For four hours, Christians in Georgia gathered to worship Trump. I was there.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Isn't this idolatry? Your jealous god is gonna be, uh, jealous.
Religious people that vote republican are 100% hypocrites. Even you mom.
Especially your mom!
I'm glad my mom isn't some hyper-religious hypocrite. She's just your average low-information overly-proud bigot that couldn't be bothered to vote until a black man had the audacity to be president.
What about my mom???
If god were real he'd be real pissed right now
Too bad he isn't real.
Eh, I'm fine with the absence of a sky-wizard
I prefer it.
Problem here is that you seem to think (or assume others think) that religion is something other than a means to con dupes into giving up power and money. It’s pliable as fuck. It means nothing; it’s merely a means to an end.
There are a significant number of American Christians that have worked Trump into the religion.
Many prophesied his election victory, fueled insanity when this did not happen, culminating in... basically he is a kind of messiah, not literally Jesus, but doing his work, and he must do it before Jesus comes back.
If religion was real Trump would be the antichrist their bible warned them about.
As an ex Christian raised in a fundamentalist household who is now Atheist...
Fucking YUP!
He fits extremely well into the common rapture/antichrist narrative that I was raised in.
I grew up in that world too and he is exactly what those assholes used to rant and rave about while describing their Antichrist. Its funny how that turned out but I can't say I'm surprised, they are really shitty people.
You'd have to actually read the book to know that.
And people who actually read the Bible (and comprehend it), typically end up atheist.
Because it's fucking awful.
Well, yeah, he would be upset if Trump was an idol - but he's the real deal because nobody's been smote.
Yep. I'm not a perfect Christian, but I'm better than these freaks that are literally making Trump their idol. I don't know how anyone could read and believe the Bible, then go follow this adulterous, lying, dishonest, rapist piece of garbage felon...
