Is This Necessary.....Who Is It That Actually Laughs At This?

           He doesn't say it like this all the time but often enough that if you listen to Rush Limbaugh regularly then you will recognize what I'm describing here. The phrase is....'talent on loan from God.' We hear that almost every day.....but every once in a while....for whatever reason.....he turns the one syllable 'God' into two syllables....super-emphasizing the d. It comes out......Gaaaaaw...Duh!
            I submit to Christians reading this that this phrase....particularly when comically enunciated....is not innocuous. ...and is near blasphemous. Why in the world does he do this? Who laughs at this? What Christian would ever even smile at this? I need to repeat this from past posts.....I spent a number of years as a new Christian studying what are commonly known as 'Christian cults'......religious sects......some in the millions.....that claim to be Christian but deny the core beliefs of historic orthodox Christianity.....particularly....and in every case....the person and deity of Jesus Christ.  We on the Right commonly describe the extreme man-made global warming scam as a religion. The environmental movement on the whole can at times be religious in nature. I submit this also.....the Trump MAGA movement has at times been very close to a religion more than an ideological or political movement.....with Donald Trump as its charismatic leader......and Rush Limbaugh as his prophet....who to us should be a false prophet.
           Limbaugh's influence......and talent at what he does....is so effective that Donald Trump's presidency not only thrives but may actually be surviving because of him. If it turns out that I am wrong in that Donald Trump is not a blessing on America but rather a judgment....then Rush Limbaugh is to be given credit for President Trump's continued support....for without him conservatives would have long ago demanded an end to the deception and the lying and the extraordinary narcissism.
           I'm long past listening to Rush as I did for so many years.....interested....on his side.....and willing to learn. I now listen objectively.....almost blandly.....analyzing the method more than the distorted and misrepresented argument. It's become pure propaganda in the worst definition of the word. There are no ethics involved as it is totally one-sided....so much so that it's almost censorship as to not letting any other opinion other than....'Donald Trump is great'....to be heard.
           The non-Christian Trump supporter.....as opposed to the Christian Trump supporter...will surely think I'm crazy....but I only ask the latter to think on this.....maybe to even meditate on this.....on the trivial and even comical usage of the word God described above....on the message for the future that you hear from the president and on talk radio....as opposed to the message that you may discern in God's Word....and on the near-adoration of Donald Trump that is evident....and on our dependence....on a man....on ourselves....and no longer on Jesus Christ.....and on our rabid defense of a political leader rather than defense of the gospel of Jesus Christ....or His Word.....and finally to think upon and meditate upon our hope which is clearly now in Donald Trump.....(Ann Coulter was right....."In Trump We Trust")....and no longer on the return of our glorious Lord and our wonderful Savior and our coming King.....not even....sadly to say....on any particular desire for His soon return.
