Funny how Evangelicals ...

[NanceGreggs]

... always see the hand of God in things like hurricanes, floods, plagues – and it’s always God’s retribution for things like homosexuality, adultery, lack of prayer in schools, etc.

Well, if I were a Trump-humping Evangelical, I’d be wondering right now whose side God is really on – because the Almighty seems determined to destroy what’s left of Donald’s “pResidency”, e.g. a raging pandemic, a collapsing economy, soaring unemployment, and the citizenry taking to the streets to thwart his every asinine move.

Watching videos of Donnie’s Wall being blown away by a hurricane – well, if I believed in God sending signals of his wrath, I’d have to logically assume that He’s sending an unmistakable message aimed at a very specific target.

1. Soup! Yay! K&R. n/t

[TheBlackAdder]

20. God gave humans the intellect to make wise decisions. These folks mock & misuse God's gift.

[rzemanfl]

28. Did you mean to reply to the OP?

The soup thing is a long running joke between Nance and yours truly.

2. The God who invented little green apples and fluffy kittens

also invented poisonous snakes and viruses. And Trump's many derangement syndromes.

God: Hah! See how you cope with that contradictory collection, hairless monkeys!

Some sense of humor, there!

[Grokenstein]

26. Monty Python: All Things Dull and Ugly

All things dull and ugly,
All creatures short and squat,
All things rude and nasty,
The Lord God made the lot.
Each little snake that poisons,
Each little wasp that stings,
He made their brutish venom.
He made their horrid wings.
All things sick and cancerous,
All evil great and small,
All things foul and dangerous,
The Lord God made them all.
Each nasty little hornet,
Each beastly little squid
Who made the spikey urchin?
Who made the sharks? He did!
All things scabbed and ulcerous,
All pox both great and small,
Putrid, foul and gangrenous,
The Lord God made them all.
Amen.

3. Celestial intervention at long last! God is a Democrat.

[Aussie105]

5. God:

Brushing her dreadlocks off her ebony forehead in a defiant manner:

Yeah, well, I can't vote in any other way, so I'm doing the best I can!

[MLAA]

9. Yeah!

[NoRoadUntravelled]

11. Yes! I love the imagery.

[AZ8theist]

21. Good one!!

[Srkdqltr]

4. God sent the doctors to spread the alarm.

He is now seeing who is really Christian.. Assuming you believe

[MyOwnPeace]

6. Can't ya just see.......

Charlton Heston standing there with an AR-15, beard flowing in the wind along with his glorious robes, pushing that wall down with the strength and determination of, say John Lewis, Dr. Martin Luther King, Cesar Chavez, Rosa Parks, Abraham Lincoln, Mohammad Ali, Harry Truman,............................

[CaptYossarian]

14. I still picture Heston in that Michael Moore movie,

walking away from the camera in his loaded diaper. God did that to him for not looking at the picture of that little girl.

That should be how America remembers that murderous bastard.

[Laffy Kat]

7. I'm waiting for a lightening bolt to hit the WH.

I'm an atheist but I'm curious what all religious WRNJs would say.

[CincyDem]

13. His aim was just a little off the night of trumps bible walk.

When he went to the church and held up the Bible. That night, during a thunder storm, lightning hit the Washington monument.

It was said that if you listen close to the you tube video of it...you can almost hear the wind say “damn...missed him by THAT much”.

[Traildogbob]

23. Another strike

Stephanie Miller mentioned on her show last week that the Statue Of Liberty was hit the night before that show. They always say God work's in strange ways when they have no answer for an event. Nothing strange here, she is screaming out loud in our faces. God is telling us she has had enough. Now if she would just hit Fox studios during an all employee mandated meeting, I will start going to church 4 days a week, With 2 masks on.

[tiptonic]

17. Talk

I'm sure all the bible trumpers, will talk to god and everything will work out.

[Mr. Ected]

8. Trump may need to learn 5 new words.

PLAGUE. HURRICANE. WALL. DESTROYED. IMPRISONED.

[hurple]

10. Nah

When things like that happen to the things they like, it's satan testing them.

[soothsayer]

12. Yep, he's Job.

[Blue_true]

18. Yes, they always push that angle.

God is always protecting them, even when they are getting their asses kicked. The lunacy is stunning.

[CaptYossarian]

15. It's such a bad storm,

Trump's backers can't get their crosses lit.

[pazzyanne]

16. Amen.

So be it!

[PatSeg]

19. Yes

This year certainly has looked biblical and it feels like its going to get worse. Amazing that Evangelical Trump supporters don't see some profound message in all of it. Or maybe they'll blame same sex marriage or abortion for all the disasters we're experiencing. They do tend to cherry pick their divine interventions.

[gratuitous]

22. The really weird thing

Is that the countermeasures to the pandemic are in keeping with the central tenets of Christianity: Regard for others, and denying oneself in service to society. Self-isolation, wearing a cloth mask, maintaining social distance are all within the capability - physical and financial - of practically anyone. They are affordable and accessible. The yoke is easy. The burden is light. With the financial backing of the federal government, and working from a coherent, fact based, scientifically valid plan, we could bring the pandemic under control within 60 days.

Instead, we waste time, money, and effort in pointless squabbles that appeal to people's selfishness. And it seems that the leading squabblers identify most heavily with evangelicals and fundamentalists.

24. To his evangelicals/Christians, Trump is so devout

To his evangelicals/Christians, Trump is so devout

[Permanut]

25. The Mango Mussolini cult members always know these things..

For example, Pat Robertson knew that the earthquake in Haiti was a result of a pact with the Devil;

Jerry Falwell knew that 9/11 occurred because of pagans, abortionists, feminists, "the gays and the lesbians" and the ACLU;

John Hagee knew that Katrina was a result of the level of sin in New Orleans;

and Ralph Drollinger, who runs a Bible study attended by several members of Mango Mussolini's Cabinet, has strongly implied tha the corona virus pandemic is the result of the consequential wrath of God for violating Biblical precepts.

See, these people just know things.

[Warpy]

27. Unfortunately, they won't. That's the kind of stuff that made them invent Satan.

Satan does all the bad stuff and god gets let off the hook.

I always love it when some preacher blames a natural disaster in the bible belt on divine retribution for something he doesn't like 1000 miles away. His god has atrocious aim.

But the suckers buy it, every single time. Anything that allows them to hate people they've never met gives them a sick thrill, I guess.
