The new-time religion

Ed Raymond

Your president is a maroon!

In the first Inherit the Wind movie about religion and evolution starring Spencer Tracy, Fredric March and Gene Kelly, the theme hymn “Give Me That Old-Time Religion” had these lines: “In the old-time religion, the old-time religion is good enough for me/ was good for mother and father/ It’s good when I’m dying, is good enough for me/ Was good enough for Hebrew children, and it’s good enough for me.”  

Donald Trump, president of half the country and CEO of all of it, is filled with hate-and reminds us daily. He hates Democrats, hates me, hates progressives and hates liberals. His White House staff and cabinet hate me, and Fox News and his social media outlets hate me. 

His national organizer of “Stop the Steal” campaign in 2021, Ali Alexander, is demanding that Trump “use his state power to tell civil libertarians to shut up and arrest 500,000, take them to court, and possibly kill them if they are convicted for treason or something like that. I think America needs a penal colony. I do not want to coexist with these people.” He said this in response to the shooting death of his favorite fellow “Stop the Steal” activist Charlie Kirk.

The Supreme Court made it possible for a high school student and “conservative” who founded Turning Point USA out of his parent’s garage at age 18 to accrue an estate valued at $12 million when he was killed at age 31. He owned three high-end homes: a $4.5 million estate near Phoenix in an exclusive suburb, a downtown Phoenix apartment and a beachfront million-dollar condo on Florida’s Gulf Coast. 

By removing guard rails limiting campaign contributions at all levels of government the Supreme Court has made free political speech obscenely expensive and created a corrupt national “casino” where “political entrepreneurs” can get rich by leasing, renting and buying social media and politicians at all levels of government. 

From a salary of $27,000 in 2016, Kirk zoomed to $407,000 in 2021. At last count, Turning Point USA had 500,000 donors contributing $500 million in 2025 — so far! 

His total personal income and salary is unknown. In making millions from politics, Kirk also helped Trumplicans to create a new religion to replace Christianity. They replaced Christianity by refusing to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. 

The central statement of Christ is in the Gospel of Matthew 5:44: “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” 

The new religion is based on the central statement: ‘You must hate your enemies.” 

The “Orange One” identifies enemies several times a day.

The American members of Hatewocracy follow the central statements of three religions: the Taliban in

Afghanistan, Islam in Asia and Europe and Roman Catholicism around the world. 

The Taliban virtually bans women to their homes and requires male escorts outside the home. The Muslim religion controls women through sharia laws. The Vatican bans women from the pulpit and leadership roles in church departments and committees. It also bans abortions and has labeled homosexuals as “intrinsically disordered.”

Kirk claimed abortion was murder. He insisted that if his 10-year-old daughter was raped he would force her to carry the child to term. The New York Review of Books in its September 25 issue carried a trenchant column by Linda Greenhouse titled “Abortion’s Long History” where she reviews the information from four books on abortion: Pushback: The 2,500 Year Fight to Thwart Women by Restricting Abortion by Mary Frissell, After Dobbs: How the Supreme Court Ended Roe but not Abortion by David Cohen and Carole Joffe, Personhood: The New Civil War Over Reproduction by Mary Ziegler, and Abortion and America’s Churches: A History of Roe Vs. Wade by Daniel K. Williams. I have been reading Greenhouse for many years because she is the best analyzer of Supreme Court decisions in print. 
You will learn  Greek women thousands of years ago aborted fetuses by jumping up and down until they lost tissue and were bleeding. Greek and Egyptian women had about 100 roots and plants that would cause miscarriages and abortions. In 1748, Ben Franklin printed a self-help medical booklet with such information in at least 20 editions.

The Vatican men decided in 1869 they should stop recognizing that abortion was not a sin until the pregnant woman felt the “quickening” of the fetus between 16 and 20- weeks. It decided in 1930 to ban the use of contraceptives by Catholics. It wanted Catholics to use natural means, sometimes called Vatican Roulette for what can happen. Roman Catholic women had no say about their reproductive “methods.” They have abortions and use contraceptives at the same rate as Protestants, “nones” and “normal” women do. 

To raise a child to age 18 costs $311,000 today. Abortion is a matter of economics, not religion. 
Reminds me of when the Vatican required churches to have “Catholic” relics on altars. Eighteen European churches claimed they had the foreskin of Jesus Christ in their relics box.

Pope Trump seized the moment by proclaiming Charlie as the first martyr of the new religion: “He is the martyr now for American (White) freedom. I know I speak for everyone here today (the Make America White Forever crowd) when I say that none of us will ever forget Charlie Kirk, and neither now will history.” 

