So about that "EVIL" thing

As a devout agnostic, i do not believe in Christian dogma of "good," "evil," "Heaven," "Hell," "limbo" and/or all of the rest of the voodoo-like crap that otherwise rational humans believe in.

Yet, I hereby admit that I have come to believe in whatever they call "EVIL."

I believe that Trump and especially his main adviser, Steve Bannon, among others in his entourage, are evil people.

What do I mean by evil? I mean they are people who don't give a rat's ass who suffers, lives or dies as a result of their policies. That their words and actions have nothing to do with plain human decency. That they are there to further their own agenda that has nothing to do with the well being of any human being on Earth. That they march to the beat of some horrible dirge.

Yesterday's Woman's March, countrywide and worldwide was marvelous. The "get it." They understand the peril we face. They know that those who are now in power in America are some really "evil" human beings.

And don't let me leave the Republican Party out of this. By not opposing "evil" they become part of it. But then, their policies and their agenda have always told us who and what they are.

So what do we do now? Here's my answer. Oppose this horror that has befallen us. Oppose it in every way possible at the local, state and national level. Oppose the evil that is trying to own us in every way you can think of. Oppose it. Because there's no alternative.
