What does the future hold for Donald Trump? - threadbans in OP

That's one of the things that's always confused the crap out of me with the, so called, "Christians" in America. They will side with the most corrupt, venal, avaricious, exploitative, obvious pieces of shite that you can imagine while, at the same time, be completely oblivious to the teachings of Christ that were against those kind of traits.

Even Satan hasn't a clue what's going on with that crowd.

So now Christians are bad.

I wonder what would be the response, if one were to say the above about any other religion, would it be deemed hate speech ?

I read it perfectly Tony.

Your silly post proves otherwise.

I think it's more a comment on people who espouse Christianity but then vote for a philandering rapist who is antithetical to basic Christian values. And I wouldn't say that's all Christians or anything, Mormons for example have very little time for Trump and have traditionally voted GOP.

It's largely the more showy and extreme Christian groups in the form of Evangelical Christians that predominantly vote Trump. And probably more a reflection of the more wish fulfillment style beliefs that exists in those churches. Also incredibly focused on wealth and displays of it.

Reminded of that false gods thing and who you worship, if Trump is who you view as a good moral leader then you're in the false gods territory...

Yeah, I saw that a while ago and it clearly shows just how corrupt American, or at least certain parts of American "Christianity" has become. When you have an Evangelical leader calling the teachings of Christ "liberal", you really are through the looking glass.

Of course Christ was a fucking liberal. His outlook was liberal in nearly everything that's written about him in the Bible.

Now, I say this as an avowed agnostic and I, personally, am not even sure that Jesus Christ even existed. At least not in the sense that we are told in the Biblical terms. But the thrust of the man's words and the movement that was named after him are very clear. Love thy neighbour and do onto others as you would have done onto yourself. This is the central tenet of all religions basically.

Oh yeah. The whole rapture/Armageddon malarkey is off the charts.

Based on the teachings of Jesus, yes we get to decide who’s Christian or not.

Is this whining because the Grift movie isn't being Oscar Nominated with 5 billion box office take?

#BeyondHope indeed.

I think there is quite the symmetry between right wing Christianity and Trumpism.

Right wing Christians redefining what religion is to make it fit with what they ultimately believe it should be.

Right wing republicans redefining what republicanism is to make it fit with what Trump says.

He's using Trump's definition of perfect, as in a perfect phone call being anything but.
