constructing elaborate edifices to impress their parishioners and attract
followers, or to fight abortion, or to influence politicians. Where are the poor
to turn? It would be futile to contact their god fearing representatives in this
matter as they are the ones who voted for the cuts in the first place.
To sum up, we are faced with self-proclaimed god-fearing, religion-believing
representatives who are not god-fearing in any sense of the word. These
people cater to the rich as the rich provide them money to help keep their
jobs. They really should be honest and say “In the rich we trust,” instead of
“in god we trust.” But if they took off the mask of religion, people might see
that they are selfish, duplicitous, and have a downright ugly attitude toward
the less fortunate in this country. I’m so thankful not to be a part of their
delusion.
