Just effing THIS.

1. Christians: Make Trump their lord and savior. God: Sends a plague.

[Dorian Gray]

2. Would appear that way.

lol.

[left-of-center2012]

3. Didn't Trump once point towards the heavens and say ...

"I am the anointed one."

I think all the right wing TV Evangelical preachers kissed his feet.

And of course he stood in the front of that church holding a Bible (upside down).

When asked "Is that your Bible?"
Trump replied "It is a Bible."

[PJMcK]

4. Don't Christians and Trump deserve one another? (n/t)

[Clash City Rocker]

5. Please don't lump all Christians in there

I was seriously wondering if Trump was the biblical Antichrist for awhile...he fit the description really well, even to the point of telling his followers to wear something on their heads. I know some of you are equating me with a QAnon follower right now, but come on...the dude was seriously evil. If you are a Christian, it’s not much of a stretch, really. Except the Antichrist is probably not that dumb.

7. I don't think you're over the top at all

I’m not a believer but I grew up in the church and read my bible when sermons were tiresome

I had considered the anti-Christ idea as well

12. Completely rational interpretation of their own fan fic.

The actual Bible is pretty thin on details of the Anti-christ, but everything they've said about the anti-christ was embodied by trump.

My objection to your concern here is that the people who didn't follow trump would not be considered Christians by his followers. I've said this before, but the trump followers own the brand. The Christians who don't agree with that interpretation didn't push back, choosing harmony within the overall community over protecting the perception of what a Christian is. I know that offends a lot of people, but I you grabbed pretty much anyone from a western society and asked them; Pat Robertson, Franklin Graham etc. are much more likely to be considered Christian than someone like Jimmy Carter or Joe Biden.

17. Including that he would be accompanied and supported by "Tha False Prophet."

My pick is Franklin Graham, but there are other possibilities. Or it could be a shorthand phrase for all of them put together.

[mdbl]

19. If I were a Christian,

nothing would be much of a stretch.

[AZ8theist]

6. If ANYONE could be considered the Antichrist, it was Benedict Doturd....

Fortunately, I don't believe in that nonsense.....

He is just an ignorant, imbecilic, traitorous ASSHOLE. Nothing more, nothing less.

[Mersky]

9. +1

8. ROFL

[Grokenstein]

10. The BIBLE has been warning about the antichrist for 2000 years. But

I'd wager 95% of the "christians" who voted for him have never once cracked a bible open, except to hide money.

[luvtheGWN]

13. I think the only book in the New testament

that warned of an anti-christ was the Book of Revelation, by (purportedly) St. John the Divine.

Well, I've always thought that St. John (or whoever) was tripping on some mighty fine weed when that book was written. Why it was included in the New Testament is, quite simply, to scare people shitless. There is no earthly reason why anyone in their right (non-tripping) mind should give it any credence.

IMHO, the Bible is chock full of untruths, ancient myths and sheer fantasy, and yet many folks believe it is historically accurate -- NOT!

[grantcart]

18. The Book of Revelation, like the Book of Daniel in the cold Testament

Was written during a time of intense persecution and murder of Christians and was written to encourage believers to be strong in the face of adversity.

The symbolic imagery referenced immediate events and persons and was never intended to be predictive of future events simply encouraging people that in the end good wins out over evil.

It's inclusion in the cannons was by the narrowest vote margin as even by the 4th century it was widely misunderstood.

11. Twice

[locks]

14. I know there are many good people

who follow Jesus but why aren't they calling out all these crazies who call themselves Christian and do the opposite of what Jesus called them to do.

[orangecrush]

15. I've been holding off

Glad someone finally said it.

[wendyb-NC]

16. That' so true

They jumped right on his bandwagon of lies and deception.
