Your Christian leaders told you that Trump was anointed by God to lead the nation.
Have you wondered why God would destroy His anointeds chances of being re-elected by visiting a plague on the nation, one which has shut down his campaign rallies and is causing his poll numbers to plummet?
Your Christian leaders say that God is simply testing his chosen one.
So do you wonder why God keeps sending Trump tests that He already knows his chosen one will fail?
--- Asking for the millions of real Christians who know God would never have anointed a lying, whoring racist who allows people to die because he cant be bothered to do whats necessary to save lives

(43,049 posts)Worst case is Trump actually bringing about the End Times and Rapture-- this is what "those" Christians have been waiting for and are thrilled it could be happening in their lifetimes.

(27,813 posts)I don't believe in God, nor do I disbelieve. The fact is that whether God exists or not is irrelevant to my life.
But for millions of Christians, it does matter - and their devotion to Trump is as illogical as it is hypocritical.

(27,813 posts)I was just pointing out the difference between believing Christians and Evangelicals - who seem to bear no resemblance whatsoever to avowed followers of The Nazarene.
Yeah, according to the Bible, God can be a right bastard at times. But he tends to punish the wicked with plagues and whatnot, rather than undermining his alleged 'chosen one'.
I have read the Bible - and going by memory, God visited ten plagues on the Egyptian pharaoh - NOT on the Hebrews who wanted to be free of his tyranny.

(10,252 posts)which is where people use religion and spirituality to enhance and glorify their egos. It's pointless trying to reason with those people. No matter how many illogical silly contradictions and impossibilities reside in their church dogma, they will stubbornly cling to "faith" in everything that their preachers and Trump tells them.
However when they get carted off to the hospital and a ventilation tube is shoved down their throats, they might reconsider their beliefs -- but I doubt it.

(18,968 posts)Reason doesn't work, it is going to take years to bring these people out of their cult, some will never leave.
And Evangelicals believe in 1 thing above all others, the single principal that guides them more than any other is brutality towards women, they love that Trump champions this brutality openly.

(6,640 posts)an old woman because they thought she was an atheist. So much for freedom of religion, so much for thou shalt not kill, so much for live and let live. I would not want to die with that on my soul!! And I have stories about every church I have attended and it is a lot. I moved around a lot and we were required to attend some churches in school. We would be marched across the street and have to attend a service, never asked what our religious choice was. Never given a chance to say no.
