Granby, Conn.: I’m sick of hearing about President Biden’s deep Christian faith. The media often talks about it when contrasting his lifestyle with that of Donald Trump.
Biden is superior to Trump politically in every respect, but talk of the former’s religious commitment rings hollow in light of his support for Israel’s war on Gaza. I don’t believe Biden sending 2,000-pound bombs to a country dropping them on children aligns with Christian values. Is this beating swords into ploughshares? Is this loving your enemy? Is this being a peacemaker? I think the answer is an unequivocal no.
It’s not as if Biden’s war support is a personal failing he’s struggled with and seeks forgiveness for. He is constantly making an affirmative case for his stance. Pope Francis, leader of the largest branch of Christianity, has repeatedly called for an end to the violence.
I’ve noticed centrist Democrats laying the groundwork to blame Biden’s potential defeat on the left. To be clear, I’ll be voting for him if the choice is between him and Trump. However, this example of advance factional fighting is ludicrous.
Biden is a centrist. His administration is made up of centrists. If he loses to Trump, it will be the fault of the center.
Biden needs to make his case to voters. It’s not too late for Biden to do the honorable thing, forego his ego and step aside. The Democratic National Convention could select a new nominee this summer.
Saving our country from Trump and preventing.
