  • Several United States senators have called for Roy Moore to withdraw from the Alabama senate race. Moore should pay attention only to those who supported him before the charges were made. Why should he care that someone who already opposed him wants him to withdraw?

  • To the editor:

    Kudos to Reza Aslan for his insightful column on the cultish faith-focused following that has sustained Donald Trump’s presidency. (“The dangerous cult of Donald Trump,” Opinion, Nov. 6)

    Really, has there ever been a time when religious voters have exerted such formidable influence? They seem doubtful of the authenticity and depth of President Trump’s palely professed faith. But all’s forgiven, so long as he pretends to do their God’s bidding.

    It’s no mystery why Trump, for all his bungling, has seen his approval ratings stay close to 40%. That’s about the same percentage of Americans who cling to faith-favored creationism. If one disdains evolutionary evidence to believe that the world, including humans and dinosaurs, was created just 10,000 years ago, then he’s credulous enough to believe Trump’s lies.

    Like Aslan, I fear that Trump and his cult will encounter a day of reckoning. Let’s pray it doesn’t come too late to save our cherished democracy.
