The Terribly Tiny God of MAGA Christians



They passionately worship a deity made in their own image: white, American, Republican, male—and perpetually terrified of Muslims, immigrants, gay children, Special Counsel reports, mandalas, Harry Potter, Starbucks holiday cups, yoga, wind turbines, Science—everything. Their God is so laughably minuscule, so fully neutered of power, so completely devoid of functioning vertebrae that “He” cannot protect them from the encroaching monsters they are certain lurk around every corner to overwhelm them.



MAGA Christians’ daily existence testifies that their God is a microscopic, myopic coward, who has appointed them to morally police a world He cannot handle or is not equipped to direct and renovate. That’s pretty sad.

A deity devoid of any of the compassion of Christ.

A corporate deity that hates the meek and huddled masses yearning to be free.

A deity that doesn’t smite those who put babies in cages.

"So, you're saying that if I don't want to be God's best friend, he'll torture me for all eternity? Sorry, but I have enough psychos in my life without that one." Walked away while his jaw was working air.

The other line I'm really ready to use is "You and I read the Bible very differently." (Think Hawkeye to Black Widow in the first Avengers movie.)
