      You’d have to actually read the book to know that.

      And people who actually read the Bible (and comprehend it), typically end up atheist.

      Because it’s fucking awful.

      Yep. I’m not a perfect Christian, but I’m better than these freaks that are literally making Trump their idol. I don’t know how anyone could read and believe the Bible, then go follow this adulterous, lying, dishonest, rapist piece of garbage felon…

      Problem here is that you seem to think (or assume others think) that religion is something other than a means to con dupes into giving up power and money. It’s pliable as fuck. It means nothing; it’s merely a means to an end.

      There are a significant number of American Christians that have worked Trump into the religion.

      Many prophesied his election victory, fueled insanity when this did not happen, culminating in… basically he is a kind of messiah, not literally Jesus, but doing his work, and he must do it before Jesus comes back.

          As an ex Christian raised in a fundamentalist household who is now Atheist…

          Fucking YUP!

          He fits extremely well into the common rapture/antichrist narrative that I was raised in.

            I grew up in that world too and he is exactly what those assholes used to rant and rave about while describing their Antichrist. Its funny how that turned out but I can’t say I’m surprised, they are really shitty people.
