Osler's Razor

I've been doing a lot of driving in rural areas, and my new car doesn't have satellite radio, so I've been listening to a whole bunch of rural Christian radio. And it is terrifying.

On station after station, what I heard hosts and commentators talking about more than anything was Donald Trump. They were to the point now where the faith and politics have completely merged. On station after station, I heard preachers talking about the "divinely appointed" president.

Some of them seemed to be pushing Trump to go even further than he has. One man (they are almost all men) was arguing that the Bible shows that Trump has not only the "right" but the duty to make war on Muslim countries (no matter, apparently, that the Constitution gives the power to declare war to Congress).

It's scary out there. And what's at stake is the integrity of the faith.
