A truth that sometimes gets back-burnered:
“There is no authority except from God, and those [powers] that exist have been
instituted by God.”
(Romans 13:1)
As has been pointed out ad nauseum (I heard it again this week), this verse of holy writ
was written in a day when Nero was emperor. This
would be the same Nero rumored to have had captured Christians dipped in oil and set on fire in his garden at night as a
source of light, who executed his own mother and is alleged to have poisoned
his step-brother.
Alongside that track record, Donald Trump’s
history of womanizing, “unpresidential character” and snarky, distasteful
personal remarks is weak tea.
