U.S. President Donald Trump hosted Diwali,
the Hindu festival of lights, at the White House on November 13, 2018.

“It was my great honor to host a
celebration of Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights, in the Roosevelt Room at
The White House this afternoon. Very, very special people!” he said
in his Facebook page.
According to National
Geographic Kids, Diwali is a celebration of:
* In northern India they celebrate the
story of King Rama’s return to Ayodhya after he defeated Ravana by lighting
rows of clay lamps.
*
Southern India celebrates it as the day that Lord Krishna defeated the demon
Narakasura.
*
In western India the festival marks the day that Lord Vishnu, the Preserver
(one of the main gods of the Hindu trinity), sent the demon King Bali to rule
the nether world.
For over 200 years, U.S. presidents knew
how to send greetings to pagan nations and their presidents without promoting
their paganism and without using the White House to host their pagan festivals.
Yet, modern America and their presidents
are changing their attitude from a kind relationship with pagan nations to
celebration of their paganism.
Trump is not the first president to host Diwali
at the White House. Obama did
it in 2016.

Are U.S. presidents embracing a spiritual
hybridism to please everyone?
Last
year, the world marked the 500th year of the Protestant Reformation on October
31. As the largest Protestant nation in the world, the United States under Trump
should remember the Reformation and host some special event at the White House.
After all, no religious tradition was more important for the birth of America
than the churches that were born from the Reformation.
Yet, Trump
did no mention of the Reformation. He preferred to celebrate Halloween. Hardly
a hybridism, because he “forgot” the Reformation, and he gave full room for a
festival of witchcraft.
Last Christmas, he celebrated Jesus, and
included a celebration of Kwanzaa,
a Marxist holiday. A hybridism, with Christianity and Marxism side by side.
Last June, Trump hosted
his first Ramadan, an Islamic holiday, at the White House. Of course, Obama
did the same sort of thing at the White House. Everybody always expected such
paganism from Obama. But Trump too?
I miss the America of her Founders. The
Bible was the center of their culture, laws and spirituality. Americans were a
people 98 percent Protestant during the foundation of their Republic. They
would joyfully celebrate the Reformation, which taught them to focus on the
Bible. And George Washington, their first president, would never use the White
House to celebrate foreign festival pagans.
Today America is a different nation. There
is no place for celebrations of the Reformation at the White House. But there
is plenty of room to celebrate Islamic, Hindu and Marxist festivals at the
White House. At least in this unholy celebrations, left-wing Obama and right-wing
Trump are equal, and equally pagan.
