Christian Author: Satan Is Directing Anti-Trump Protests

[PatrickforO]

Source: Huffington Post

In a video clip posted online by Right Wing Watch, Richardson said:

“In my opinion, when you see the rage of Satan directed against something, that’s usually evidence that God is involved because Satan is enraged in that which God is doing in the Earth and yes, there’s a lot of rage and Donald Trump and I’ll be honest: I wrestled through a lot of issues during the early part of the campaign.

But, I’ve become solidly convinced in my spirit that the Lord is using this administration. He’s doing something quite powerful. And it’s for that reason that the rage of Satan ― this irrational rage of Satan ― is so directed toward this man.”

This is late breaking news in the sense that a) it was posted about three hours ago, and b) a substantial number of right wing 'christians' seem to think Trump is God's 'anointed.' To me, this is frightening because Trump is sending so many ships to the Korean peninsula that Kim Jung Un is threatening nuclear war. And what will these 'christians' say to that: Oh, well, it's the end times...

I posted this because we need to be alarmed about these religious fanatics.

1. Why wasn't I told about the casting call? (nt)

[Turbineguy]

2. These days

TV preachers have stiff competition from trump. Since you can't get noticed by jumping up on a table and ripping off your clothes you have to say shit like this.

In right-wing-religion, crazy gets paid.

[xocet]

43. In furtherance of your point - i.e., "crazy gets paid...": note from time index 0:47 in the video...

The speaker claims (among other things) a "terrorist movement in the United States...."

Here is some background on that speaker - apparently, he was not a "normal" sort of FBI agent:

Disgraced Ex-FBI Agent John Guandolo to Train Louisiana Law Enforcement Next Week
March 01, 2017
Stephen Piggott

John Guandolo — a disgraced ex-FBI agent turned anti-Muslim activist — will be in Rapides Parish, Louisiana next week, to train law enforcement. Guandolo, who runs a “strategic and operational training & consulting” group named Understanding the Threat, travels the country ostensibly teaching LEOs at every level of government how to seek out terrorist cells in their area. Guandolo’s trainings instead serve as anti-Muslim witch-hunts, often times targeting and vilifying local Muslim leaders.

...

Guandolo’s history of anti-Muslim statements and associations with anti-Muslim groups clearly indicates that his trainings on the “threat” of radical Islam are biased, and a number of his previous trainings have been cancelled when his history is pointed out to the agency booking him. Last year for example, the Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR) took issue with a training he had scheduled in Texas, which was nixed. Guandolo’s response? To call CAIR a “terrorist organization” and liken them to ISIS, writing, “Suit wearing jihadis are no less dangerous than ISIS soldiers on the battlefield.”

3. I think Satan was directing the Trump Campaign

And is now directing the Trump Presidency. Or maybe it is Putin.

[Solly Mack]

4. Here is hoping satan keeps up the good work then.

[denvine]

5. Unbelievable!

True Christians believe just the opposite. What a warped since of Christianity! These people will sell their souls to quench their hatred.

[forgotmylogin]

24. I hate it so much...

...that 45 is able to win over the so-called "religious" people when he probably hasn't voluntarily seen the inside of a church since the last Baptist hooker party.

He does stuff like this "anti-religious discrimination" law which is actually a license to discriminate against so-called "sinners" which are just LBTQ and unmarried mothers and ethnicities they don't like, and thus they are willing to overlook his own Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth.

[packman]

6. Well, of course - it's so clear now

[bluedigger]

7. I will take the "expert in Biblical prophecies" advice under all due consideration.

Yeah, I'm done with that.

[get the red out]

8. Buy the preachers

Own the faithful.

Republican success.

[Javaman]

9. so when do you all think, if this trend continues, there will the burning of witches? nt

[PatrickforO]

11. At this point, I'm not talking much about my faith

or anything else. Our police state is getting pretty oppressive.

[Javaman]

17. I agree, i don't think there is any "faith" in these right wing nuts.

If I didn't know better, I would swear people are spiking their water with ergot. LOL

[bekkilyn]

31. A good tree cannot bear rotten fruit

If the fruit is rotten, then the faith is suspect.

[yallerdawg]

10. My wife - big fan of "The Omen" series and biblical prophecy - believes Trump IS the Anti-Christ...

and will lead the world to nuclear Armageddon.

She refuses to be in the same room when he appears or speaks on television.

I find it mildly amusing - until I hear what Trump is saying and see what he is tweeting.

While I may still get "left behind" ( ) I could become a Believer!

[samnsara]

32. i used to think it was trump but....

...looking more and more like Kushner is the antichrist...

[bekkilyn]

36. I don't believe 45 is the Antichrist

He isn't deceiving most of the rest of the world.

But if all these people are so easily fooled by 45, despite supposedly being aware of the dangers of setting up false messiahs, think of how many would be easily fooled by someone who has the charisma and the cunning that 45 lacks, someone who becomes charismatically influential on a global scale.

It's possible that we could be in the process of setting up an environment where such a person could take power under promises of peace and global unity. A time when people would do nearly anything to stop all the current chaos and destruction caused by people like 45.

[roamer65]

46. Satan would send a better "antichrist" than Dump.

If Dump is the antichrist, I am severely disappointed.

[byronius]

12. That is a shockingly medieval opinion.

1150 AD? 1312? He's a very bad Christian.

[defacto7]

19. The same story has been repeated over and over

for a thousand years by the same type of demigods right through the 20th and into the 21st century. Whether the are selling a belief or a fear or a piece of glass to build a church or the tears of Mary or a blessed trinket that will heal, or dreams of wealth or the second coming of Christ.... it sells.
It sells because humans are gullible. They are gullible because they are uneducated or ill-informed.
That makes this opinion as old as religion and as new as May 2017.

