The Gospel of the Left: How They Weaponize Christianity to Justify Political Violence

The attempted assassination of Trump administration officials by Cole Allen highlights the dangerous intersection of political radicalization and the perversion of Christian theology. Allen’s manifesto attempted to weaponize scripture, specifically citing Matthew, Mark, and Luke to provide a moral justification for violence, based on the false premise that Trump is not a legitimate authority. This incident reflects a broader trend where progressive political movements hijack religious language to validate ideological objectives, as seen in the rhetoric of figures like James Tallarico and Raphael Warnock. By stripping scripture of its proper context and historical hermeneutics, these movements attempt to provide divine sanction for socialist policies, abortion, and other progressive causes. True Christian doctrine requires submission to biblical authority rather than the manipulation of faith to serve political grievances or justify acts of violence.
