To all the Evangelicals who voted for Trump

[mtnsnake]

Next week you will be celebrating the birth of Christ, not stopping for one split second to admit that Donald Trump is the exact antithesis of everything that Jesus Christ stood for, which makes you the biggest hypocrites on the planet, bar none.

Trump made a mockery of the 10 Commandments.

Not only did he cheat on his wives, but he bragged openly about it.

He didn't just steal from one person; he scammed thousands of innocent victims out of all their money.

Not only did he bear false witness (lie through his teeth) against his neighbors, but he lied about anyone who stood in his way, all in the cause for money, attention, and power.

Not only did he covet his neighbor's goods (property), he trampled right over them until he got it.

If you couldn't have found it within yourselves to have voted for Hillary, then you should not have voted at all because by voting for Trump, you voted for the devil himself. Jesus would be ashamed of every single one of you hypocritical EVIL fucking idiots.

1. Hear! Hear!

Truer words never spoken.

[yeoman6987]

33. I tell Christian trumpers this all the time

There response is we are not electing a pope. Most not catholic either but say that. Weird.

[Hortensis]

44. I've point outed Proverbs 6-16, etc.: What God hates

and are detestable to him. If there was any truth to any of it, they'd all be headed for that hideous lake of fire they imagine was created for people like me. Not that I have to be concerned over-distressing anyone. Wearing the label "Christian" is clearly all the fireproofing they imagine they need.

[Kingofalldems]

55. I think that's actually your own response, yeoman6987.

[RandiFan1290]

80. Cool story, bro.

[Achilleaze]

2. Hypocrisy is at the core of Latter Day 1-800 so-called "Christianity."

[mexit]

63. Are those the 2 Corinthians?

[Wounded Bear]

3. I have this strange feeling...

that the End-Timers revel in the Trump presidency because they think that he, as the Anti-Christ, will bring on their beloved apocalypse and get them all raptured.

[erpowers]

11. Messiah

I did not look at the clip, but someone was claiming that at least one evangelical believed Donald Trump might be the Messiah. It was a clip from the guy who does the Secular Talk show on YouTube.

[Pachamama]

30. Much of the predictions were that the anti-Christ would be confused as being the Messiah

[HassleCat]

4. They are exactly like the Islamic extremists they hate so much.

They seek to use the power of government to impose their religious code on others.

[treestar]

8. This

Deep down they are envious of the theocratic Muslim states.

[Missn-Hitch]

64. YES! Thank you. If the political climate allowed it, there would be heads on stakes.

[Dawson Leery]

67. Domain over others if the God of the Evangelical.

They are pure filth. They are in line with Jihadists.

[vi5]

5. Their likely response?

"LALALALALALACAN"T HEAR YOU.....LALALALALALA ANTI-ABORTION JUDGES TO THE SUPREME COURT.....LALALALALALA.....ROLLBACKS OF GAY RIGHTS......LALALALALALALALA"

[mwooldri]

25. Actual response is "I forgive him".

Only problem with that: I haven't heard him saying any words of remorse or repentance for what he has done. He hasn't asked for forgiveness.

[Thav]

57. Exactly, the reason Trump is not a christian

He's never asked forgiveness and boasted that he's never done anything to ask forgiveness for!

[RKP5637]

6. Evangelicals, guess what, god is a fake like Hump! n/t

[SammyWinstonJack]

85. +1000000!

[treestar]

7. Absolutely

They are just wrong to accept behavior in Dump they condemned others for. Just insincere, like Newtie.

[Girard442]

9. Evangelicals should read their own book more.

From Revelations 16:13-14, KJV

And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

That would be Kellyanne, Trump, and Bannon, if you want to play this game.

[Grey Lemercier]

46. spirits like frogs

[Jacob Boehme]

10. That's the real selling point of evangelical Christianity...

... It's the religion you practice on someone else.

[lastone]

14. Dang that's a good one!

I'll be quoting you often!

[DemoTex]

18. Perfect!

Thanks for that!

