It's not easy being the judge of the whole universe or the mind of God

I've just read an article by Brandon Ambrosino who doesn't like President Trump for a number of reasons, and hopes he doesn't get into heaven. Yet, his autobiography sounds like the most pompous, arrogant liberal Christian who has decided he can take on Jesus' job of judgment. He needs to look in the mirror.
"I’m a theological ethicist currently teaching at Villanova University. I am also an award-winning journalist and essayist whose work has appeared in a wide range of publications, including POLITICO, The Atlantic, The New York Times, Globe & Mail, BBC, Playboy, The Economist, Commonweal, and the Boston Globe. I am also a columnist for Christian Century. My first book — Is It God’s Will? Making Sense of Tragedy, Luck and Hope in a World Gone Wrong — will be published in September by Morehouse Academic."
I quickly glanced at a few interviews and learned he was raised Church of God Cleveland TN (Pentecostal), attended Liberty (Baptist) and is now a Catholic but married to a man. The Trump assassination attempt a year ago bothered him--in a sort of childlike way--like why did God save Trump and not the firefighter since he thinks Trump is bad. And this man teaches theology and ethics! I wonder if he's pondered why God allowed 100 million people to die from socialism/Communism in the 20th century and will he ever speak up about it, or will he just bash Trump?
