Political analysts and observers were outraged on Wednesday after a video of President Donald Trump's faith advisor comparing him to Jesus. Trump hosted an Easter event at the White House with evangelical groups. The event was supposed to be private, but Trump's speech was posted on the White House'...

    If Trump isn’t roleplaying the Antichrist from the Book of Revelation, then I don’t know what he’s doing.

      He just needs to get these meteorites and locusts going and it’s pretty much perfect.

        Well, Artemis II can do a flyby of the Alien Space Nazi Moonbase on the dark side and that will get the meteorites going. I’m not sure how he’ll manage the locusts. Genetically modified grasshoppers?

          Fun fact, there are only two continents without swarming locusts. Antarctica and North America.

          The Rocky Mountain Locust went extinct sometime around 1900, which was some 30 years after the largest swarm ever recorded for any species of locust.

        To be honest, that’s kind of an unimaginative reading.

        Nothing says the censers being thrust down from heaven have to be meteorites. They could be orbit-to-surface missiles.

        Likewise, the “locusts” described aren’t necessarily an insect infestation. They might just as easily be drone swarms.

        You know, if we’re taking the book of revelation seriously, at least…

    Remember: both guys who almost killed Trump weren’t some “libruls”— they were far-right nutjobs who thought Trump wasn’t extreme enough. If Trump keeps poking this bear, they will try again.

      He promised to get rid of the brown people. And they were told to follow him. That’s it for a lot of them. Blindly following someone because their preacher says to is ingrained in a lot of evangelicals especially.

      But also a lot of them believe he was sent by God to kick-start the end times and trigger the Rapture. That’s why a lot of the politicians especially are behind him, and why Biden treated him with kid gloves. You’d be amazed how many statesmen in both the Republican and Democratic Party legit believe in all that ‘end times we go to Heaven and all the disgusting plebeians go to hell’ bullshit.

        Plus we can say MERRY CHRISTMAS again, everyone!

        No one said that under Obama and Biden, if you remember. In fact, I remember it being explicitly forbidden, with lots of liberal tattletales just waiting to take down names and report xtians to the authorities so that they could be stripped of all their assets and thrown into prison, just for acknowledging the baby Jesus!

        It was very dark times for xtians. You have no idea the cross they bore, living as xtians in Murica under the Democrat (sic) Party!

      Jesus existed in the historical record, but his life is mythologized. We can only rely on interpretations such as this to help give us an understanding of what his life may have been like.

        There were a lot of cults in that region in that time period. Jesus may well be an amalgamation of multiple cult leaders.

      Maybe if you were Catholic, Episcopal, Unitarian, Christian Anarchist, etc. you would hold that view. Evangelicals live in an upside-down world and don’t even consider the aforementioned denominations as Christians. If you openly held that view in an Evangelical congregation I would worry for your safety.
