Living life under the Trump administration? Thanks, but I'll pass Luce. Not only do I dislike the idea, Yobo and I feel called elsewhere.

He could, indeed. The choice could also suggest that Trump has decided on war with, say, North Korea.

Here is the opening item on my Saturday blog for Saturday.
Trump appointing Bolton like 'pouring kerosene on hot coal': 4 takeaways on the new security adviser | CBC News
John Bolton is the most angriest, hatingest, extremest person in the whole world of diplomacy. At the UN, he was known for his furious outbursts in public places, his banging on bedroom doors at night to shout accusations and hatred at other UN delegates. He is, arguably, the most dangerous man in the world. He has long shouted his opinion that the world needs nuclear wars. He has nothing but contempt for discussion, mediation, and no interest whatever of offering help to the suffering of the world.
He is, almost certainly, a mentally disturbed man.
And now, Trump has made him the chief warrior of the United States. This is probably the most dangerous moment the world has ever seen.
_________________________
Add to that the fact that Trump's support is strongest among Christians of the U.S. Bible belt. Many, probably most, of these people have the old but rarely stated belief that Americans are God's chosen people. Yes, they are. Tough on Jews.
The whole idea of American exceptionalism was born out of this - the idea that, with God's blessing and guidance, the U.S. has the right to ignore international law and to invade and kill at its pleasure. To quote a British Empire song of the same cloth, "God who made thee mighty, Make thee mightier yet."
Some day (several hundred years ago), the Christian churches are going to have to deal with that.

Bolton is, of course, a Christian - a Lutheran. He also belongs to many far right wing think tanks and is a member of the National Rifle Association.

Ever encounter such anti-co operative talkative persons in a religious con text? Even some of the biblical personality attributes ... myths?

IOW, a perfect Trump cabinet member.
Is that an aspiration of Night Mare ... Black Beauty when the sun rises and you see who you're in ABBA way with? Gamba ... a Latin word for the leg you should 've chewed off? Some sets can gather your attention to the pilgrims ...

Oh, and warhawk Bolton, like warhawk Bush, dodged the draft in the Vietnam war by serving in the home guard.

Always amazing how many warhawks of that generation actually avoided war. At least Bush, Sr. had actually put his life on the line (as a fighter pilot in WWII and Korea) so could claim some expertise on the subject but he's the generation before those two. There's something to be said for ancient states where the king was actually expected to lead his troops into battle or at least to be in the field as a commanding officer.
Which means what exactly to you Graeme? Are you seeking to paint all us Lutherans with the same brush.
Did you change churches and i didn't notice?
No. I'm a member of a Baptist church. However, I'm theologically a Lutheran.
That's possible. However, even if he was, what's the point? The vast majority of people in Lutheran denominations are not war-bent nutbars.
Not all Lutherans are Warhawks. My church shares a building with a Lutheran congregation. They are, in my experience, a little to the right of UCCan, but similar too. They are more like high Anglicans - litergical, a bit on the conservative side, at least on the traditional side in style and presentation - but not warmongers.
Maybe Graeme was making the point that this guy's a hypocrite?

So, Jae, why aren't you going to a Lutheran church?
