What's with the God fixation all of a sudden?

[nolabear]

First that weird attempt at prayer and now this.

[H2O Man]

1. He thinks

that God works for him.

Recommended.

[spanone]

4. Ain't that the truth.

K&R

[Maru Kitteh]

7. To be fair from his perspective, god is on the payroll.

Everything exists for him, real and invented. Every resource, every belief, exists for him. Every grain of sand, the wheat and the chaff. All for him.

[markodochartaigh]

12. "God is my co-pilot"

Has been a common bumper sticker for decades in Texas and the South.

[Martin Eden]

49. I doubt Trump believes in God, except as a means to his ends

Most believers conceptualize God as a supreme being much greater than themselves to be worshipped, obeyed, and often feared.

The Felon is an entirely self centered malignant narcissist, putting himself before all others. He may view some players on the world stage as members of his elite status or examples to emulate, but subservience to a supernatural power that sits in judgment and punishes transgressors?

I think not. He worships only himself. I doubt his lizard brain conceptualizes "God" as anything but a means for pandering to and securing support from the useful idiots who fall for his con job.

To varying degrees, the same goes for "conservative" politicans and preachers who gain wealth and fame proselytizing a God who, if he exists, would punish them for their feckless greed and cruelty towards the most vulnerable of God's children.

[H2O Man]

60. Exactly!

Just my opinion, but I think christian nationalists create a god in their own image. Many other good people believe in a Santa God with a stained-glass Jesus. Surely a Thomas Merton is in a tiny minority.

The felon has no more understanding of "god" or "good" than an alligator or crocodile.

[Martin Eden]

65. Humans tend to anthropomorphize

The monotheistic God is created in man's image -- an evolutionary progression from primitive societies believing in elemental powers, to the pantheon of deities before the Abrahamic religions supplanted them.

Being agnostic myself, I have no certainty as to whether a form of supernatural consciousness communicated to humans during the past, by means understandable to them. However, I am certain institutional religions became the means by which men motivated by wealth and power manipulated the masses to do their bidding.

I find more value in the spiritualism of Native American concept of Manitou, in which all things have a life force. They lived WITH nature and respected it, rather than ravage it as a commodity for short term profit.

If there is a supernatural being in this universe, I think it would judge Native American spiritualism as far superior.

[Tribetime]

72. God is so lucky to be working for such a perfect human being

[Solly Mack]

2. Someone has been sucking down the Jesus juice tonight.

[CTyankee]

59. OMG, funny!!! But, please do tell, what is "Jesus Juice" and where can I find it?

thank you for considering my request.

[Solly Mack]

62. Wine.

Anywhere.

[CTyankee]

64. Oh, I thought it was more special than just any old wine...

[Solly Mack]

67. Well, calling it Jesus juice makes it more special. :)

But it's still just wine.

[irisblue]

3. A subtle appeal to those believe in 'End Times and Rapture'

IMO

[nolabear]

5. I guess maybe. Are there that many of them?

My fear is he’s dying to be part of some 21st Century Crusades. Big religious conflict.

Fortunately he’s very, very bad at it.

[markodochartaigh]

17. Of course in religion there are going to be different definitions,

but about 78 million people in the US are considered evangelicals. And they voted about 80% Trump. It's a lot. And of course they are gerrymandered so that their votes count more.

[irisblue]

18. Google the Left Behind Books & movies

[niyad]

34. And let us never forget that one of the co-authors of that apocolyptic

insanity, tim lehaye, was the founder of the bizarre Concerned Women for America, run by (ostensibly), his spokeswife beverly. She once said on national tv that, "if we don't teach teenagers about sex, they won't do it."

[H2O Man]

6. Absolutely!

100% aimed at the superstitious.

Recommended.

[ananda]

8. He really wants that peace prize, and

he also really wanted to be pope.

[nolabear]

9. Ohhh rightttt.

He’s going to be SO disappointed. Maybe a participation trophy.

[mobeau69]

16. LOL

[Renew Deal]

20. Bombing Iran won't help

Even if he immediately deescalated. He's going to have to do a lot more to get there.

[Retrograde]

10. "When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross." (n/t)

[msongs]

11. casting himself as the messiah with his worms as disciples nt

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

13. Trump was actually mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls: "THE MAN OF THE LIE"

[Scrivener7]

39. That's interesting. Can you say more about that?

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

47. Yes, I could, but the DU would probably ban me.

I will say this, I have never believed the Dead Sea Scrolls were found accidentally, as the story goes.

[The Blue Flower]

53. What's your theory?

And why does it matter?

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

63. Well, the comment on Trump/man of the lie was just meant to be tongue in cheek.

But, he lies enough to be the man of the lie. The Essenes were probably dealing with someone, or a culture, involved with something deeply taboo. Trump, well, he just likes to lie.

[rickyhall]

14. Absolutely crackers

[Renew Deal]

15. When does the US embassy open in Tehran?

[0rganism]

19. He knows he needs to consolidate support of religious zealots for the next phase of the project

Today's SCOTUS decision re. federal agents having summary exiling privileges is only the start of some very surprising high court decisions we'll be getting for the next couple months, as well as the impending chaos in the middle east. F47 is going to want those troops, deployed both here and abroad, fired up with the holy spirit's finest murder juice to "restore order" upon protesters foreign and domestic.

