    He’s not even really a Christian. The only things Trump worships are money and power. He only invokes Christianity when he can twist it to his needs and to work up his followers. He’ll say literally anything to get people to pay attention to him and tell him how great he is.

    Just more evidence that whatever Christianity was “supposed” to mean it’s now essentially just a tool for tyrants to expert control over people who refuse to listen to anything else.

      “Now essentially just a tool for tyrants to expert control over people who refuse to listen to anything else.”

      Was it ever anything else?

        Originally it was used to lift up the oppressed so they could overthrow those in power and have the tyranny for themselves.

          That’s the story they’ve been telling themselves so long that nobody really knows for sure. They certainly didn’t allow any other narrative once they took control of every government they could.

            The original narrative was that it was intended to get the poors to be content with their situation, but they included too much about being righteous so it ended up with being used to overthrow.