[Augiedog]

26. I agree. Nice turn of phrase

[brer cat]

78. You have nailed it, Jacob.

Welcome to DU.

[dembotoz]

82. was gonna post something else but damn yours is much better than what i got

[lastone]

12. Great post mountain snake!

[AlexSFCA]

13. religion?

Evangelical christians has become more of a political ideology than religion.

[shadowmayor]

15. Logic and Reason?

The "faithful" are seemingly impervious to logical thought and critical reflection when it comes to their beliefs. It's like trying to convince your cat why a bath is good for them. Uh uh - no way. Trump is President, praise Jesus. Scariest words we'll be hearing a lot of in 2017.

[3catwoman3]

68. I'd rather try to give a cat a bath...

...than waste time trying to talk to one of the "faithful."

[Initech]

16. Bill Maher had a great New Rule about this before the election

Truer words never spoken.

[JudyM]

21. Thanks for posting this clip!

[world wide wally]

17. Evangelicals are strictly a branch of the GOP that knows they will go to hell is there is a God,

so they have to wear this disguise and pretend they love Him.

[Vogon_Glory]

19. The Evangelicals voted for Ba'al and Mammon this year

The next time one of those Bible-waving Pharisees claim to be speaking for the Almighty, he or she deserves to have their noses rubbed in this year's behavior.

[workinclasszero]

20. They serve Mammon not Jesus

It's very easy to see.

[meow2u3]

27. You nailed that one!

I always said that RW evangelicals talk a good game about serving God when in fact they serve Mammon.

[DFW]

22. Mahatma Gandhi had them pegged nearly a century ago:

“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

[Crunchy Frog]

60. Monty Python came to essentially the same conclusion.

While doing the initial research for the movie Life of Brian. Interesting bit of trivia.

[calimary]

23. I actually turned to my husband recently and asked him if he thought, as I myself wondered, that

trump just might be the Antichrist.

trump certainly has made a mockery of the 10 Commandments, and of Christ's own "two greatest commandments" - to love God and love thy neighbor as thyself. That whole "what you do to the least of these, you do to Me" thing.

We are in for some dark and dreadful times, I fear.

[Loge23]

24. Oh come all ye deplorables

The deplorables better be careful for what they wish for. If their god actually does return, I don't think he or she will be happy with the welcoming committee.

[no_hypocrisy]

28. And supposedly Hillary R. Clinton was associated with The Family/Fellowship.

She was one of them.

[libtodeath]

29. I hope their sky daddy sends them food when they are starving and heals them when they cant get

health care.

Other then that fuck em.

[Missn-Hitch]

88. Hear, hear!

[lambchopp59]

31. No I'm not new here, I'm nightscanner repackaged since the hacking.

We've had a few incidents with the few Trumpeteers here at work being called in for disciplinary actions. One who made blatantly homophobic remarks towards a co-worker was forgiven, admonished and told never to pull that shit again. Another... however... truly cut loose with comments towards (anyone who wasn't white, hetero or republican) about their pending deportations was dismissed. Another contract worker who has continually hinted to racist and Christian-supremacist views will soon be leaving.
I'll be glad when that one hits the door too. All three of the above are hand wringing, relishing in having their deplorable viewpoints validated by the election. False equivalencies abound comparing the rest of us (practically all democrat) with the disappointments they suffered when Grandpa Jones and Mitt Money lost. I still must endure some "my confabulations are as good as your facts" echoing of the latest Fox News pile of crap.
But most of all, how foolish any of them are to truly believe the politicians display Christianity altruistically.

[aggiesal]

32. The irony is that ...

Hillary Clinton is the religious one.
When she was First Lady, the Clinton's either attended Foundry Methodist Church,
or Hillary had a Methodist Minister come to the White House on Sunday's for services,
when they were at the WH, and they couldn't actually go to church.

