Hunting Witches, Donald Trump, and the Age-Old Battle Between Good and Bad Jesus
Once upon a time, there was an English Protestant minister named William Perkins. He lived during the late 16th and early 17th centuries and had much to say about witches. In fact, he was among a small group of “holy men” responsible for introducing European ideas of witchcraft into England. Perkins believed that witches made pacts with Satan, which was the complete opposite of having a covenant with God. He argued that there was no difference between good witches, who used their powers for healing and other positive purposes, and bad witches, who caused harm and chaos.
In today’s world, we’ve got a new kind of “witch” to contend with: politicians. And one politician, in particular, comes to mind when we think about Perkins’ ideas on witches – Donald Trump. Trump’s rise to power and his time in office were marked by divisiveness, controversy, and a seemingly endless series of legal battles. He’s even referred to the investigations against him as “witch hunts.”
But what if we look at this situation through the lens of Perkins’ witchcraft ideas and the concept of Good Jesus vs. Bad Jesus? Good Jesus represents the teachings of love, compassion, and unity, while Bad Jesus symbolizes a twisted version of those teachings that promote hate, division, and selfishness.
In this context, Trump could be seen as a “bad witch” under the influence of Bad Jesus. His time in office was characterized by policies and actions that often seemed to benefit only a select few, leaving many others struggling. His divisive rhetoric fueled an already polarized nation, making it harder for people to find common ground.
So, as we approach future elections and political debates, it’s essential for those who follow Good Jesus, or even No Jesus, to be vigilant against the potential rise of another “bad witch.” We need leaders who promote unity, respect the rule of law, and genuinely care about the well-being of all citizens.
How can we prevent another bad witch from taking the reins? Pay close attention to the candidates and their platforms, looking beyond catchy slogans and flashy personalities. We should focus on their proposed policies, track records, and ability to unite people from all walks of life.
Ultimately, the battle between good and bad witches (or politicians) will always be a part of our history and future. However, by learning from the past and keeping an eye on the present, we can ensure that our leaders reflect the values of Good Jesus rather than succumbing to the dark influence of Bad Jesus.
So let’s join together, regardless of our religious beliefs or affiliations, and vote for those who will lead us away from the darkness of bad witches and towards a brighter, more unified future. After all, it’s up to us to make sure the good witches prevail.
So, yes, Donald, all these investigations and more to come are “witch hunts,” and we, the people, are hunting you.
