I’m not american nor evangelical (I’m a European lutheran), but I mainly find it stupid. Not even insulting: just plainly stupid.
Is he inserting nightmares directly into Jon Stewart’s sleeping face?
He is mad, and this is just another sign that he belongs in the loony bin.
Christian American here. Just about everything Trump has said or done with regards to Christianity since his first campaign (and before) has made it clear that he is in no way a regenerate disciple of Christ. This is not surprising, just more of the same pandering, self-righteous, self a aggrandizing stuff we’ve seen for years.
There’s a concerning culture of what I call Americanism within the American church, where nominal/cultural Christianity is mixed with prosperity gospel/materialism, nationalism, and a bunch of other unbiblical teaching. It truly is idolatry in many forms. Politics are one expression of that, where even good desires are swallowed up into partisanship and division and sold as the lesser of two evils. Leads to all kinds of hypocrisy.
Happy to answer any questions or comments.
How does a congregation square that circle? Like how do they preach things directly counter to their main book (the bible) and still think they are following the teachings? Or do they not and it is another schism, but this one is about american exceptionalism and how actually worshiping golden calfs is good, somehow?
I guess I just don’t get how you can have a room full of people, give them all the same book and then have them all get on board with something entirely counter to said book.
Christians of Lemmy!

is he going through a list about antichrist? this is literally one of the things.
Textbook blasphemy.
That he’s anti Christ was clear from the “grab em by the pussy” talk. Also his marriage, infidelity record would’ve disqualified him for any clear eyed christian.
But sadly (depressingly) I know people who call themselves christian but are utterly blinded by anti abortion rhetoric, that they forget that living immigrant children are also lives worth saving. They cannot see Mexican or Guatemalan kids as creations of God. Or in my European case Syrian or African.
They are what in Spain is called BBC Christian (Bodas, Bautizos y Comuniones).
TLDR: give a pair of sneakers to an oyster, it won’t make it Usain Bolt.
Disclaimer: I’m not a US christian.
Christ was poor, he stood for the poorest, not the richest, he had some brain working, he was oppressed for his ideas, and he died for them… while at the same time forgiving his murderers.
No matter the amount of AI trickery (and wasted energy), Trump looks as much as Christ as he looks like a decent human being (hint: not at all). Imho, he would have a lot more chance to try to pass as Taylor Swift…
Christ was poor, he stood for the poorest, not the richest, he had some brain working, he was oppressed for his ideas, and he died for them… while at the same time forgiving his murderers.
Despite not being christian, you still got many things right.
Just one thing: he died not for ideas, but for people.
Christians/Catholics were presented with decades of evidence of systematic child rape and protection by the churches, crimes commited by literally thousands of priests… and did nothing. No mass exodus from the faith, no reform, no nothing. Now you think a little graven imagery/idolatry is going to cause a serious stir? Plleeaaasseeeee…
It’s blasphemy and playing right into the assumption that he’s the Antichrist.
Also, what is that Evangelion looking thing above his head?
He is not THE Antichrist. But he is AN antichrist.
I reckon it’s Sauron.

As a kid, our Baptist church had two flags with golden eagles on the top in the pulpit alongside the cross.
The actual religious tenants aren’t a part of your typical American church.
I feel offended, disgusted, and entirely unsurprised. While this is probably the most blatant example of him blaspheming, it’s very far from the first. Even on top of that, him and all the other nationalists that work with him have been dragging God’s name through the mud for ages, really from long before Trump started politics. I can’t say for sure if they believe God exists or not, but they sure aren’t following him.
For context: I’m not American, but I’m very much Christian.
if he wants to emulate Christ so much I’ll nail him to a cross and let him die.
for our “sins”, of course.
I think Trump is definitely a Christ-like figure when I remember that Jesus was executed by the state for leading a rogue political movement.