Nixon didn't do this.
Carter attended church and even taught Sunday school DURING his Term as President.
Forget Reagan, he hated religion.
Bush Sr. didn't attend church, and Bush Jr. would at times, but he did
not belong or was registered to any specific church in DC or in Texas.
Obama's attended church sparingly during the first term, but didn't attend during his 2nd term at all,
using the excuse that "... his presence detracts from other worshipers."

We all no that McCheetohead doesn't attend church and is pretty much morally bankrupt.

No, it was Hillary's faith that carried the Clinton's through their years in DC, be it the WH or Senate.

[Cosmocat]

38. Bush II

Bent the knee to them, made a real effort to court them, and had the smarmy televangelist thing to him. I really could see why they liked him, he was their kind of phoney.

Trump is so absurdly not Christian it eliminates any shred of pretense the assholes have as to politics, just put and r behind a name and they pull the lever.

Pretty pathetic.

Love the dumbstanifan pic, btw.

[maryellen99]

43. I remember flipping channels and seeing him on one of the religious channels back in 2000 nt

[3catwoman3]

69. But, but, but, didn't he say...

...the bible was his favorite book? (yeah, riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.)

[rury]

62. The Obama Family did in fact attend church

a few times during his second term, so you're wrong on that count.
Additionally, it is a REASON, rather than an EXCUSE, that the extra security required at a church the First Family attends can be disruptive. The Obamas limited their church attendance out of consideration for parishioners.

[aggiesal]

66. No, it's an excuse ...

When the president attends services, metal detectors are installed,
and church goers say that it only inconveniences them for less than
5 minutes, no large amount of visitors go to the services so it's not
like it's packed and none of the worshipers bother the president.

According to Politico, Obama has gone to services on about 6 percent
of the Sundays during his presidency, and the majority of those were
in the first term.
That's an average of little over 3 per year. That's only 24 Sundays of
approximately 410 Sundays.

[Hulk]

34. I was so tempted to send this post to my older siblings.

But two of my younger siblings have already "exploded" and wrote them off as someone they no longer want to hear from.

This election really has divided the country, the neighbors, and even families. I thought replublicanitis was a disease, but dRumpf is the ugliest sore of all diseases.

[LittleGirl]

75. Now that trump was elected

my brother is speaking to my Mother again. After 2012, he told her he didn't want to speak to her and didn't speak to her for all but started to during the last year of Obama's second term. It's hard for me to forgive that fucker/brother that hurt my Mother so badly. She couldn't talk about him the whole time without breaking down in tears. My other brother refuses to forgive him because he wants to punch him out. ugh.

[J_William_Ryan]

35. Evangelicals are

at least consistent in their hypocrisy.

[raging moderate]

36. He bragged that he had committed sexual assault.

He bragged about cheating and stealing.

[VOX]

37. "Nonprofit churches want the right to engage in politics"

What these zealots seek is even greater political clout. They'd be ecstatic to have a white theocracy. Trump is a means to an end. Or so they hope.
http://www.salon.com/2016/12/15/trumps-catering-worked-why-the-christian-right-is-head-over-heels-about-him-becoming-president_partner/
<snip>
In Trump, right-wing evangelicals see someone who will protect them from what they view as liberal tyranny assaulting their religious freedom. Nonprofit churches want the right to engage in politics. Business owners want the right to discriminate against LGBT employees and customers. Religious private schools want states to fund voucher programs so low-income students can attend on the public dime. And perhaps most important to right-wing Christians is defunding Planned Parenthood, which Trump has pledged to do, and making abortion illegal, which he has signaled may happen. Trump told “60 Minutes” the Sunday after Election Day that he would appoint pro-life justices to the Supreme Court, and that if the court struck down Roe v. Wade, states could decide whether to allow abortion or not.

[NastyRiffraff]

87. Fine, then take away their tax exemptions.

They can't have it both ways.

I live near DC, and the Catholic church owns wide swaths of prime real estate in the city that are not taxable. That's just an example; I'm not singling out the Catholics---there are more churches in DC (and in the country) than there are schools and hospitals, by a wide margin. Threaten their tax-exempt status and they'll whine about it but maybe they'll shut up about how they should be able to engage in politics.