The chairman of the Hatewocrats, Superior Bishop Stephen Miller, exploded his neo-Nazi righteous fury with “fire in his heart,” by saying “the fire burns with righteous fury that our enemies cannot comprehend or understand. You have no idea the dragon you have awakened. (Yes, we do. It looks like Elon Musk.)  Our enemies don’t understand how determined we are to save this civilization, save the West, to save this republic, because our children are strong, and our grandchildren will be strong and our children’s children’s children will be strong.” 

The huge crowd, for a moment in time, smelled burnt sulfur in the air. 

“They cannot conceive of the army that they have arisen in all of use, because we stand for what is good, what is virtuous, what is noble. It is a fight between good and evil. You thought you could kill Charlie Kirk. You have immortalized him.” 

Disformation Bishop Tucker Carlson shouted that “Kirk was a Hatewocrat evangelist who brought the Gospel of hate and subversion to the country. Charlie was deeply interested in getting the right people in office. He also knew that politics is not the final answer. It can’t answer the deepest questions. Only Pope Trump has the solution.” 

Investigation Bishop Kash Patel said: “I will continue to investigate theories and questions surrounding Kirk’s death, but some information will have to be withheld.”

Trump Personal Attendant Bishop Sergie Ger said: “Kirk is a MAGA warrior, never backing down. Charlie was all Trump. When the president had an idea, no matter how big it was, Charlie was always willing to make it happen.”

Transgender-hater Bishop Anna Paulina Luna of Florida said: “Kirk’s name will stand etched in the history besides the likes of JFK, who boldly challenged a generation to ask what they could do for their country amid the shadows of the Cold War, and Dr. King, who marched into the jaws of hatred, sacrificing his safety and ultimately his life, to bend the arc of history towards justice.” 

Propaganda Bishop Benny Johnson was brief but insightful: “God has created a revival right here” he played a podcast tape of Kirk stating: “This (Tuning Point USA) is not just another DC gig. It has chapters  in 3,500 high schools and colleges with 250,000 members. It’s about saving Western civilization. We are the most important organization in the country. You are part of it.” Bishop JD Vance said: “We know we wouldn’t be here without him.” 

And third, killed gypsies, Jews, the physically and mentally handicapped, homosexuals and many who did not have Aryan faces and blond hair. He was creating the thousand-year Third Reich that would make Germany white forever. It could be the Final Solution. 

The ultimate purpose of Project 2025 (the one the Lyin’ King knew nothing about!) is to make America great again (MAGA), make America healthy again (MAHA, and to make America white forever (MAWF). 
Sound familiar? William L. Shirer wrote about Hitler’s roject 1933 in his remarkable history The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. While Trump was busy suing universities, withholding funds approved by Congress, and closing down Diversity, Equity and Inclusive (DEI) programs and liberal arts programs emphasizing art, music, history and humanities. 

Charlie Kirk was busy forming Turning Point USA in high schools so American Youth would learn the Hatewocratic Party’s political platform to make America white forever.

There are many headlines in the media that introduce Project 2025 projects that might Make America White Forever: “Fear and hopelessness”: Study finds one in four professors leaving US south”----“How Authoritarians Target Universities”----“Crony Capitalism Has Reached a New Low”---Now is not the time for universities to retreat from the humanities”----Fascism and the Family”----Trump’s Most Lethal Policy”---EPA tells scientists to stop publishing studies, employees say.” 

  A civilized society where everything is about “We” instead of “Me” requires “a very broad range of subjects, from the sciences to the arts and humanities, with the latter playing an indispensable role,” wrote Robert Maynard Hutchins in 1950 when he was president of the University of Chicago, one of our most effective universities.

 Research by the American Association of Colleges and Universities indicate that liberal arts graduates and humanities majors, the strongest foes of Project 2025, “Excel in exactly the skills employers most value: excellent communication, ethical reasoning, the ability to work well in teams and across difference, critical problem-solving and much more. In today’s political terrain, we simply cannot afford to abandon humanities education. Individuals trained in the humanities know how to appreciate nuance and contradiction, discern factual arguments from fiction, prize empathy, and trace the roots of contemporary challenges to historical debates and dilemmas. 

Humanities indeed matter, and they will continue to matter as humans struggle to be truly free. As some institutions sadly pause, let us prove — boldly and unapologetically — that the study of what it means to be human is indispensable.”

And, to be human, one must have empathy. Empathy is the ability to identify with and understand another person’s feelings or difficulties. Elon Musk said there is too much empathy in Western civilizations. He demonstrates this by saying his transgender daughter is dead. She did reject him as a father when he wouldn’t accept her transfer. 

Trump has just demonstrated how bonkers he is by hanging a picture of an autopen instead of Biden’s picture among presidential pictures. This incident proves he is unfit mentally to organize a two-car parade.
