chooses.
So
yeah - SHUT UP!
And
allow people to heal from the offensive and divisive rhetoric from both sides
during presidential electioneering campaigns.
Which
I doubt would be anytime soon.
And
to any one super-anxious about the future due to an eminent Trump presidency -
let me reecho parts of what President Obama said he briefly told his daughters
Malia, 18, and Sasha, 15, about Trump's victory during an extensive profile by
the New Yorker, which gives an inside look at Obama before and after the
election: "...people are complicated. Societies and cultures are really
complicated... This is not mathematics; this is biology and chemistry,"
Obama told the New Yorker's David Remnick.
"These
are living organisms and it's messy. And your job as a decent human being is to
constantly affirm and lift up and fight for treating people with kindness and
respect and understandings...at any given moment there's going to be flare-ups
of bigotry that you may have to confront, or may be inside you and you have to
vanquish. And it doesn't stop... You don't get into a fetal position about it.
You say, 'Ok, where are the places where I can push to keep it moving
forward'", Obama said.