[ananda]

39. No, I would tell them, you elected the anti-christ.

Those evangelicals are real pieces of work, aren't they.

Complete un-christian hypocrites.

[BluesRunTheGame]

40. Baby Jesus got throwed into the flaming dumpster.

Cheeto Jesus rose from the ashes.

Merry Christmas everybody!

[oasis]

41. Huckabee has to be the nation's #1 hypocrite.

[JI7]

42. many of them are actually white supremicists

[JHB]

45. The journey of evangelicals for Trump...

From http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/blog/antichrist/

A little context: the cartoonist, Dave Willis, grew up in a strict conservative evangelical household, and Joyce, the little kid/older kid/young woman in this progression is something of an alter-ego of his about how that bubble bursts for some people, and of some of the hypocrisies that manifest in the people for whom it doesn't burst.

[coco22]

47. And..

The two corinthians.

[duffyduff]

48. As long as a woman wasn't elected, they don't care. n/t

[DLevine]

49. Spot on. nt

[Buckeye_Democrat]

50. Bravo!

[Kablooie]

51. You could say the same about every evangelical shyster preacher.

That's exactly how the evangelicals like their leaders to be.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

52. The RW Christians have invented their own Jesus who heartily approves of all of the above

when perpetrated by a Republican.

[lordsummerisle]

53. Abortion was a key issue for them

They felt that Trump would at the very least appoint SCOTUS justices who would be sympathetic to overturning Roe v Wade. This alone allowed them to hold their noses and vote for Trump. Hillary, if elected, would have been very progressive on social issues, including being pro-choice, which they couldn't abide.

[Thav]

56. It's the only issue for most people.

Someone could run on a platform promising poverty, war, pestilence, and dissolution of all religion; but if they were anti-abortion, they'd vote anyway and fawn all over that person.

[Onedarncat]

73. Since theses churches pay no taxes (like DT) they need to stay out of my government

Evangelical logic:
Pro-birth.
Anti-health care, social programs and education.

[TNNurse]

54. I think of how many of them are expecting Jesus to come back any day now.

I wonder if they realize that some dumb ass Trump supporter would either keeping him from coming to the US, deny him service at their business, or shoot him dead.

They are the biggest hypocrites on the planet. Their support for Israel is based of Jesus coming back so they can see him....but many really hate Jews.

[War Horse]

58. Means to and end for several of them, I'm afraid n/t

[Hamlette]

59. character obviously doesn't matter n/t

[lordsummerisle]

61. I can remember seeing that clip of Trump making fun of a handicapped reporter

and thinking, that's it, no one would ever elect someone for president who would do that...

[Missn-Hitch]

65. "You would think their faith would make them happy.

But it doesn't make them happy. They won't be happy until I believe it too." -The Hitch

70. And very soon his karma will get much worse

... God help us all as that happens.

[dhill926]

71. Fuck them to the hell

they believe in.

[rpannier]

72. Abortion. It was all abortion and who would be the next USSCJ

Abortion. That lengthy part of the Bible where Jesus uttered not one word about it
Kind of like Gays

[Onedarncat]

74. Obviously they've not read the bible

No mention of abortion but a whole lot on feeding the poor, the golden rule and love.
Pretty sure if Jesus was a registered voter, he'd have not voted for Trump who embraces none of this in his "favorite book".

[raccoon]

76. To all the Evangelicals who voted for Trump: Fuck you.

I regret that I have only one rec to give to this OP.

[ck4829]

77. Literally not practicing what they preach

[zippythepinhead]

79. praise the lord

I live in NC where it's state constitution says that you can not run for office if you don't believe in God almighty.

I am not making this up folks.

[UCmeNdc]

81. Evangelicals are fake!

They all talk a good game. But in general Evangelicals do not live it.

[AgadorSparticus]

83. You could not have said that any better.

[czarjak]

84. Throwing Jesus under the bus?

That ship sailed long ago.

[gregcrawford]

86. You were too easy on them. n/t
