They all have the same "Creator," so how could they go wrong?

Blind optimism is still blind. It can't see a damned thing in front of its face.

On one side, you have the largest Protestant denomination in the USA enabling someone like Donald Trump. On the other side, you have the largest Christian denomination in the world trying to deal with sexually molesting uncounted thousands of children. Surely that will balance itself out and save the world, right?

Blind optimism and ignorance of reality.
