That is your error, Glasshopper. You assume the judgment of God.

If you are claiming not to have noticed that Trump is a narcissist ...

He is cartoonishly ... so.

He is unforgettably ... so.

It's no accident.

His hair was ... perfect

Trump is a troll, but he does it casually and with real humour.

Vicious trolling is just low rent.

Trolling's not my thing. Even to twit the twits is a "low rent" kind of hobby.

If you don't even raise your voice to condemn such actions, the resultant plague will not skip your household.

That is your error, Glasshopper. You assume the judgment of God.

Have the rules about usurping the role of the divine changed? If not, golden statues to false gods get you ... *checks notes*... plagues. Yup, definitely plagues.

Of course not. It's a medical condition.

The people who lost their minds when Obama wore a tan suit have really learned to take stuff in their stride now there isn't a black guy in the Oval Office haven't they?

Imagine how piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissed they would have been if that black president had posed as Jesus. But now it's a white guy, they are fine with it.

Oops, your racism is showing through projection, FlashDangerpants.

Since Trump doesn’t think he is Jesus Christ, he was probably trolling this guy, too.

I’ve noticed. You consistently take the discussion higher.

Trump himself is somewhat of a troll. He was trolling the Pope with the picture. For many people The Pope speaks for God, and The Pope was steering out of his lane and into politics by ignoring the mess created by Biden with open borders ((rapes, drugs, criminals, murders, cartel supervision of the border) and criticizing the cleanup crew (Trump's administration).

So, Trump reposted the image of himself as healer of the country and the world to troll the one who speaks for God. Then he said Oops, that won’t play well in Kansas, and he deleted the picture. Then he sent little Marco Rubio (a trolling target during the primary) over to straighten out the pope, which he did. Haven’t heard much politics out of the pope since then.

Perhaps God will forgive his twisted humour and not throw him into hell, but who can second-guess God?

Sheesh.

This is outright worship.

More like a samskara, which is a deeper look, the road for you not taken.

THE PROPHECY

“A light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany … and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama.”

-Barack Obama
Lebanon, New Hampshire,
January 7, 2008.

The Prophecy ... continued.

“A light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany … and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Obama.”
- Barack Obama Lebanon, New Hampshire, January 7, 2008.

Interesting. In New Hampshire during the presidential primaries when B.O. was building his base, he led off with speaking like the Messiah, to one of the least religious states in the The USA. Most of the Christians who are there, are Catholic, and could very well listen to God through the Pope. The Pope who was steering out of his lane.

Was BO mocking, or was he trolling? Or was he appealing to the droll in most of the Yankee New Hampshireites?

Question to AI:
What are the religious demographics of New Hampshire?

Answer:

- Religious Demographics of New Hampshire

- Other Christian: <1%
- Other religions: 5%
- Jewish: 1%
- Muslim: <1%
- Buddhist: <1%
- Hindu: <1%
- Other world religions: <1%
- Religiously unaffiliated: 48%
- Atheist: 11%
- Agnostic: 8%

No one is worshipping a statue.
Statues of mortals are to honor, to respect, not to worship.

The Left knows this well, which is why they tear down the statues that honor and respect.

Religious leaders gave the statue because anyone who honors Trump in any way is persecuted in very real ways by the culture. Religious leaders are used to attacks of ignorance and bigotry, so at least in this regard some can lbe braver in showing their respect. You won't find many folks sporting many Trump bumper stickers in the USA. Nothing against Trump, but no one wants to get their car, keyed.

But no, the statue is to honor Trump, not to worship Trump, and it's put in a place where it's least likely to be torn down.

Not really interested in that drivel today. I am only quoting this to have a nice easily searchable reminder of how much you really loved Trump for when you want to forget about that in a couple of years.

I am sure Mannie welcomes a Christian schism launched by a fat delusional rapist who holds the Bible upside down and can't name any specific passages within it.

The slavish adulation for Mannie, well that's weird too. But whatever floats your boat dude.

Methinks what you call drivel, is just too much truth for you to deal with.

And that's okay. You won't feel so overwhelmed at another time, and you can come back and review.

After all, the topic ... not IC.

And just because he's your obsession, doesn't make him the topic.