[lunasun]

13. Ha ha funny then funny now

Satan !

[catbyte]

14. Well,

[HAB911]

15. Hail Satan!!

[milestogo]

16. Isn't Satan supposed to be paying us?

[athenasatanjesus]

18. So Satan is back to being Lucifer again?

It's nice to see him and God finally made up.

[bluestarone]

20. These assholes

Are the true PEOPLE OF SATAN!!!!!!!!!!!! NO DOUBT IN MY MIND!!!!!!!!!!!!

[defacto7]

21. Separation of church and state used to

give at least the impression that the crazy magic was on one side and some sense of reality on the other. Now with people who can't decern the difference between real and fake due to the media, greed, and their own stupidity of the Internet, the two sides are getting muddled together into one great pile of shit nonsense.

[onenote]

22. I think he got his wires crossed. My instructions came from Santa.

[Iggo]

23. Deeply held religious beliefs. Respect the fuck out of 'em. (n/t)

[DetlefK]

25. The liar, deceiver, steeped in gold and worshipped by the masses... He's clearly not Lucifer.

[erpowers]

26. Why Didn't They Feel This Way About Obama?

So, why did he and others like him not feel this way about President Obama? There was large amounts of anger when President Obama was elected. A number of arguably bad men and women pledged to destroy President Obama. President Obama did a great deal of good for large numbers of people. Why was his opposition not seen as bad people trying to stop good from happening? I guess this is what some right wing people have to tell themselves in order to live with voting for Trump.

[FiveGoodMen]

27. "substantial number of right wing 'christians' seem to think Trump is God's 'anointed."

Fuck any god who would support Trump.

[ailsagirl]

28. Oh, brother

[bekkilyn]

29. They will be ripe for the Antichrist's deception

"Jesus answered them, “Beware that no one leads you astray. 5 For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Messiah!’ and they will lead many astray. 6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not alarmed; for this must take place, but the end is not yet. 7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places: 8 all this is but the beginning of the birth pangs." Matthew 24:4-8

[SolarAdvocate]

40. Can I give this.......

......an Episcopalian AMEN!

[Thomas Hurt]

30. Funny isn't it...

how these Christians are so tight with Satan and know its mind and will.

[niyad]

33. "I was wrestling with. . . " WHY did my mind go straight to the gutter?

[niyad]

34. nah, my cousin has better things to do with his time.

[Initech]

35. Silly fundies... don't they know that Trump and Putin are demon spawns of Satan?

[SolarAdvocate]

37. I'm actually on the side of the funides....

......in the sense that the Lord is using this administration. To show all of us what Satan looks like in the flesh (oddly, Satan looks like a lump of flesh with a bad toupee - who knew?).

[Vogon_Glory]

38. More chips from the base of tele-vanelical go flying.

DT is the sort of secular big cheese roundly denounced in both the Old and New Testaments, and this Richardson expects us to believe that DT is G•d's annointed?

I admit that I readily find Richardson's claim to be so much BS, but I'd think that even some Fundies would see that making cause with Trump is making cause with Mammon.

[panfluteman]

39. It's Rage, Alright, but it's NOT Irrational!!!

Trump has given us a million solid reasons why he is a total disaster for our country, our civil rights and our democratic form of government, a million different reasons for and articles of impeachment or removal from office. Tell me, Mr. Richardson: Is God against free speech and freedom of the press? And if you cherish your own right to free speech in condemning those who oppose Trump, how can you look yourself in the mirror and deny that those of us who oppose Trump have the same God-given right?

But the most sane, rational argument against Richardson and his ilk is this: Have you really taken a good, hard look at Mr. Trump? And how can you do so without coming to the conclusion that he has exhibited a whole host of un-Godly qualities? How could God really be in favor of pussy grabbing, dictator loving, free press hating, putting private business interests above the national interest, and all the God-awful corrupt, deceitful behavior that Trump indulges in and gets away with on a daily basis? I know that nobody's perfect, and we all have our faults, but Good Lord - Trump has too many faults to be used by God for anything! Heck, he can't even do the mundane business of governing our nation, so how could he be capable of doing God's work???

I myself, as opposed as I was to Trump during the presidential campaign, had a brief period right after the election in which I was willing to at least maintain a semblance of an open mind, to see if Trump would really fulfill all his campaign promises, but day by day, this good will of mine was slapped down by the appointment of one swamp monster after another to high cabinet positions. Day by day, it became increasingly clear that everything about this guy is a LIE - and isn't Satan supposed to be the Father of All Lies?

God gave every human being two very precious things: our reason and our conscience. Anyone who has really opened his eyes and switched on his brain to take a good, hard look at Trump and what he is doing to this country cannot support this great charlatan and impostor.

[BigDemVoter]

41. Sounds like "Church Lady" --an old SNL skit. . . .

It was funny then, but it's not funny now.

[dembotoz]

42. and the lord said He shall rain down showers of gold upon thee

seem to have misplaced the book, chapter and verse.....

i would laugh if i was not so ashamed to be of the same religion

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

44. One for the fans of a certain TV show

[roamer65]

45. If the "Antichrist" persecutes people like this moron.

I'll follow gladly.

[JHB]

47. Nutttery in three panels...

From http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/blog/antichrist/

A little context: the cartoonist, Dave Willis, grew up in a strict conservative evangelical household, and Joyce, the little kid/older kid/young woman in this progression is something of an alter-ego of his about how that bubble bursts for some people, and of some of the hypocrisies that manifest in the people for whom it doesn't burst.

[ProfessorGAC]

48. Satan Is Directing Richardson's Mind

And i don't even believe in that stuff.
