Donald Trump Antichrist

well done ...kinda ....almost

Nope. And BTW, Christians aren't looking for a Messiah. We have a Savior already in Jesus Christ. The Messiah is a Jewish title for Jesus and He will be coming again... Trump is just the USA President.

American Christians didn't invent the "messiah." Judaism referred to the promised messiah as someone who had blood from King David's line who will save their country. Many, MANY "messiahs" flourished during the Roman occupation of Palestine. Evangelicals across the nation have referred to Trump as God's Chosen One over and over again. It may be a political act more than a genuine article of faith, but the net effect of blind allegiance is the same.

Incorrect. First you repeated my already clear statement that the church has no messiah. Not sure why you felt that need.

As for God’s Chosen One, that is not referring to a “messiah”. Trump *IS* the “one” God “chose” to lead this country at this time. As Obama was before him. Whether intended as blessing or judgement is not yet clear (though intellectual honesty requires admitting all the overwhelming number of good things he’s done so far). God raises up leaders. Now sadly those calling him the chosen one do fail to acknowledge Hillary would have been equally “chosen”.

Had Christians voted correctly per our beliefs in the 2016 primary, Trump would never have come close to being the nominee. Cruz most likely would have.

Right, Ted Cruz the son of the fanatical, evangelical Christian nationalist Rafael Cruz. But, I guess you guys gotta dance with the anointed one that brung yah, huh?

Again, you don't read.

Trump is not an anointed one except in your own sick mind. Now go away.

Of course, because you're totally not saying it. No one is. Except all the evangelical Christians who are doing that all the time

A very small number. All the ones who are saying it. Not all of them are saying it. Grow up.

You know, it really doesn't work to try and gaslight people when they can see you crossing your fingers.

And "American Evangelicals" does not describe American "Christians" as a fungible group, not by a long shot.

You should leave “American” out of it. It’s irrelevant. I’m a Christian. Period. Loyalty to God over country.

Leave "American" out of a phenomenon almost unique in American religion. Perfectly sound reasoning.

Glad you agree. My reply was about Christians. You took it where it didn't need to go.

Sorry, I should have said Christianity, because that's what I meant

A plague that attacks Trump's political opponents?

If that's what you want...

Oh, sure, because the coronavirus only inflects rational people.

Rational people aren’t Trumps opponents.

The only US deaths are in Washington state. The groups that will be most at risk are those who suffer compromised immune systems, or who have underlying health conditions - the weak.....like drug users, AIDS/HIV infected - you know, your people.

If you want to call those behaviors "rational", then I suppose we have different definitions.

Sure, go ahead and act on that belief that your ideology gives you an fantasy invulnerable immune system. Preferably while touring a coronavirus Ward. I'll wait.

Eating right, exercise (from hard work tending my animals and garden), and avoiding antibiotics for the past 25 years has made my immune system strong.

I'm not afraid of COVID-19, just like I'm not afraid of the seasonal flu - I'll catch it, I'll beat it, and I'll keep on writing software and tending to my private food supply.

I should probably try to get back to riding my bicycle 50 miles a day. I was like superman in those days.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! There's nothing sweeter than delusions of grandeur.

I'm not sure it's any sweeter than watching someone try to ascribe their fears onto me. I'm not afraid of the things you're afraid of.

Whatever you say, completely not insecure about his own masculinity person.

My wife has a strong immune system, my children have strong immune systems, my grandchildren have strong immune systems. That's 3 males and 6 females - do you see where I'm going with this?

Regarding my masculinity - I'm so secure that I don't feel the need to question the masculinity of anyone else.

All the best to you and your imaginary brood of fantasy Übermenschen.

Good luck with your fear of everything.

Good luck to you, Buck Turgidson. Make sure to lick all your kids when you put them to bed.

So, Mike, how is that fantasy that only drug addicts and AIDS victims will die working out for yah?

40000 + United States deaths as of April 20th, and you think it's worked out pretty well? Jesus Christ you're a go***mn lunatic sociopath. What sort of dignity is there in being a brainwashed cultist?

Hmm....it appears that you're misquoting me, which surprises me not at all.

Also, pretty well - COVID-19 has caused the HRSA to issue guidance documentation on how to handle HIV patients where related to COVID-19, and NIDA to issue guidance on substance abuse and COVID-19.... It's bad enough that they're giving direction to health care workers that the populations are especially vulnerable.

I think your dignity just died.

Jesus Christ, what a torrent of verbal diarrhea. Are you sure of your facts? It really doesn't seem like you are.

It took you 2 months to come up with that nonsense?

It took two months to notice you placed your little piece of intellectual excrement here. I know it is heartbreaking, but I don't spend my days and nights wondering what the hell you think about anything.
