2. To Evangelicals, Trump is the chocolate cream pie vs. broccoli.

3. Everything that touches Trump dies.

Just sayin'...

[smirkymonkey]

4. This is beyond fucked up.

[Botany]

5. For the love of dog tell me this is a fake.

Trump is as far away from the teachings of Jesus (if you buy that stuff) as you can get.

[RKP5637]

6. Sadly, no. As far as I can tell it is not fake. It's a complete WTF!!! And,

these damn fools can't seem to comprehend how they are being used. The guy is a con artist ... and they are stooges!

Trump's new White House Pastor shills the "prosperity bible" crap.

[RKP5637]

11. My late Aunt and Uncle who really did "walk the walk" would be horrified by that gathering

Their work lives on in a food pantry in S.W. Ohio.

9. They need to go

and look at what Judas had been like - maybe they will see the light!

[Voltaire2]

10. They want any asshole who will appoint theocratic judges.

If the chosen person is a horrible human: "god(s) work in mysterious ways".

Religion is irrational to start with, so expecting rational behavior from religious people is foolish. Actually expecting rational behavior from anyone is probably foolish, it is just more foolish in this case.

12. It's not about religion, it's all racism

The evangelicals arose during the split between Northern and Southern factions of the major denominations due to the split over slavery. The Southern Baptists and the evangelicals are still all racists. They make a show of saying the things they're supposed to say in public. In private, they still favor things like the n-word, faggot, and one I heard before I escaped the South "Sand n-word" to describe Arabic people. They only love the Jewish people when they are returning to Israel to bring about the Rapture. They don't want them in their neighborhoods anymore than anyone else who isn't a WASP.

15. Yep, burning crosses and praise the lord while they spread hatred and make nooses! n/t

[Hotler]

23. It is not about racism alone. It is about religion, their religion, and their religion alone.

These people are Dominionist/fascist. Their goal is to make the world bow down to their beliefs. The Muslims have Shira law, these folks have Christian sharia ("Charia&quot . The United States is the Dominionists' stronghold and seizing control of the US is the movement's first major objective. Dominionists are the direct, Christian equivalent of Islamists demanding Sharia law.

14. My favorite response to these Bible thumpers

is a scene from the TV show The West Wing where President Bartlet tears one of them a new one.

The evangelical crowd are all so ignorant, so self-righteous, and so judgmental.

And that malignant narcissist? Sociopath? Pathological liar? Con man? Adulterer? I bet he was creaming his pants to be the center of attention of all that laying on of hands.

16. The writer could be more specific.

The majority of Christians voted for Trump in 2016, and much of his support today is frankly Christian in nature - many Christian churches are preaching that support for Trump is essentially a tenet of their Christian faith.

Non-Christians, on the other hand, voted for Clinton by wide margins, including non-Christian religious people.

18. A well placed lightning bolt would

Get rid of ALL these FALSE PROPHETS!!

[malaise]

19. This is actually a gathering of snake oil salesmen and women

It's all fake made for TV bullshit - notice how he put the two black idiots up front.
Seriously this is very bad comedy.

[Skidmore]

20. I'm certain that this is one of the few times

that he feels adored and godlike.

21. American Grifters Association meets in DC. Update at 11.

Touch my mushroom, touch my mushroom, somebody touch my mushroom. Notice how the women have bigger hands than he does.
