8. Not a deist either, but I do believe there is

such a thing as absolute evil and a corresponding good. That's a change for me. I was of the belief for decades that evil was just a personification of something people didn't want to admit in themselves. Now, I truly believe it's an entity or force of some sort that we're fighting... and losing a war against. I believe in the end good will win, but there will be too much suffering and death to make it a joyful win.

In the parlance of the christianists, I absolutely see trump as THE Anti-christ. There have been many other lesser forms than him before now, but he is the penultimate "Omen" evil, IMO. We need a dragonslayer for this day and age...
