The video is bombastic, even by Mr Trump’s standards. Just consider the title: God Made Trump.

    I’m not a very religious person. But if Jesus (the human being) could see what his followers have become, he would be disgusted. I don’t know how they can read the bible and say that Trump is the sort of person it heralded. There is a major cognitive dissonance in the miswired brains of these ‘evangelicals’.

      how they can read the bible and say […]

      With a blindfold in the shape of their favorite preacher. You can make any book say anything, if you only read the parts that say what you want.

      That is the “beauty” of that book. It is self-contradictory. It can and has been used to justify anything. Almost everyone reads just the bits they like and ignore the rest. Taken as a whole it is on par for what you would expect from 2 millennia old shepherds. Not some divinely inspired work of absolute truth.

      That’s the neat part: they have never opened that book.
