What is the Difference between the Christianity of MLK and the MAGA Church?
The MAGA Church prays for God’s blessings upon the current unfair economic system, Dr. King prayed for a revolution in values.
The MAGA Church worships Christ as a powerful ruler, Dr. King saw Jesus in the faces of the poor and oppressed.
The MAGA Church seeks to impose an imperial Christ upon the world, Dr. King sought to walk in the humble footsteps of Jesus in pursuit of the common good.
The MAGA Church seeks to bring glory to the one nation it consider an exception to international norms, Dr. King sought an America that would be a good example for the whole world.
The MAGA Church believes peace comes from law and order, Dr. King believed peace is only possible when there is justice.
The MAGA Church is willing to inflict suffering for what it thinks is right, Dr. King was willing to ENDURE any suffer so that he might live in solidarity with any member of the beloved community being mistreated.
The MAGA Church appeals to our worst frustrations and fears, Dr. King called us to our highest values and best hopes.
Very true. It seems to me that prosperity gospel was always going to align with authoritarianism.
Well said. Thank you.
