Lmao this dickhead who probably can't recite a single Bible verse.

[–] mostNONheinous@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (2 children)

It’s been proven on live television he cannot.

"the Bible. It's great, you know that? So many verses, so many. Many that I know. You want verses? I could give you verses but I'm not gonna do that. Love the Bible."

-Trump, probably.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

well he does also want to become pope. maybe he wants to multi class but what we really wish is if he dual classed.

[–] Matt3999@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

That's because Trump thinks that he is god

What the ever loving fuck?!!!!

If your god loving right now punch your balls for me. You did this. And for what? I don't see me believing in your fucking Jesus anytime soon when you keep fucking around with my science. I much rather you not take advantage of any science so you can be pure to your stupid fucking retarded ways:

Drop this phone carefully so others can use it.
Cancel every single subscription.
No LEDs, LCDS, chips of any kind for you
No refrigeration for you.
No cars for you.
No glass for you.
No insulation for you.
No plastics or fuel for you... You may burn animals or wood.
So take off your clothes fucker, you're wearing animal skins wool or silk and you're paying for that shit.
No elevators for you, you asshole!
No metal parts of any kind, all those use science.
Prescription glasses? Not for you fucker. Taken off...
No aspirin or meds of any kind. Make some tea you asshole, maybe Jesus will heal you. Cement? Asphalt, nope, you're gonna go chop wood by hand using a piece of flint to cut it and you'll live happy because that's what Jesus did for a living.

No electricity or batteries, those things are based on science... No motors or lights, no compass or GPS. No.mosquito repellent or shark repellent or bear repellent or sun screen or bicycles or telescopes or microscopes. And here's your covid back asks Jesus if he wants you dead a little to the left or a little to the right.

I'm totally fine if you want all that for yourself.

It's really funny to me that all the "Christians" in government literally have none of the values Christ did. I'll bet if I asked them what their favorite Bible verse was they couldn't answer.

[–] huzzahunimpressively@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (6 children)

It's incredible that the U.S. is having this discussion again. What's the point—bringing creationism back to schools or stoning prostitutes?

[–] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

The point is replacing a somewhat transparent legal system with an arbitrary mess which makes everyone that isn't exactly on the politically desired line feel uneasy all the time due to uncertainty of state actions.

GOP politics and agenda are all about control. And religion historically has always been a means of control. Add a more aggressive form of indoctrination instead of education in schools so that you have young people just smart enough to profitable but brainwashed into not being free thinkers who go tribal against anyone against their tribe. Once you have people replacing morality with religion you can alter that religion to match what ever you want as a means of control.

Trump needs a bunch of people willing to believe anything told to then and the religious crowd seems to have an endless appetite for rage inducing bullshit.

[–] merdaverse@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Maybe if they bring back the church into politics he will learn who this Jesus guy is who everyone is talking about. Might be surprised that he was a "radical leftist"

[–] Pilferjinx@lemmy.world 12 points 4 days ago (4 children)

White supply-side Jesus is different from biblical Jesus which is different from historical Jesus.

He means American evangelist Christianity. Which is just capitalism with god. They are more interested on social control of masses and collecting tithe than any actual idealism.

I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.

-President Trump, just this year.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

He never meant it. And all of the cons hate ACTUAL freedom. Meaning, the kind of freedom that includes freedom FROM religion. Not just the "freedom" to select from a set of talibangelical cults.

"Our Country." Is just his White America/Klansmen base. We need that separation more than ever.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago (2 children)

He should forget about 4 year terms. He can be removed at any time.

I'm gonna teach about how church molests everything it touches. I'm going to teach how religion uses "peace and love" as a rouse to get you to trust them, like a predator. I encourage the state to do this

....to investigate and present strategies to eliminate “threats to domestic religious liberty.”

Right, so this will be a group who will make sure that any other religious will disappear, and soon. Atheisrs will as soon as possible be persecuted

Tell me I'm wrong and why.

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 8 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

He doesn't give AF about religion he's no fucking moral centre. This is lip service to his base

[–] overworkedandundersane@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Since when have religion and morality had anything to do with one another?

It's fascinating how the new world now desires to be just like the old.

[–] SomeGuyNamedDave@lemm.ee 7 points 5 days ago

This is not minecraft, so I do not advise the murder of Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
