I stay silent, then say "I'll pray for you". It drives them nuts.

(6,254 posts)ignorance is stunning. He is also a devout Catholic who constantly puts anti Obama memes up. It infuriates him that I turn it around and say Jesus was the product of a single mother, dark skinned immigrant persecuted for his faith just like Obama.

(8,921 posts)"Jesus was a guy who was a peaceful, radical, nonviolent revolutionary, who hung around with lepers, hookers, and criminals, who never spoke English, was not an American citizen, but man who was anti-capitalism, anti-wealth, anti-public prayer (YES HE WAS Matthew 6:5), anti-death penalty.
He never once remotely mention anti-gay, didnt mention abortion, didnt mention premarital sex.
A man who never justified torture, who never called the poor lazy, who never asked a leper for a co-pay, who never fought for tax cuts for the wealthiest Nazarenes, who was a long haired, brown skinned (thats in revelations), homeless, middle eastern Jew?
Of course, thats only if you believe whats actually IN the Bible.

(6,254 posts)things which many Evangelicals do. Using biblical references to the coming of the anti-Christ and how we would know how to identify him, I would say that Trump fits the bill perfectly. I mean of all the supposed characteristics of the anti-Christ, Trumpp matches each one perfectly. I wish I could recall where I saw the article.
On edit- I found the article it's in The New Yorker Intelligence. It's titled "Heres How Wed Really Know That Trump Is the Antichrist". It's a great read authored by serious religious scholars.
