Trump protected from attack by Satan

I totally agree with you that some people that call themselves Christians completely fail to understand what Jesus actually says to do (love your neighbor as yourself, etc…). I often wonder if they have ever read the book. Not all of us are like that.

Recycling my earlier comment regarding #NotAllChristians:

TOM THE DANCING BUG: Meet ISIS's Newest Recruits

As a Jewish person living in the USA, it took me close to 30 years of experiencing constant marginalization, micro-aggressions and macro-aggressions to realize that there is such a thing as a non-hypocritical, open-minded Christian in this country. They just don’t scream about their Christianity in everyone’s faces, but, instead, truly practice what their book preaches.

Is this spectacle not jaw dropping?

Trump, no doubt thinking OK, OK, Can we get this shit over with? King me already.
Flanked on either side by Pastor and Pence, eyes devoutly shut.
Omarosa’s face contorted in piety.
Smirking assistant in the background.

All I can think is that:
Trump is literally what all the right-wing paranoids have accused Obama of being for 8 years.

EDIT: As for “what Trump is and what the Right accuse(d) Obama of being”: No, I was going for neither “atheist” nor “Kenyan Communist Crypto-Muslim.” Rather: a would-be tyrant, with no respect for the law or anything but himself, an ignoramus, an angry mass of spleen, a preening arrogant fool, someone who might indeed change the country as we know it (and not in a “great” way), someone who might greatly weaken (or even harm) our country, both domestically and in relation to other countries.

A Muslim Kenyan Socialist?

Christianity has always cherry-picked whatever it wanted from Torah and the apostolic accounts of Christ. I grew up in an “academic” evangelical household and have heard every possible version of their bullshit. As always, once religion grows beyond the faith of the individual it becomes a caustic and cynical form of groupthink.

It is really fun to have the ability to out them with their own god’s words, though.

What? A fake Christian secret atheist?

I think they both are. I think a lot of politicians are atheist and agnostic, probably a greater proportion than in the electorate, but they have to stay deeply in the closet because atheist politicians are viewed extremely unfavorably.

I was surprised that God choose not to suppress that story. He works in mysterious ways.

all of them, most notably Trump himself. Which is either irony, cynicism, or an actual disorder of personality. I doubt the first and hope for the second. And I just keep coming back around to the third, time after time.

People used to be mistaken for dead all the time up until the advent of modern medicine, and occasionally buried alive. That’s why some cultures have a waiting period before they bury their dead.

Or the more direct approach: in British naval tradition, when sewing up the sailcloth shroud for a sea burial, it was customary to put the last stitch through the nose of the deceased, just to see if they twitched.
