So Trump deleted the photo depicting him as Jesus. — When asked about it, he will claim that it was posted by a staff member. However, he will neither name nor fire this alleged staff member, and 99.9% of MAGA influencers will simply act as if the whole thing never happened.

@Strandjunker I grew up with Christians constantly talking about the end times and how the antichrist will be a figure who fake Christians in name only will hail and worship. There were flyers and meetings.

Now, the most unChrist like figure in US history, a known rapist and bigot, who used our tax dollars to pay for holding refugees in foreign prisons - those public Christians are completely silent on how much Trump fits their narrative. Because they are silent bigots themselves.

@Urban_Hermit @Strandjunker Back in 2016, the evangelicals who used to be in my circle (before I left Facebook) proclaimed a commonly held evangelical belief about Trump.

That he's like David.

And that "God uses sinful man to accomplish his will."

That's where the endless forgiveness for his transgressions comes from.

@oli.

Some people think words are for communicating their understanding to other equals to convince them.

Others think words exist to order and manipulate - the actual truth is only applied as a lubricant if necessary.

They're just making the noises necessary to get you to do what they want. Any 'truth' involved is coincidental.
