Trump's evangelical adviser: ‘God has given Trump authority to take out Kim Jong Un.'

Makes sense that Trump, to pander to a base, would be in line with evangelicals. Not because he gives a shit about God or Christianity, he probably thinks Jesus is the guy that mows one his golfcourses, but because evangelicals as loud and "look at me" as he is - caring more about the outer appearance, showmanship and certainly themselves above all else. Perfect marriage.
 
He said that many pacifist Christians will cite Romans 12, which says, “Do not repay evil for evil,” but Jeffress says that that passage is referring to Christians, not to the government.

???????????????

Christianity is such a bunch of bullshit, Jesus Christ.

The only miracle I've witnessed was my escape from the evangelical mindset.

Easy to be religious, yes. And extremely difficult to stop.

Sometimes I wish I never learned enough to be an Atheist.

It's so fucking easy to let religion fill in the gaps.

I honestly envy the religious.

Yup. Checks out.
 
Heh. That's funny. I went to a dinner hosted by Pastor Jeffress and his church a few years ago - I was dating a woman went to that church. She knew I was atheist but pretty tolerant of hearing folks preach and stuff.

Anyway, he took questions from the congregation at this dinner, many of which were politically pointed. He tried his damndest to stay apolitical then.

For reasons I won't bother going into, he always came across as super slimy, so I'm not too surprised to see he's in bed with Trump. Hypocritical trash.

And people are worried about atheists!?

I feel like an alien on this earth sometimes give how absolutely crazy everyone else acts, and I'm made out to be the immoral dangerous one.

So, why did God put Kim Jong Un there in the first place? Man, when religious folk talk about God working in "mysterious ways" they weren't joking. This could have all been avoided.

I don't feel that way. To say I was miserable back then would be an understatement. Unmotivated, nihilistic and a danger to myself. Now that that's behind me, I've never been happier or more hopeful.
 
It hasn't even been a year and this guy is making it feel like WW3 is just outside the door, waiting to be let in.

So, am I expecting a ton of Americans movie to UK or elsewhere once it starts getting haywire? Because don't come here, it's fucked here too.

I hear New Zealands nice.

All you had to do was not vote for the guy who built his riches on failed casinos and has multiple links to mobsters and who has repeatedly said Nukes should be usrd.

But hey, Hilary was the war monger here. A woman who during that same time period spent vast amount of time and effort to help get better healthcare for children. She's the dangerous one.

Well if evangelicals can read "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God" and still come out thinking that you can be a predatory capitalist and a good Christian, then I am sure they can groupthink their way into sanctioning murder on an unprecedented scale.

Romans 13 said:
Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment.

By the logic in this passage, those who protest police brutality and unjust murders of people of color, are in fact resisting God.
 
Imagine a country with nukes, an unreliable clown as a president, heavily influenced by religious extremists, a huge military industry, but mostly muslim culture/religion.

It would be declared the archenemy in no time.

Geesh, the comments. Half of the Trump supporters are actually happy about what Trump says in the video, because he's consistent on an issue for once!

The ending really gives away his ignorance of history and nuclear proliferation. He puts the hypothetical to Russert; "Do we really want North Korea placing nukes aimed at New York " and other cities?

That was what the entire fooking Cold War was about. Both the USSR and USA aiming each other's nukes at their cities, and yet, nobody preemptively launched a strike at anyone, much less threatened "fury and fire" at random times.

And neither did they launch it against India, Pakistan, Israel or even Iran.

This is indeed a headfuck.

Christian President (apparently) has Christian adviser who pathetically justifies possible aggressive action by said President in vague theological terms and ignores counterpoints by saying... they do not apply because the President is in effect not a Christian.

Right.
