Last month Trump vowed to defend Christianity and urged Christians to vote for him
“This is really a battle between good and evil,” evangelical TV preacher Hank Kunneman says of the slew of criminal charges facing Donald Trump. “There’s something on President Trump that the enemy fears: It’s called the anointing.”
The Nebraska pastor, who was speaking on cable news show “FlashPoint” last summer, is among several voices in Christian media pressing a message of Biblical proportions: The 2024 presidential race is a fight for America’s soul, and a persecuted Trump has God’s protection.
“They’re just trying to bankrupt him. They’re trying to take everything he’s got. They’re trying to put him in prison,” author, media personality and self-proclaimed prophet Lance Wallnau said in October on “The Jim Bakker Show”, an hour-long daily broadcast that focuses on news and revelations about the end times that it says we are living in.

Why can’t I escape Dune? Maybe the worse novel I ever read except I managed to get into about halfway into the sequel which is somehow even lower.
The only things I like about the Dune franchise
-
The original movie. Most excellent. Almost no religious bullshit and plenty of worms
-
Teasing a friend of mine in IT about how in the Dune universe IT has to “service” the Mentants and clean the tanks of the navigators.

I still can’t get over the fact that the book has extra chapters of explanation of the plot in the back. You have to do fucking homework to read the novel!
Couldn’t just gradually fill in details as it went along like every sci-fi novel out there?

Here, here! I fucking hate Tolkeins writing. Hell even Asimov gets into way too much tellling, not showing. I most certainly am not reading some fucking appendix because the author is too much of a hack to write some exposition between a few characters explaining the rules of the story. It’s like fucking Niel Stevenson giving a very bland and basic-ass lesson in vocabulary at the start of Anathem. Go climb up into your asshole farther, Niel. If I’m reading sci-fi in English I know how to look up a word, and most certainly don’t need you to fucking explain it to me.

‘True’ Christianity was probably something radically different from what survived the filter of initially Jerusalem’s influence and then later Rome’s.
At this point, it’s just a grab bag of “pick your own Christianity” with a high likelihood none of them are 100% a reflection of the original.
I don’t agree. Christianity exists today because of the institutions that Paul built not because of any given Gospel that they had. Institutions always win out over ideas. The “true” Christianity was the church. Even if something Gnostic had worked it’s way into the Bible it isn’t like there would be a major difference in how the religion operates.
You know when religious apologist say “Why would so many believe it back in the day if it was fake???”
Tell them it’s 2023, we have the internet, video, photos and morons still believe the shit Trump says…
People thinking Trump is a Christian symbol is the biggest con ever.
He’s literally the antithesis of everything children are taught in Sunday school. Greedy, cheats on his wife, a bully, not humble, etc.
Also a racist rapist.
Anti-christ is a Christian symbol, It even fits in the end of time they’re jerking off to.
please report this church to the IRS
Something something, this sounds like the prophecy of the coming antichrist
My goodness are these people really this deluded?
Isn’t donny dump like the exact personification of all the christian sins?
Greed(obviously)
sloth/gluttony (fatass loves Mc D’s also obvious)
pride(uh, he’s the best at everything according to him?)
Envy probably
Lust obviously
Wrath. I dunno, anger?
Evangelicals want the world to end so they can be raptured. To them, Trump is a gift from God.
The book of Daniel lays out what the anti-christ will do and how he will behave. It describes Trump perfectly.
They’re dumb bro. Or they’re evil. Or both
“Biden made grocery more expensive!”
Looks at multibillion dollar corps bribing congress
“I see nothing wrong here”
Yes.
At his next rally, I imagine he’ll waddle onstage to Jesus, He Knows Me.
Please stop him
He’s their Lisan al Gaib.
Yeah thankfully that’s the only part of the metaphor that holds… american evangelicals are about as far from a hardened warrior society as you can get…
Kids, doing drug is bad!
Eucharist, not even once.
Technically the antichrist is sent by God also
I covfefed a little reading this.
How are some people so ignorant to all the terrible things he’s done? No one ever fact checks on anything and it’s seriously depressing
Hmm, its seems as if these Christian fellows are quite nieve and easy to fool into believing any old nonsense.
I’ve heard many say they don’t like what he has done but somehow he is still the best thing ever in spite of that.
Maybe it ties into the Christian redemption thing.
That’s a big part of it, same reason they let rapist pastors stay in positions of authority. The entire belief system is ripe for abusing
From what I gather, many evangelicals who support Trump see him as a fighter against a corrupt worldly government and a champion of their causes.
Then there’s the MAGA concept, which plays into their Great Replacement paranoia (the fear that the white Protestant American majority is being replaced by non-whites and non-believers).
The fact that he is about as far from Christ-like as it’s possible to be doesn’t seem to deter them all that much.
Remember this is not a failure of conclusions (Trump is sent by god), but a failure of proceedings (belief and faith is superior to facts and reality).
They lack the critical thinking skills to even begin to digest and elaborate an argument that relies of evidence and principled thinking. They don’t evaluate reality on principles, they evaluate reality on emotion, identity and authority above all else. Therefore, fact checking is not even a possibility.
He was already known as a sleazy conman and the butt of jokes for decades before he won in 2016. How could they not know?

Maybe the joke went over their heads?
my guess is he’s just so similar to the sleazy conmen in American mega churches
Ding ding ding
