Christians Are Supporters Of Authoritarianism

The foundation of organised religion is hierarchical authoritarianism. It is a patriarchal construct with an imagined divine father figure at the top. Just below this comes the actual top guy in the particular church. Pope, Patriarch, or Archbishop, as there are different names for this office depending upon the brand of Christianity. In the Evangelical or Baptist churches the local pastor or minister is the head guy for each local church in this more decentralised setup. There may be less hierarchy in these instances but the authority remains with some man ministering to the flock and interpreting the ‘so-called’ word of God. Christians are supporters of authoritarianism.

When Truth Is The Victim

I have to share with you that I am profoundly disappointed with where the world finds itself. I have been around for six decades and I must say I expected better. The rise of Donald Trump has pulled me into a deep concern for world affairs. This turn toward out and out greed and aggrandisement by the ‘so-called’ leader of the free world upsets me more than I can say. However, it is his complete disrespect for factuality and an adherence to the truth that riles me the most. If you cannot trust your leaders, then we are fucked, to put it plainly. When truth is the victim, faith in any future is lost.

Why Right Wing Voters Tend To Be More Stupid?

I could have also used the terms selfish, greedy, disinterested and trapped in the past. Look around you at the current crop of right wing governments in the United States and Israel as illustrations of this. The MAGA supporters are, on the whole, focused on what they can get from a Trump administration and turning the clock back to a less integrated multiracial America. You do not get the sense that these folk are interested in what is good for all Americans, no matter their skin colour, gender or sexual preference. This is why right wing voters tend to be more stupid.

Episode 19: Prince Andrew & The P Words - Robert Sudha Hamilton's Podcast

Prince Andrew & The P WordsPlus The Americanization Of AustraliaFor those of us who have long observed the United States it has been apparent that their justice system is heavily tainted by partisanship and the power of the wealthy to avoid it. Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficked young girls for decades to the rich and famous and, yet no client has ever been held accountable for any crime. We are witnessing Prince Andrew getting his knuckles rapped by his royal family for bringing them into disrepute via his behaviour in the Epstein scandal over many years. American billionaires, meanwhile, face no such wrath from the Trump administration. Funny that, perhaps, it has to do with the cosy friendship that Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein enjoyed for 25 years prior to Epstein’s suspicious death in prison. Prince Andrew and the P words that cost him his title. Oh how the mighty have fallen! Perhaps, true justice does come to all in the end? It will be interesting to see if this royal fall from grace will deliver any other Epstein perpetrators to justice. In reality, it has only been British aristocrats to pay any kind of price as yet.
