    No. It's just non believers being cynical and power hungry as usual. If you believe in god, hell is waiting for them. That's literally the ONLY thing that keeps me having any kind of faith these days.

    Oof, I take it you've never really done an educated deep dive into the Bible then. Both Old and New Testaments demonstrate a very imoral monster at the helm who promotes injustice left and right. If anything, Trump isn't far off with his horrible treatment of women and minorities.

    I think what people end up doing is just assuming "chistian" is a synonym for "good" when the foundation of the religion is many of the evils we got rid of in the last hundred years.

    Sure. Leo thinks it's a guide for morals and good living. Trump understands it's a grift to let old warmongering men stay in charge.

    Are you sure? Sometimes I think Trump goes in and out of lucidity these days.his word salads have been getting worse.

    Yeah American evangelicals don't think any Catholics understand the Bible.

    That's because they follow the Capitalist Bible

    Partly, but also because they're chauvinistic about their religion and think Catholics aren't Christian. Even at their best they practice sola scriptura and disagree with Catholics on interpretation, therefore they assume Catholics don't actually understand the bible. Meanwhile Catholics look at them confused as to how anyone can read that thing, reject all context snd traditional interpretation, and come away believing every word is literally true and that they have an unerring understanding of it, much less without the graduate degree in the topic priests need.

    As I suspected, conservative Christians in the US are not real Christians, but rather “money for faith” type people. Their supreme authority is money. Nothing to do with christianity or Jesus or faith.

    Trust me, a lot of these conservative Christians absolutely do believe in Jesus and absolutely do believe in God. And to be honest, I wish that people wouldn't try to call them something other than Christians. Because they are Christians. We don't need to preserve the sanctity of that term for only good moral upstanding people. It's just not fair or reasonable to say that only these really excellent people are real Christians and everyone else isn't really a Christian. All that does is reinforce the term as something that conveys goodness and morality. If 95% of the people out there who are calling themselves Christians and who go to Christian churches and who read Christian Bibles act in a certain way, then sorry, that's what Christians are, that's what Christianity is.

    I've been saying for a while that they really ought to be called something other than Christians. Maybe "crooks" is a bit too much on the nose, but some new name is definitely required.

    Camels.

    For it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to gain entrance into heaven...

    They worship wealth, they claim to follow these teachings and to know them well, and they expect to enter heaven? Then they are camels, lining up for the eyes of needles and expecting easy passage.

    EDIT: Wait, wait.

    Scamels.

    This pastor clearly doesn't believe in heaven and hell, or he would lie in support of the literal anti-christ.

    I'm guessing that the 'pastor' has some pretty heavy callouses on his knees that aren't from praying.

    That bible experts cannot agree on what the bible means, and which of its doctrine is important, makes for a strong argument that it is a historical document, neither inspired, nor univocal, nor inerrant.

    If it were divine, then its meaning would be clear beyond debate.

    In other words, it's just a bunch of mythology invented by dudes in the bronze age, and nothing more.

    Yeah, this is why in a way Catholicism and Orthodox makes more sense where you have an ultimate authority chosen by god to update Christianity. Has its own issues though like the time when the pope issued purgatory skip papers for money to fund pet projects.

    no he doesnt. he listens to his sick-minded "preacher" who also misinterprets the scriptures he cherry picks

    Well, he could be right. Not something people who believe in religion want to hear however religion's purpose is to control the masses and Trump and his ilk are all about controlling the masses. God is just the manipulating tool.
