Hi this is my first post. Does it anger others that religion is playing such a major role in this crooked administration?
I can't comment on your nation's scenario but in my part, I see relegion as the most handy tool to deceive people. Demagogues use it to polarise people on some unrealistic things by diverting there attention from real problems like growth rate and employment.
Welcome! I am new here myself. There isn't much this administration does that DOESN'T anger me. I actually see their use of religion as a benefit - it shows us how widespread corruption is in all religions. Kinda like how all the white nationalists and KKK groups have come out of the shadows. Now we have a better idea of just how widespread and embedded racism is in our country. And to fix a problem, you have to know it exists!!
I have always been personally bothered with racism. As a child living on the outskirts of a growing upper middle class town I learned that my best friend next door was different becausethe color of his skin was different. His parents were both college professors. When another family with a son the same color moved down the street his parents wouldn't allow him to play with the other kids. My parents decided to move to a bigger house in another part of town. They had trouble selling their house because 2 black families lived on the street. After over a year of owning 2 houses my parents sold their house to another family of a diferent color. Apparently our neighbors were now racists. I was 9 years old when I learned what racism was. It's here and Trump and Bannon are usung it to their advantage
Awareness is the first step I always say. But one must act with passion and conviction from there
It's terrible how easily the bigots and hateful people surfaced once the orange one took over. Now that we see how widespread the problem is, it's clear that the fix will take time and patience and energy and must be addressed before it's too late
