I'm not religious, but I'm fairly certain that Trump is the least christian POTUS this country has ever seen.

Trump is the antichrist.

The 'logic' is that God has often used imperfect men to carry out his mission. Noah was a drunk, Lot slept with his daughters, and King David murdered a man so he could have the widow.

No matter what Donnie does, he is anointed because they say so

Wonder how many times God tried to convince someone to do a thing and they just kinda… didn’t. Never read the Bible, but I don’t imagine many stories of unredeemed goat fornicators or greedy merchants end up sticking around.

I feel like that was one of the best parts of the Greeks. Their gods fucked up constantly, and everyone knew it. Fate is a flip of a coin, and so were the deities they worshiped

I think that's why a lot of the pagan religions had trickster gods like Loki.

They decided to cut the story of kid Jesus pushing people off roofs then bringing them back to life after people got mad.
