  • Donald Trump, The “Christian”

    donald trump bible

    The majority of voting Evangelicals plan to cast their vote for Donald Trump come November. Their support of Trump is proof positive that Evangelicals have sold their souls to the Devil. James Dobson, arguably one of the patriarchs of Evangelicalism’s war against American culture, with a straight face, says that Donald Trump is a “baby” Christian. If Trump is a Christian, well Praise Jesus, Hallelujah, everyone, including atheists such as myself should have no problem making it to God’s Trump Hotel in the Sky®.

    Even in my hardcore God is a Republican, Independent Fundamentalists Baptist days, I would never have supported a degenerate like Donald Trump. He is a twice-divorced, thrice-married misogynistic womanizer who shows all the signs of being a psychopath. Trump has a long memory, holding grudges for years. He has, so far, shown no capability to forgive or admit wrong, even when close supporters are telling him he needs to do so. Yet, despite all of this, Evangelicals plan to vote for Trump in November.

    And that’s fine, but quit trying to turn a sow’s ear into a silk purse. Donald Trump is not a Christian. If anything, he is indifferent towards religion or an atheist. But, a Christian? Please, stop it Evangelicals, you are embarrassing yourselves.

    Supposedly, Evangelicals believe that beliefs matter. Why, then, are Evangelicals ignoring Trump’s theological beliefs? Let me conclude this brief post with a video clip of Trump answering a question at the Family Leadership Summit about asking the Christian God for forgiveness.  Less than a minute long, this video should end all discussion about whether Donald Trump is a follower of Jesus.

    Lyrics

    You say that you’re born again
    cleansed of your former sins
    You want me to say “I forgive and forget”
    But you’ve done too much to me
    Don’t you be touching me,
    go back and touch all those women you’ve made

    Chorus:
    ’cause God may forgive you, but I won’t
    Yes, Jesus loves you, but I don’t
    They don’t have to live with you and neither do I
    You say that you’re born again, well so am I
    God may forgive you, but I won’t
    and I won’t even try

    Well, the kids had to cry for you
    I had to try to do
    things that the Dad should do
    since you’ve been gone
    Well, you really let us down
    You may be Heaven ‘bound
    but you’ve left one hell of a mess here at home

    (chorus)

    and I won’t even try
