\nTelevangelist Pat Robertson said Trump was a \u201charbinger of the Apocalypse\u201d and the return of Jesus was imminent. <\/p>\n
\u201cNow we have a man of God back in the White House, Jesus Christ will soon return,\u201d said Robertson. \u201cSure, he\u2019ll massacre all the atheists, Muslims, Jews, Hindus, yoga practitioners, witches, psychologists, Scientologists and alien worshippers, but once that\u2019s done we will have 1,000 years of peace on Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
**********<\/p>\n
I grew up an atheist. I was a Sufi (Muslim) for 2 years. My background is Jewish. I have “practiced” within Hindu traditions. I have been a yoga practitioner for over 40 years. I know people who are devoted Wiccans, and I am a psychologist (don’t have much contact with Scientologists and alien worshippers, though).<\/p>\n

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out\u2014<\/p>\n
Because I was not a Socialist.<\/p>\n
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out\u2014<\/p>\n
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.<\/p>\n
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out\u2014<\/p>\n
Because I was not a Jew.<\/p>\n
Then they came for me\u2014and there was no one left to speak for me.<\/p>\n
