Good Christians
Doing what they do best.
Pointing fingers and killing "darkies."

American conservatives discern a sharply-delineated racial and socio-economic threshold above which people deserve a measure of government assistance, and below which people deserve to die.
The sooner the better.
This is the hard central fact of contemporary "conservatism."
Almost "to a man," these people have apotheosized themselves and now -- sitting on God's usurped throne -- are rabid to pass final judgment.
Alternatively, G.K. Chesterton embodies such abundance of generosity that he would not wish eternal damnation on anyone. In his greatest work, Orthodoxy, the Jolly Giant even expresses Universalism: "To hope for all souls is imperative; and it is quite tenable that their salvation is inevitable."

Self-proclaimed Christians, eager to thrust "the undeserving" through The Gates of Hell, are the very people most likely to cross its threshold.
Remarkably, none of them are tempted to believe this.
