After Donald Trump’s inaugural committee announced its chosen clergy to The Washington Post on Wednesday, the dissent was quieter — and it was not about political issues, but theological ones.

What little criticism emerged on Wednesday mostly focused on one of the six clergy members who will pray at Trump’s inauguration: Paula White, a Florida-based televangelist who has long been close to Trump.

White is known for embracing the prosperity gospel — the theology that God will bless true believers not just with eternal salvation but with material wealth here on Earth. To many believers, the prosperity gospel offers hope and promise. But to other Christians, it’s heretical; and to some, prosperity gospel preachers’ motives are suspect, especially when they seem to be enriching themselves by asking for money from their followers.

6. "Prosperity Gospel"

A convenient "theology," if ever there was one.

10. I like your Neptune.

I used to see these on fires a lot. Many were converted to air tankers. They climb nicely because of the boosters, and they make a cool sound when they come in for a retardant drop.

7. Divorced Twice, Might Not Be Living With Current Husband

I do have a problem with her being divorced twice and married three times while being a pastor. I am not against divorce, but I am not a fan of pastors who get divorced, especially two or three times. Also there is a chance that she is not living with her current husband. According to Wikipedia, her current husband resides in Nashville, TN while her church is located in the Orlando region of Florida. Yes, I realize Wikipedia has been described by some as the bathroom stale of encyclopedias.

13. And don't forget her maybe-affair with Benny Hinn.

He's exactly his type of "pastor."

14. Heard About That

Yeah, I had heard about her alleged affair with Benny Hinn.

[Blue Idaho]

8. He's got Tic Tacs...

And he ain't afraid of using them.

This ain't about faith it's about fondling...

11. He didn't choose her for her theology.

He chose her for her looks.

Blonde.

Surgically altered.

Large mammary glands...

This man is ridiculously shallow.

12. Oh, her theology fits right in with Trump's approach to voters.

Inflame their resentment about their impoverishment, than offer them theological, economic and political miracles as a palliative. It's the sort of program that I would expect in a Third World country; it is utterly breathtaking - heart-stopping even - to see it happening in the USA.

Edited to add: and he can grab a little pussy while they preach. She is so his type.
