Do you people understand what youre facing today? Bakker asked. You dont understand, but the biggest division in the United States of America is built on the Bible. Those who are against what God says in his word are fighting those who study the word and believe in the word.
Im going to tell you something and I probably shouldnt, but Ive known this for quite a while, he continued. Theyre going to be assassinating preachers of the Gospel soon. They are so angry. They want what they want. Thats why theyre mad at Trump. You dont get it. You really dont get it, why theyre mad at Trump. Theyre mad at Trump because hes like taking candy from a baby. Theyre crying, they want what they want and they want it now and they want it forever and theyve taken over America, basically.
This is the supernatural events of the Last Days, Bakker declared. Theyre now! And the church has to wake up, the people need to wake up. God spoke to me before this election that this election was life and death.

No Jim, we just to see you and your thugs removed from power and thrown behind bars. That would give us more satisfaction than seeing you dead.

(82,849 posts)Because "Be God's best friend or he'll torture you for eternity" doesn't really do it for me. I have enough psychos in my life already.
I wonder when Jim is going to get around to feeding the hungry and clothing the naked and that other Jesus-y stuff? When does he sell all that he has and give it to the poor? When does he start a community that holds all its assets in common to distribute to any members who have a need?

(14,860 posts)There's a reason so many Christians hate and fear non-Christians in general and atheists in particular. They've been taught to do so all their lives, with plenty of Biblical support.

Bakker doesn't have the Ovaries to debate a Civil Libertarian on these accusations. He's scaring elderly shut-ins.

Jim Bakker is a perfect fit for TrumpWorld: crooked as all hell, a lying POS, using his "religion" as a weapon. Fuck this goddamned phony asshole rip-off con-artist.

Hes a swindler who sobs like a baby when he gets caught. See above photo. But the same deplorable who believe the head guy believe him also. Sometimes I think we are doomed.

(58,785 posts)And there's a huge overlap between the kind of authoritarians who passionately soak up every word The Leader says at his rallies as The Truth and the sort who listen to this. After all, god's the ultimate authority to be obeyed. The majority of them who are religious believe god sent Trump to lead them.
Scary as hell.

I often wonder how many of Bakker's type are conscienceless sociopsychopaths in that field because of the large supply of manipulable victims. I suspect many.
TlalocW
(15,388 posts)They're supposedly looking forward to the second coming of Jesus and all that. It's like if Obama were really the anti-Christ then he's in power as part of God's ineffable plan. I can see putting up resistance in terms of trying to convert more people, but if after 8 years, he hasn't brought on the great Tribulation, they should be disappointed.
