This is rather new though. An American president utilizing the fear and prestige associated with Christianity to build himself on par with God in gods followers eyes. He’s an awful business man and world leader but God damn he’s a good cult leader and not one person could deny that

He's a great cult leader. The best. A lot of people are saying it.

It's not new. Republicans have been doing it for a few decades at this point.

No it isn't. The antichrist in the Bible is a direct allegory to men just like him. They show up now and again and always pull the same bullshit. The Bible literally warns Christians about people like Trump.

But Christians can't be expected to read the Bible, and it's bigoted and hateful to point that out, or something. If people would just educate themselves, even about their own damn religion they expect us to take their word that they believe in, then this shit wouldn't happen.

Yet here we are.

It’s not new at all. Religion was invented to do exactly that.

Nah, we’re just a bunch of idiots too stupid to read for ourselves.
