Scott Lively Received 'Spiritual Confirmation' That Trump Has Been Transformed 'Into A Man Of God'

[Initech]

Radical anti-LGBTQ activist Scott Lively appeared on the “Point Of View” radio program yesterday to discuss his campaign for governor in Massachusetts, during which he claimed to have received “spiritual confirmation” that President Trump has been transformed “into a man of God” and urged Christians to model themselves after Trump.

Lively has made his support for Trump a centerpiece of his campaign, declaring that Trump is a political genius and “God’s man” and pledging to be “the most pro-Trump governor in America,” and he reiterated that position during yesterday’s interview.

“I’m a strong supporter of President Trump,” Lively said. “I believe he was transformed from a somewhat reprobate New York liberal into a man of God, God’s man in the White House today. I saw the transformation myself—I had a spiritual confirmation, sort of an endorsement of the idea. He has shown the example of speaking boldly and not being intimidated and not backing down on the things that are important and essential.”

Evangelicals, Lively asserted, can make America great again “if Christians would simply follow that model.”

If Trump is a man of god then I'm Elvis. Of course I'll accept that he's a man of Satan. I think even Jesus is somewhere going "DO NOT WANT".

1. Then why doesn't he act like he is?

2. I suggest Scott Lively might want to have a medication evaluation

He might need some adjusting of those psychotropics.

3. Looking from the outside and all I see is the devil that have

pulled the wool over few eyes. This jackass is one of them.

4. It makes sense how the whole rapture bullshit was an easy sell to the evangelicals.

Although I wish it were true & they would somehow all be removed from the planet.

10. Here's an interesting history tid-bit about using religion in politics

Back in the day when McKinley was President and Teddy Roosevelt had a minor cabinet position that he turned into his bully pulpit, we were setting things up to take over the Philippines because ...get this...it was the white man's destiny.

Well, McKinley was trying to get the country behind the idea of becoming imperialistic, a language that most people rejected.
so he made it about Christian duty to uplift the poor savages who needed to hear God's word, etc. Doing them a favor, and all that.

He met with a large number of religious leaders and told them he had a message from god, that it was God's plan for America
to bring salvation to the poor ignorant "negroes" in the Philippines, and got the religious guys behind the idea.
They proclaimed the message for him far and wide.

The bit about the "negroes" made it easier to get support of the country, who knew about Southern slaves, but who had no idea what race Philippines really were. The newspapers of the time were "helpful" in printing what we would now call editorial cartoons depicting the most racist images I have seen.

So in 2 strokes, McKinley got to look good for saving a non-white race from eternal damnation, and nothing was said about the beginning of US Imperialism.

End of the story is that the Philippines were fighting the Spanish, for independence, we offered to "help" them in the fight,
and then we grabbed the country.

This story, and the haunting images, are in the book "The Imperial Cruise". I do consider it an essential read.

5. Lively is full of shit. If he's not intentionally lying, then he cannot recognize evil if it stomped

on his head.

You're right. Trumpy is evil.

7. Hey Lively - Get behind me Satan

But turning round, he said to Peter, Get away behind me, Satan; thou art an offence to me, for thy mind is not on the things that are of God, but on the things that are of men

[Orsino]

8. This is a call to worship a cardboard cut-out of Trump.

"Who are you gonna believe? Me or your lying eyes?"

9. holy smokes, "man of God"?

Wait....wait a minute, this just in:

I've just received confirmation that Mr. Lively, in a daring effort to escape an invading, alien horde, has converted his mostly sulfuric dioxide composition into an inert gas known as Blovinium, and placed himself, at the ready, into the right rear tire of tRumps favourite golf cart, affectionately referred to as Miss Molly, where he shall remain until further orders.

It has been confirmed. I kid you not

11. These idiots would crucify Jesus Christ himself if he returned to Planet Earth

And would hand the keys to the kingdom over to Satan with glee.

I'm not religious, but they are, and they're not confused, they're fucking hypocrites.

13. They'd also praise Hitler too.

If I remember from the few times I actually took a Bible study class, Jesus said "the dark one shall pose as a creature of light". I think that these dolts should memorize that passage and take a look at their leader, but they probably won't.

12. Kiss ass.

His definition of what are important and essential things, falls far short of the mark.

[Ilsa]

14. The koolaid is being made and drunk and pushed

on a bigger scale than ever. Up is down and light is dark if IQ45 says it is.

15. Wow

and people (like him) call LGBTQ persons mentally ill?

[Major Nikon]

16. I just got off the red phone to the almighty and He says Scott is full of shit

17. This is without a doubt the most

hilarious thing I have read today and I am a fairly humble person. However, this is hysterical.
