Bear with me peeps. So, In my humble opinion, Donald Trump is the Beast who is going to usher in the Antichrist. I'm certain of it. I'm not a religious wingnut, but I can find no other reason for this man's existence. He's like a cockroach that nothing can kill. He has caused nothing but confusion, he's divided the country, no one knows who or what believe and this has left the American people divided beyond repair. This confusion has caused many people to check out. It's become too insane. We, the people, have no power to change anything and Trump seems to be taking the entire country on the expressway to Hell. His supporters, of course, believe he is the Second Coming. Those wingnuts believe everything he says. He's being persecuted, and his First Amendment Rights are being violated. He's being martyred and these Christians are going to vote for him no matter what because THEY DON'T CARE WHAT HE's DONE!
I was watching the news the other night and they were interviewing Trump supporters and one woman was asked what she thought would happen if he didn't win the nomination. Her answer? Civil War. And she was serious.
These Christian Trump supporters are now saying that the Beatitudes, Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, one of the most profound of the Gospels are now calling Jesus Christ "liberal" and "weak." WHAT. THE. ACTUAL FUCK?
Christianity Today Editor: Evangelicals Call Jesus “Liberal” and “Weak”
The editor-in-chief of Christianity Today is warning that evangelical Christianity is moving too far to the right, to the point that even Jesus’s teachings are considered “weak” now.
Russell Moore resigned from the Southern Baptist Convention in 2021, after years of being at odds with other evangelical leaders. Specifically, Moore openly criticized Donald Trump, whom many evangelical Christians embraced. Moore also criticized the Southern Baptist Convention’s response to a sexual abuse crisis and increasing tolerance for white nationalism in the community.
I'm scared. I really believe that something bad is going to happen. If Trump does not win the nomination I'm afraid there will be blood in the streets that will make January 6 seem like a family picnic.
And I just learned that Trump supporters have made the names and addresses of the Grand Jury jurors public and they've threatened to kill them. Apparently, this is legal in Georgia, which completely blows my mind. So now these jurors will have to live in fear of not knowing whether any of these crazies are going to make good on their threats. Remember when those four idiots tried to kidnap Govenor Whitmer? What is happening to this country?!
These so-called Christians who are going to support Trump even unto death are not reading the same bible I am. There are countless scriptures and admonishments from Jesus Christ warning people about "wolves in sheep's clothing" and false prophets speaking lies. Yet, these Evangelicals are incapable of making the connection. They obviously are not reflecting or thinking. God was clearly speaking about someone like Donald Trump! A lying shyster! Mind-boggling.
So let me explain where I'm coming from here. I am not a holy roller, but I DO know my scripture. Mainly because I needed to educate myself in order to debate these Evangelicals who hate Catholics, of which I am one. Not one of the best by any means, but Catholic nonetheless, even though I no longer practice.
I've learned all of Evangelical Christian's talking points and how to fight back, if you will, and defend my point of view with regard to scripture. And I am proud to say that I have stumped quite a few of them. But let me also make this crystal clear. I do not debate in order to PROVE that I am right and THEY ARE WRONG. I debate in order to illustrate how the Bible can be misconstrued, or misinterpreted. Scripture can be twisted. I also do not believe that the Bible is the infallible word of GOD and that everything in it is factual. It is full of allegory and metaphor. I also am not a person who hates anyone (except Trump). I don't hate gays, or transgender individuals, or immigrants, because I have known and loved all, many of whom were my family and I've always had a tremendous amount of empathy for people who came out back in the 1970s and the courage that that took because back in the 1970's, this shit was REAL. It wasn't like it is now. People are much more accepting and less judgmental. But back in the day, you literally did not know if your family was going to disown you for the rest of your life. Then add in the fact that you're from a Mexican-American family! You can imagine how difficult this had to be. Those pains go deep.
GOD BLESS MY DAD. One day we were at a red light and a Chick-fil-A was on the corner and there were a billion cars in line. My dad asked me "What is that place with all the cars?" I said "that's Chick-fil-A Daddy. I've never eaten there because they don't like gay people." My dad: "WELL THEN FUCK THEM!!!!!" which totally cracked me up.
So, not that it will change anyone's mind, but if you happen to know any of these Christians, you might want to show them this video of a Pastor who is a TRUE CHRISTIAN speaking about our country today.
