Apparently, God protected Trump

But failed to protect the two others that were injured and killed. That's at least what I learned from Fox News this morning while at my mother's house. They and the whole right wing are being particularly disgusting this morning with the allusions to "Gods protection" nonsense. One talking head did it and then in the next sentence noted how sorry they were for the dead and injured. My stay was literally 30 minutes of listening to Fox News talking heads expressing their gratitude to The Almighty.

All the times he escaped death in WW1. The several assassination attempts. He thought a force was always protecting him, making him seem invincible. I see Trump thinking in that same light.

it seems TSF will un-clinch that fist and will extend his arm and fingers like Hitler, and his cult will gladly do it.

All are born equal in the sight of God who later expresses preferences.
A god of some but not you is a worthless god.

Or, if you are unable to negate the God chooses problem, then simply accept that only some (say 144,000) of all born are ever of value to God, and you (I) can do nothing to change our personal fate.

So much nonsensical lack of logic.

I’m by no means religious, but this kind of shit absolutely repels me. What’s sadder — people sincerely believing he is God-sent, or a convicted felon taking advantage of it?

where a one-ton crate falls, missing Archie by inches and crushing his lunchbox. When he later credits god for saving him, Mike asks what if god were trying to get Archie but just missed?

After all, Trump acts like he made a Faustian bargain, cavorts with porn stars and worse. Why not point to another more fitting supernatural force, if someone you meet thinks God saved Trump. You might have to explain who Mephistopheles is supposed to be by describing the storyline of Faust.
