Pat Robertson - King Tut's Grandpappy -- says he had a vision of Donald Trump seated at the Right hand of the Lord:
"Some Evangelical Christians are beginning to hold presumed Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in high esteem. Several Evangelicals, including walking gaffe former Rep. Michelle Bachmann, already believe Trump, the thrice married, casino magnate, who appeared on the cover of Playboy, has been ordained by God.
"But televangelist Pat Robertson has taken it one step further. He believes Trump is on par with Jesus Christ.
God came to me in a dream last night and showed me the future, said Robertson. He took me to heaven and I saw Donald Trump seated at the right hand of our Lord.
"According to Raw Story, Robert Jeffress, pastor of First Baptist Church in Dallas, a 12,000-member megachurch, said Trump would make a better candidate than Jesus."
You know, I was debating an evangelical professor on NPR, and this professor said, Pastor, dont you want a candidate who embodies the teaching of Jesus and would govern this country according to the principles found in the Sermon on the Mount? said Jeffress. I said, Heck no. I would run from that candidate as far as possible, because the Sermon on the Mount was not given as a governing principle for this nation.
When Im looking for somebody whos going to deal with ISIS and exterminate ISIS, I dont care about that candidates tone or vocabulary, I want the meanest, toughest, son of a you-know-what I can find and I believe thats biblical, said Jeffress."
You....Just......Can't.....Make.....This.....Shit.....Up!!!!!
Edited to add:Well, I guess you can make this shit up!!! I've been informed that The Business Standard News is a satirical site.
Sorry about that, kids; but, you gotta admit, it's getting harder and harder to tell satire from reality. These days, 'reality' is weirder than satire.

Talk about vanity...these crying TV preachers, are right up DTs butt. He hadn't been religious in years , if ever, but now he has a new gig to promote his oh, so religious... vanity.

Dear whitejesus, , please send the long awaited rapture for this bunch of fakechristiansclowns...asap, pronto, straight away, no time to waste, ...ahora NOW! Its okay they've been praying for the Apocalypse and rapture. Please treat them like they treated native people, black people, Mexicans, Latinos, Asians, lgbt, Jews Muslims, well everyone nonwhite really. .. Please locke them away somewhere in the universe, the black hole would be kind of nice, .place faraway for all eternity.. Then maybe we can get some peace and quiet for gods sake.

(16,423 posts)Yeah, you gotta be an Evangelical to denounce the most important public speech and sermon of Jesus Christ himself... and still consider yourself a follower of Jesus Christ.

They are disciples of Ayn Rand and Republican 'Jesus'.

Hmmm...how well has that worked out through history?

(111,237 posts)Sometimes I wish I believed all that nonsense, it would make huckster frauds like Robertson easier to take.
As it is, I know he'll die in a nice warm, soft bed and that will be it. Of course, he'll realize in his last moment that he really can't take anything with him and that's really going to suck for a guy like him.

(111,237 posts)I'll believe in his last few minutes as he realizes it was all for nothing, that it all stays behind him and he doesn't get to enjoy any of it.
One of the funniest conversations I had with my dad was what should happen to Jerry Falwell. It involved a glory hole, a gay peepshow, a pit bull, the fire department and jaws of life, and all 3 networks live. You'd have liked him.
And yeah, I don't believe a word of it it, but I can tell the difference between people who get the point and people who don't.

(719 posts)I say that they really don't believe in God. If they did, especially now, at the end of their miserable lives, they would be changing the way they treat people to try to get their ignorant asses into heaven...
15Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
True and False Disciples
21Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles? 23 Then I will tell them plainly, I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!
Like i said, Theydon't really believe & for believers, we know that it WILL not end well for them SMDH
