    Why do plagues surface every time Donald takes office? Strange that Christians ignore these signs.

      “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭17‬

      This verse pops into my mind when fellow “Christians” praise Trump. It saddens me that they are happy to help a crook and a rapist into power, all because “the Democrats are worse.” Elect a more morally upstanding republican then! Why does it have to be THIS guy?

      I question if they ever actually read the Bible with an open mind… after all, wasn’t Satan the one to tempt Jesus with earthly political power? Even if Dems were worse, didn’t Christ call us to love our enemies? They’ve completely lost the plot, and then wonder why the Western church is in decline.

        Anyone who has read and actually understood the Bible knows that trump 100% fits the bill for being the anti-christ. It’s so ironic.

        It’s very that. Too many people here are like, “fundies OBVIOUSLY don’t understand their own bible fwah fwah,” when no, they totally do and they’re actually really into all that End Times shit. Oceans warming up? Woo-hoo we’re on our way to boiling! Another plague? Sweet! Another sign! Does this one have lesions? Christian Fundies have worked hard for their end times, doing their part to make the laws of god into the laws of man on earth.

        Our planet on fire is literally their best case scenario (and exactly why they can’t be trusted in any kind of public office). They know who Trump is. The imperfect vessel or the antichrist - it’s just another sign to check off the list. I wish I was being hyperbolic.
