    It still amazes me that his cult members can’t see how duplicitous this is. Trump is not a Christian. He has never been a Christian, and he’ll never be a Christian. He lumps Christians in with other “losers” and “suckers” who he feels superior to. He only ever mentions religion to get people on his side. He is incapable of believing in anything besides the illusion of power and money, and being told he’s a good boy.

      Trump is not a Christian. He has never been a Christian, and he’ll never be a Christian.

      Frankly, Trump is acting 100% completely in accordance with a long tradition of Christian leaders, from televangelists to Popes.

          That’s a No True Scotsman Christian fallacy.

            Christian: Someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ.

            Jesus directly called out the same behaviors in the Jewish church that people call the modern church out for.

          You deny that there have ever been Christian church leaders who use religion to get people on their side, or who don’t believe in anything besides power and money? You’ve never heard of medieval indulgences, the ungodly riches of the Catholic Church in general, megachurch pastors with private jets, etc.? You don’t actually believe those greedy fucks were actually in it for the piety, do you??

          Ir absolutely is. Christianity has always been about control.

    Churches are a pre-filtered group guillible people, any aspiring dictator is wise to activate them into their service.
