The newer Messiah represents our current crop of Christians very well.

But have read the Bible multiple times(along with many other religious texts) and it has always astonished me that evangelicals have never recognized Trump for what he is, the antichrist. He really does fit the bill perfectly. How come I, an agnostic, can recognize this, but they, the devoutly religious Christians, don't?

This truly baffles me.

Manson Family, Scientologists, Heaven's Gate Cult, NXIVM, etc, etc. Depends on how he wants to activate them: suicide? crimes? political crimes? All three? All he has to do give the word.

Scary to think that trump is a dangerous leader of people loyal only to him.
