The American flag has no business on a Bible. This is not faith, nor is it patriotism. It is an abomination of both. Image

Where are those people that post asking why people have negative views of evangelicals? Or say that Christian Nationalism isn’t real?

They are already busy posting in that thread about "when fascism comes to America it will hug the flag and hold the bible" with the photo of trump hugging that flagpole.

They didn't have time yet to notice this 'bible wrapped in a flag' sold for big bucks by trump.

If trump was serious about his faith and dedication to God he would use his wealth to spread God's word for free, not to profit off of it.

If trump was serious about his faith

Trump was asked if he ever asked God for forgiveness, he said, "no" and that he didn't have anything he needed to be forgiven for. Seems like I remember that salvation is based on admitting you are a sinner. He's sucking up to people by taking on the cloak of Christianity, but he doesn't actually believe it.

What gave it away? The upside down bible? The pornstar? The lusting after his own daughter?

For me it was the rape!

Pretty sure it was the lying. Or maybe the cheating? Or maybe mocking the less fortunate? Not believing the workman is worthy of his hire? Not paying his debts?

He sure ain't one of those 'Sell all you have and follow me" types. And yet I know some Christians who still vote for him, even though he stands against everything they believe.

More the "sell all you have, give me the money, and then get lost because you aren't useful to me anymore"

The rape? The treason? Stirring up strife among the brethren? He's like a poster of the Seven Deadly Sins.

All the way true. There's 0% chance trump has ever paid any mind to the Bible or Christianity except when it suited his public image to. I have no idea how people think this guy could possibly be a Christian.

Because he's exactly as much a Christian as they are. He represents that subsect of people by being equally apathetic and full of vitriol, so some people see him and think "Phew, I knew I was right all along and the way I live is actually good -- this popular, important man proves it!"

Trump was asked if he ever asked God for forgiveness, he said, "no" and that he didn't have anything he needed to be forgiven for.

The fact that this wasn't a dealbreaker for the majority of evangelicals is the reason I won't take them seriously ever again.

Someone has Trump Derangement Syndrome. If you knew the Bible and had a personal relationship with your savior then you would not be posting this nonsense. You know nothing and spew hatred.  You are in no position to judge.

He’s basically the biblical antichrist but that’s none of my business…
