The only miracle I've witnessed was my escape from the evangelical mindset.
Easy to be religious, yes. And extremely difficult to stop.

I know you are being sarcastic but....
Well, to be honest USA isn't the "good guy" since 70s basically. But North Korea is way worse in terms of treating their own people.
Speaking as a Christian, this man's comments and his abuse of position are completely vile and disgusting and I don't really see or comprehend why he thinks they in anyway represent or reflect Jesus' teachings. I think this about most public comments by church leaders though...
I guess strictly speaking the Christian faith makes it implicit that we are all fuck ups to some degree, so in that sense I guess he is doing swimmingly?...

It doesn't give a you bail out. It doesn't mean "I can continue fucking up all i want because God will forgive me". Their are consequences for your actions.
EDIT: Jesus said it best, many at the end will be saying I did all these great things in your name and they will be condemned because they ignored the sick, poor and hungry. Which is why it infuriates me that a large part of the republican base associate with the christian faith. They really don't.

Look, the poor man can't be honest about his lack of faith and get to keep the Evangelical support and votes! He has to go through every day knowing that he became the PotUS based on lies and collusion, it's truly a great burden for dear leader to bear... give him a break!

In no uncertain terms the bible's says pastors are the most likely to end up in hell of "christians". If you screw up misrepresenting god's word and position like that their will be consequences.

My mom thinks he's a "baby Christian".
No, without the electoral system it would take the cumulative popular vote from across the nation to win the presidency. The four states you listed have high populations, but account only for 1/3 of the US total population. There's plenty of votes to be gotten outside of them.
Plus, it's not like people within those states uniformly vote for one party or the other.

God put out a statement disavowing Trump, saying he holds the Morningstar in higher regard than 45.

Lmao 'dont you want the President to embody the Sermon on the Mound?'
'no, I skipped over that part so it doesn't exist'
'no, I skipped over that part so it doesn't exist'
Isn't that from Mitchell and Webb Look?
Right.
Also, gotta watch Peep Show.
Yeah exactly, it's what I meant by "our".
It's a shame people prefer the solace of superstition rather than face reality head on.

At the point you're saying "Yeah, I believe in the bible, I just ignore all that hippy SJW shit that Jesus fellow was spewing" you're probably stretching things to call yourself christian

Evangelicals are Christianity's super devout crazy aunt. If you think Christianity is conservative evangelicals are the almost taliban levels of fucked up. They give Christianity as much a bad name as the taliban gave Islam.
Well she is half right.

As a Filipino Christian who grew up in the Philippines... to me it is not. One of the reason i kinda grew out of my religion is finding out that Chritianity from my old country is just as bat shit crazy as the christianity over here. I was on a perception that Chritianity in the US was more sensible than in the Philippines but it is not.. actually quite the opposite now that i think about it.
hahahaha foreign policy dictated by religion. Where have I seen this before?

Is this supposed to be Trump's way of raising the bar after their statement about bombing Guam?
"Oh yeah? Well God said we could smoke you. Now what?!?"
Can't believe the dick waving going on over this, its nationally embarrassing and mortally terrifiying. Calling it "saber rattling" is giving it way too much credit.

Its basically a different religion than they think it is.
Just think of it as a Cross between Dark Souls, Call of Duty, and Pokemon, and you've basically got American Christianity down.

This is how dumb some of our local "Christians" are. It's so easy to absolve any responsibility, thought, and logic and just attribute that it's all "God's Plan".
American Christianity is a disease.

I didn't knew Trump had church advisers! He sounds as crazy as he is D:

the question would be, how does the head of state have a church adviser (on governing).
Sorry to hear that, she sounds exactly like my Grandma.
Oh so NOW they separate church and state!! I've long since been tired of these "Christians". Only Christian when it's convenient for them.

Agreed.
As a Christian man myself, I will never understand how they reconcile Jesus' ideas of love and be good with everyone with all those guns, military power and fuck those minorities and those different to us.
