Preaching to the deaf

In the little burg where Kadizzle lives he has become friends over the years with two of the prominent ministers in the town.  The ministers speak candidly with Kadizzle because they know he is not part of any congregation.  Both have clearly revealed they in no way would ever support a man like Donald Trump.  Now for the irony.  These men of God have preached for probably a combined total of sixty years to the people of our burg.  Did the message sink in at all. Hell no, the little town overwhelmingly voted for Trump, and the very people who are his lickspittles.

So what is the point. Every Sunday the good children of God sit and listen, but they do not hear. How does this happen? They hear what they want to hear.  The same people who listen to their preacher in the morning go home and tune into Fox News.  They hear no contradiction between the lies of Fox News and what they heard sitting in the church pews.  An old saying is " There are none so blind as those who will not see".  Apparently the same holds true for hearing " There are no do deaf as those who will not hear".   Now Kadizzle is far from any kind of bible thumper, but he does know there is a strong contradiction between what Jesus said and what Trump says.  So up the street from Kadizzle is the church.  Around ten people will shuffle in there to learn about God.  They will walk out believing God anoited Donald Trump to help the poor by giving Tax breaks to the rich.  As the Bible say " The lord works in strange ways".
