Donald Trump is a pure pagan; his ethics revolve around power and money, and there is no room in his mental universe for any god but himself. So is Elon Musk; in fact, “Empathy is the enemy” may well be the least Christian statement ever made. In spite of this, American Christians have embraced these two men and their agendas. Why?
Because they have permitted themselves to believe that they face extermination at the hands of people who believe in Christian ethics, but not metaphysics–liberals, in other words. Only pagans, in their eyes, are strong and ruthless enough to save them, and power, not persuasion, is the way to get it done.
This will not end well for the Christians. Deliberately associating your movement with chaos and cruelty is not a good way to win hearts and minds.
