For many self-identified Christian Crusaders, mostly men, the Rape of a woman, should it happen, is a gift from Jesus. These insecure men believe that women are not just chattel, but a lesser form of life, one in which men with the pat on the back from Jesus, must teach, to understand the power of the Lord. Along with the Christian Taliban, the guys who consider having an illness a form of religious weakness, or being a homosexual an attack on the masculinity of Jesus, the Rape is a gift from God goons, care less about the female more about the fetus, and then when the fetus breathes it first bit of polluted air, will say, now that baby is YOUR responsibility.
“I feel like the word shatter.” “Nothing changes instantaneously: in a gradually heating bathtub you'd be boiled to death before you knew it.” “Ignoring isn't the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.”“Whatever is silenced will clamor to be heard, though silently.”The Handmaid’s Tale quotes/by Margaret Atwood.
For the women living in the Christian American Nation States, whose legislatures are compromised by Evangelical Jihadists, like Texas, Kansas, Georgia and soon to be Missouri and Louisiana; places where Incest, Rape are considered a gift from God, and a prize you receive as a female, your rights as a human, as an American who happens to be female, are diminishing. To even imagine female legislators who agree with their male counterparts is frightening, knowing you will be faced with imprisonment, maybe death if decide not to be forced to take on their perceived the beauty of Motherhood, provided to by Jesus, or your father, brother, grandfather, uncle, or the guy thinks his penis will fit perfectly into your body! You must remain pregnant, it is NOT your choice to bring a fetus, not created from love but from brute force to term. But then for the women of the Christian Jihadist States of America, it will SUDDENLY be your responsibility to feed, clothe, educate and nurture that child because Jesus only is concerned you carry the seed. Pull yourselves from your own bootstraps after that!
“Blessed be the fruit,” is the common greeting, which elicits the answer, “may the Lord open.” The expected farewell, “Under his eye.” Any expressions of positivity are met with, “Praise be.” When Offred meets the man whose children she's assigned to bear, he says, ”Nice to meet you.”The Handmaid’s Tale quotes/by Margaret Atwood. Ms. Atwood, tried to warn us of an impending time bomb, a device no resurrected by Christian’s acting as if they were ISIS, demanding that they and only they know the will of the Lord. This nation has disregarded the system of checks and balances and is ready to cut the last piece of twine that once stated that there is a divide between church and state. Just one more piece of Trump’s poison oozing into the bloodstream of a nation gone wild!
