It’s striking how easily symbols that once offered hope, humility, and connection can now be co-opted into spectacles of power and self-glorification. When figures like Jesus—who embodied service, compassion, and radical humility—are repackaged as mascots for greed, ego, or domination, something deep in the soul recoils.
You're right: it is time to return to real values. Not the ones branded or weaponized, but the quiet ones that live in how we treat each other, how we care for the vulnerable, and how we resist the seduction of spectacle.
I recently wrote an essay called The Lost Compass: The Collapse We Refuse to See, exploring how far we’ve drifted from our ethical center—not just politically, but spiritually. We’ve traded the sacred for the sensational, and now we wonder why we feel so empty.
Thank you for naming what matters. Let’s keep asking the harder questions—and listening for quieter truths.
I actually asked his niece on a livestream if she believed that he was serious about wanting to be the Pope. She stated that it’s a sign of psychological illness similar to people thinking that they are God. Then the next day he said he didn’t want to because he wouldn’t be allowed to marry. So apparently he was just being mockingly disrespectful.
I'm Catholic, and I wasn't offended because I realize it's just him needling the morons on the left who he knew would explode over it even though they don't believe in God and constantly trash The Church.
Obviously those in this administration do not believe the teachings of Jesus or the Bible.They are not truth tellers or walking the walk of true Christian values!
"Extinction Level Event Headed Straight for Earth"

🔸️Mental pathology in a president is a public matter. The more severe the mental pathology the less one will recognize that one is even ill.
🔸️Every other job that deals with life or death has a mental fitness evaluation as a requirement, even before one takes the position.
🔸️Without mental fitness evaluations, the public needs to know the danger of certified madness in politics. When dangerous mental pathologies are allowed to spread like a pandemic, an Extinction Level Event is headed straight for Earth. The U.S. could be a shining example of how to stop dangerous mental pathologies before they worm their way into politics but it is now left with "emergency cleanup on aisle madness'.
Dr Hassan, your prescription is an accurate one. In my research Yuri Bezmenov warned that only returning to true doctrine would reverse the takeover. Cults flooded into American society have really done the work of created a disconnected society. And trump Putin treats America now as if we were all in his cult

who knows what he was thinking actually.
Its pretty crazy that we have a president that says grossly grandiose things, and we all have to carefully parse to know wtf is in his mind.
Just imagine that Joe Biden said multiple times he wanted to be pope. He would have been impeached for that.
And he was actually a pracising Catholic, a man who took his religion seriously.
So now, the person who supposedly is the "Christian choice" is a man who mocks religion.
But Trump is a good salesman. that's one thing he is good at.
me thinks this cult expert has no sense of humor : - )

Trump‘s desire to be pope cannot be a joke because he has no sense of humor. What is your opinion about this Dr. Hasen?
Obviously those in this administration do not believe the teachings of Jesus or the Bible.They are not truth tellers or walking the walk of true Christian values!
