It's only the Christian Trump supporters that are being tested by God. God gave them an F.You claim that Trump supporters are being "tested by God".
That is a lie. You are an atheist, you dont' believe in God.
If you did, it would be some agnostic free form shit, that you would not expect to do personal "tests" for people.
That spelled out clear enough for you?
how does a devout Christian support Trump? He's the antithesis of everything Christ stood for.
The Deepening Crisis in Evangelical Christianity
Jerry Falwell Jr., the president of Liberty University, one of the largest Christian universities in the world, put it this way: “Conservatives & Christians need to stop electing ‘nice guys.’ They might make great Christian leaders but the United States needs street fighters like @realDonaldTrump at every level of government b/c the liberal fascists Dems are playing for keeps & many Repub leaders are a bunch of wimps!”
There’s a very high cost to our politics for celebrating the Trump style, but what is most personally painful to me as a person of the Christian faith is the cost to the Christian witness. Nonchalantly jettisoning the ethic of Jesus in favor of a political leader who embraces the ethic of Thrasymachus and Nietzsche—might makes right, the strong should rule over the weak, justice has no intrinsic worth, moral values are socially constructed and subjective—is troubling enough.
But there is also the undeniable hypocrisy of people who once made moral character, and especially sexual fidelity, central to their political calculus and who are now embracing a man of boundless corruptions. Don’t forget: Trump was essentially named an unindicted co-conspirator (“Individual 1”) in a scheme to make hush-money payments to a porn star who alleged she’d had an affair with him while he was married to his third wife, who had just given birth to their son.
1. Your claims of "might makes right" and such, is made up garbage. It is dismissed and you are ridiculed.
2. The sexual infidelity is a valid point. But it was vote for someone who was wiling to work with the Christians, ie Trump, or someone who would be actively hostile to them, ie Hillary.
the so called 'christians' that voted for trump & the 'party of family values' were all in for 3 specific reasons.
1) to overturn roe v wade
2) tax cuts
3) all things israel.
everything else didn't matter--- including christ's teachings. my sister is one of them thar hallelujah raise the hands to the sky - praise jesus till the cows come home.... except when it comes to paying higher taxes to help their fellow brethren, even after their wanting forced births & the cord is cut....but especially if they are brown brothers & sisters, or a brown bebé.
' hate your next door neighbor, but don't ferget to say grace '
There are millions of individual Christians who each considered hundreds of factors before deciding to support Trump for the presidency.
THAT IS WHAT EVERYONE DOES EVERY ELECTION.
Stripped on your spin and bigotry, Abortion, Taxes, and support for Israel are all valid political issues to consider before deciding which candidate to vote for. Your conclusion they are primary is irrelevant.
That you are angry that they did, what EVERYONE DOES, when deciding to choose between two flawed candidates,
proves that YOU are the bigot here, not them.
Many voted for him because of the courts, Roe, and his willingness to listen them and promote their issues. It isn’t bigotry to state that, it is what they themselves say (at least the Evangelicals).
And now see them supporting policies that are the antithesis of Christ.
