Dear Karen,
Again, your mind is already absolutely made up.And it is already "made up" because you are an absolutist.
It is this straight-jacket of absolutism that underlies your fear.
You have no intention of emerging from the "confirmation bias bubble" in which you live because then you would need to think and not just parrot facile pontifications about FREEDOM and TRUTH and "where do I stand?"
Your fearful obsession with freedom is in direct proportion to the fact that your religious beliefs don't afford you much freedom, especially when you are continually driven to avoid the irrepressible wrath of a vengeful, punitive God.

Unless Truth Is Richly Contextualized, It Is Likely That Uneducated, Ideologically-Driven People (Who Never Learned How To Think In Context), Will Use Fragmented Shards Of Truths To Tell Colossal Lies
How Conservatives Use Decontextualized Shards Of Truth To Tell BIG Lies
Sadly, you have no choice. You MUST believe as you do because otherwise the bubble bursts and then you must conduct real research with the help of ALL your intellectual gifts instead of ignoring them because St. Paul said "the wisdom of the world is folly before God."
As I've noted before, the "wisdom of the world" that Paul is talking about is the so-called "wisdom" of people like Donald Trump who -- to this day -- is a greedy man who loves money.
There is no escaping Malignant Messiah's own words which reveal him as a proud, boastful, arrogant promoter of "the root of all evil."
You know that this is true.
But you won't touch "the hot potato" because then all your glib arguments in support of World-Class Con Man come crashing down.
"The Love Of Money Is The Root Of All Evil" - An Open Invitation To Christian Conservatives
Remember Karen, Donald Trump is delighted to promote "the root of ALL evil."
Such promotion gladdens his shrunken heart.
Your god is a false god.
Why "Conservative" "Christians" Are All Going To Hell (If There Is A Hell...Which I Don't Believe)
Fr. Thomas Merton Explains -- In 16 Words -- Why "Christian" "Conservatives" Are Always Wronghttps://newsfrombarbaria.blogs
Giving Trump a mulligan is like giving Larry Nassar M.D. a weekend pass to an all-girls gymnastics camp.
"Christian" "conservatives" -- who are neither Christian nor conservative -- should be ashamed of themselves.

Here's where American conservatives ran off the rails.
"There are two ways of lying, as there are two ways of deceiving customers. If the scale registers 15 ounces, you can say: 'It's a pound.' Your lie will remain relative to an invariable measure of the true. If customers check it, they can see that they are being robbed, and you know by how much you are robbing them: a truth remains as a judge between you. But if the demon induces you to tamper with the scale itself, it is the criterion of the true which is denatured, there is no longer any possible control. And little by little you will forget that you are cheating." Denis de Rougemont
Earlier Today, I Heard A Trump Supporter Say: "You Don't Know What To Believe." Once Trump Gets You To Throw Up Your Hands, You Won't Be Able To Determine What's True. Instead, You'll Be More Willing To Accept Lies As Truth. This Is Why Trump Lies So Much And Says "Who Knows? We'll See" So Often. Hannah Arendt Has The Details

You and David could save your souls by actually reading -- and discussing -- the above links together.
But you won't.
You've made your bet and have put all your chips on one number.
It doesn't even matter if you must perceive your children as damned if only you can be "true" to your twisted belief in salvation by "towing the party line."
Wishing you all good things.
