"Donald Trump may not be a church-going man, but he sure loves to invoke God when it suits his wallet or his ego.

From picking fights with the Pope to profiting off the Bible instead of reading it, Trump has turned faith into farce for his own benefit. The MAGA cult has remained bizarrely loyal to its 'savior' of choice – even as he readily admits he is unlikely to make it into heaven.

9 Times Donald Trump Has Insulted Christians

Trump has depicted himself as Jesus, attacked the Pope, and sold $1,000 Bibles with his signature.

"He has such an inflated perception of himself And he has so many people around him that continue to feed this narcissism and this craziness. I mean, he's got these Paula White and Franklin Graham hustlers that are out there constantly referring to him like Jesus. So why are we surprised that he would put something like this on?"

Trump Cosplays as Jesus While Sending the World to Hell | The Joy Reid Show LIVE!

A recording from The Joy Reid Show's live video

Welcome to Joy's House!

"One thing that I love of what's happening right now is the Pope is not speaking as a political figure or as a politician. What he is doing is quoting the scriptures ans exposing these hustlers like Paula White and Franklin Graham and all the rest of them who have been hijacking the scriptures to pump this guy up and justify all their evil, their wickedness that they've been doing."

"Now the Pope is saying, Now let me tell you what the scriptures really say. And let me just meet you with the scripture. It's not my words. It's not my politics. It's not my policy. I'm just going to hit you with the scriptures. Blessed are the peacemakers, the children of God. Blessed are the meek."

"In a real sense, with Donald Trump, what you have at MAGA is a war on divinity."

"Bernie Moreno on Trump’s comments about the Pope: 'I was incensed to watch the Pope's comments. I think what the Pope is doing is a disgrace.'

'It's a shame that the Pope has made the Catholic Church political. Thank God my mom’s not alive to watch that'.”

~ Eric Michael Garcia

"It's a shame that the Pope has made the Catholic Church political": a line these folks never uttered when John Paul II was pope.

@wdlindsy Students of history will be quick to point out that this is the first and only time the Catholic Church has ever been political.

@Steve @wdlindsy

LMAO sorry. But no. The papacy has from it's very beginning been 100% political. I don't know what history you're reading, but it's clearly not from planet earth.

@TheJen @wdlindsy I guess I need to get in the habit of using the sarcasm tag.
@Steve @TheJen @wdlindsy yep. Poe's Law states that no matter how exaggerated or outlandish your sarcastic takes might be, there are people on the internet that would support them in earnest, so you literally can't decide what's sarcasm and what's not
@punissuer @TheJen @wdlindsy It's happened to me, so I can't say much. And it doesn't help matters that the more subtle sarcasm is, the more effective it is---potentially.
@Steve @punissuer @wdlindsy I read history books for fun, so I guess I'm a bit touchy about it. Haha