[MIButterfly]

21. WTAF?

Every day he makes less and less sense. Israel and Iran came to him? Who in Israel and Iran went to him? Are they in the room with us now? In what alternate universe did any of them go to him? Did they have tears in their eyes and say "Sir, Sir, please show us the way to peace?"

Lord have mercy, that man is completely nuts.

[canetoad]

22. Making out

He is like Jesus in the hope of snaring a Nobel.

[PufPuf23]

23. Trump uses God like Charlie Manson.

[thought crime]

41. He's like a cross between Charles Manson and Rodney Dangerfield.

[2MuchNoise]

24. He makes everything weird.

[SamKnause]

25. The majority of his administration are Christian Nationalists.

[RockRaven]

26. He has an obscene degree of contempt for the intelligence of his base, which

tends towards religious, and he is attempting to manipulate them a la affinity fraud in a manner which is laughably transparent to everyone except said base.

[orleans]

27. god fixation? HE'S DYING

i hope

[regnaD kciN]

28. I've heard some theorizing...

…that, while DJT has always been a non-believer, the trauma of being shot at, plus the subsequent narrative from Christian nationalists that he was “saved by God,” have actually convinced him that there is a God (who is just like him, of course), and who has indeed “chosen” him to carry out His will (which is, once again, the same agenda Trump was already carrying out). In other words, he’s developed a whole new level of megalomania.

[nolabear]

29. It's a bad movie script.

But then he’s a bad tv president.

[bdamomma]

43. Yes

what version of "The Apprentice" is in his delusional head???? I hope it's cancelled.

[thought crime]

44. God passed the loyalty test.

Trump thinks God works for him.

[Figarosmom]

30. He's dying maybe?

Of course that's just wishful thinking. He's appealing to the Jesus crowd.

These people that Krystal is talking about

?si=zTGZK1QWaSZW7vEE

[B.See]

31. Hitler had God on his lips too. It's

all part of the CON.

[SheltieLover]

32. I think they use it to justify wars & other unconscionable acts.

[Klarkashton]

33. More shameless campaigning for the Nobel prize.

This is absurd.

[Karasu]

35. He's trying to talk more like his lunatic supporters and doing an absolute shit job of it. Nothing new.

[C Moon]

36. The damned friggin bastard STILL wants the Nobel Peace Prize. The one thing he's always wanted, but can't buy.

I hope to GOD he's at the bottom of the list.

[Irish_Dem]

37. He is doing a fake good person act and doesn't know how to do it.

[Scrivener7]

38. Half of his base thinks he's ushering in the second coming.

You know, the time when then Prince of Peace shows up in Idaho and annihilates everyone on earth except 144,000 people who sufficiently despise everyone else.

Taco has always periodically played into that narrative.

And the assholes fall for it every time!

[bdamomma]

40. He has no

religion, he thinks he's God. The only thing he has reverence for is $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ and himself.

[thought crime]

46. Straight outta Nietzsche (the God is Dead guy)

Nietzsche’s Übermensch or superman is not constrained by society or religion. He has his own will and values. It was probably a mistake to give Trump full immunity.

[hatrack]

42. More slop for the Gadarene Swine of TX, LA, MS, AL, etc. who put him in office?

[MoseShrute]

45. Just like Mark Twain said

Religiosity is the final bastion of a scoundrel. When all else fails, start tossing “god” into the mix.

[orangecrush]

48. Hopefully bad medical news

[Ping Tung]

50. When yellow fever vaccine was invented people said, THANK GOD!". Who invented the mosquito?

[yardwork]

51. That explains a weird text I got from my MAGA BIL.

[malaise]

54. Empty meaningless words

That is all

[Bayard]

55. More proof that there is no god

If there was, trump, the Anti-Christ, would have been smote a long time ago.

[Emile]

56. He is the "Chosen One"

[stillcool]

57. Religion is a political tool

seems to work well with little effort.

[republianmushroom]

58. Still trying for that Nobel Peace Prize ?

[Jilly_in_VA]

61. Paula White's been in his office again

laying hands on him.

[nolabear]

66. They were literally on the WH grounds yesterday

Speaking in tongues. Bless their hearts.

[LudwigPastorius]

68. Trump is starting to believe those freaks who said he was "spared by God" in Pennsylvania.

So, he figures he'd throw the old guy a bone by invoking his name in a tweet every once in awhile.

[Vinca]

69. I'd say we could add another component to the psychiatric stew that is Trump.

[carpetbagger]

70. Kings believe themselves God's representatives

He wants to be worshipped and to speak for God. In the eyes of America's Christians, it's working.

[Uncle Joe]

71. He's trying to repair the perception among his ardent base that he has some measure of moral consideration

despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary for most everyone else to see, they actually believed he cared about their needs, among them no more bullshit endless wars.

The un-provoked bombing of Iran was as a bucket of cold water on their delusion.

Keep and eye out to see whether his newfound morals or God is big enough to actually care about the ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing going on in Gaza, not to mention how the Palestinians are treated in general.

Thanks for the thread nolabear
