Millions of Americans Believe God Made Trump President

[icymist]

If Donald Trump gets a little bored on his flight home from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he can always page through a book handed to him by a delegate not long after he arrived: “God and Donald Trump.”

The volume, written by Stephen Strang, a leading Pentecostal figure and the longtime publisher of Charisma magazine, is an easy read—part spiritual hagiography, part Fox News bulletin and part prophecy. It ultimately says far less about Trump than about the charismatic Pentecostals who were some of his earliest religious supporters and who now view his election as the fulfillment of God’s will.


The genre of spiritual hagiography last flourished during the presidency of George W. Bush, who was the subject of four books about religion and one documentary (“George W. Bush: Faith in the White House”) during his first term alone. In Bush, authors had something they could work with. He had a much-documented mid-life experience of being born again, was a regular church attender in Texas, and spoke about God and Jesus in ways that sounded natural.

13. Went down that rabbit hole

...once on Pinterest - completely by accident. They really twist themselves into knots to prove that basically all science is fake. It made my brain hurt how they explained flights and world cruises and travel on the “disc.”

You’ve gotta be a gullible village idiot or willfully obtuse to buy that shit.

2. They worship the shithole

[Me.]

3. How Many Millions Do

as opposed to the millions do not

The article is short on actual numbers

[Zambero]

4. That's a bit too Old Testament

Back then it was plagues, locusts, famines, etc. If bad shit happened , it meant that God was mightily pissed. So now he's pissed and sends us Trump?

5. Yeah, I guess good plagues are hard to find these days.

So we get one giant, un-lanced, talking boil instead.

6. What god is this? God of what??... racism, greed, lust, gluttony, vanity, wrath, envy, stupidity...

I really want to know what god these Repubican fuckers worship... cause it isn't the same one we had in Sunday School.

[BarbaRosa]

7. Well it certainly wasn't the American people,

he missed that by some 3 million votes.

[demigoddess]

8. even God makes mistakes, sometimes really big ones.

That is what He told me.

9. How do they know God wasn't responsible for

the election of Barack Obama just to piss them off. It seems things that happen are only God's will when it's something they want to happen.

11. So God is an asshole ?

[czarjak]

12. W. still never renounced his membership in a secret society...

Serving two masters... something, something?

[tomhagen]

14. Putin is god?

[hatrack]

15. Millions of Americans also have dog shit where their brains should be . . .

[Stuart G]

16. And many probably think that no one is this stupid..Well you are wrong. There is a relatively

new thread in this forum about a mother and father who had/have "dog shit for brains" (my apologies to dogs and their shit for the comparison..) Hit this link to see what they did to their home, let alone their children.
