They cannot believe that Trump lost.
It was ordained by God. All of their favorite Evangelicals made public statements that Trump was going to win. They were so certain of it.
But he lost. God sure works in mysterious ways, they must be thinking?
Why would He want those child-molesting cannibals to win?
The only logical answer for them is that it was stolen.
First of all, it is the utmost arrogance to assume that God wants your candidate to win.
They have lost their marbles.

(5,722 posts)Or denied its existence or laughed about the ridiculous "steps" they were taking to protect their followers? None of that took, either. But they don't wanna talk about that now for some reason, except to go the "GOD'S WILL LOL" route.
I really wanted to post Kenneth Copeland Ministries's "Judgment Is Executed on COVID-19" video, but refuse to give him the traffic. Proceed of one's own free will.

(3,653 posts)I figure their god isn't so powerful if he allowed the election to be stolen. After all, he had decreed that Trump would win and now it looks like maybe he didn't, probably because some stronger god stole it. So I'm thinking, if I were them, I'd get a better god. One who actually has control of things down here. Ah, right! Too bad, so sad, people. You picked the wrong god, a loser god. Better luck next time.
kentuck
(111,094 posts)Maybe a loss is really a win and a win is really a loss, in the big picture?
Maybe God is thinking about all those hungry children that Trump has left in his wake?
Maybe God is more concerned about saving the world than saving the Republican Party or the Cult Leader?
Biophilic
(3,653 posts)Certainly, if I were a god I would have better things to do. I'm hoping that any God worth their salt would have better things to do.

Unfortunately for me, what's his name and his silly lawsuits get under my skin much faster than I could wish. I'm really ready for some unexciting times.

(1,327 posts)I was just being silly. But really, take a breath. We got this. It's all just noise. Love your dog, cat, children, whoever is important to you. Today, this very day, what happened to you personally that was horrible? Right now, this moment, you are fine. And this moment is the only one that matters. It's going to be alright. Believe that.

(3,653 posts)Thanks for the reminder. Sometimes I've been to complacent and let things slide that shouldn't. It's never an easy balance, less so the last 4 years.

They go to church. They pray religiously. They didn't ask for much. Just let Trump win the presidency one more time. And God said "No"?

..."as you did it to one of the least of these, my brethren, you did it to me." (Matthew 25:40)
Guess Jesus didn't like what they did to "the least of these" in the border cages.
Wasn't too fond of children being taken away, either.

PatSeg
(47,429 posts)but he then lost, it must be the work of the Devil! I suppose that would also mean that all of us Democrats and Independents who voted for Biden must be part of the Devil's cult.
Many of these people really, really want the End Times to come, so they will see everything through that lens. And if things don't quite go the way they'd prophesized, they'll probably help it along.
ProfessorGAC
(65,021 posts)...that satan is more powerful than god?
That question would get their stomach churning.
PatSeg
(47,429 posts)On one hand, god is all powerful, but they often make the devil sound equally powerful. I guess it depends on what they're trying to accomplish. A lot of Christian teachings tend to be very selective and often murky. Sadly, too many Christians bend scripture to fit their agenda. When it suits them, some passages are to be taken literally, other times, it is symbolic or god works in mysterious ways and no one can know the mind of god. It seems to me, if you don't know the answer, best to say nothing at all.

Adam & Eve were leading a life no better than hamsters in a cage. Eve only knew what Adam taught her. God is omniscient, so the only logical explanation was that God wanted to free them from their Habitrail existence. Eve set mankind free.

They will continue to make trump a "minor deity" until he is completely unmasked.....until they see that he is the same as the infamous Jim Jones....until all his crimes are exposed and he sits in "the doc" to confess to his crimes.
Without this, Biden and any future President will be gaslighted by trump's spectre, or, even worse, he rises from this defeat to perpetrate even more horrors on the American public.
They can praise him as their own, personal messiah, but they will never stop believing (in) him until he's exposed completely for the crook he is.

Their tiny cerebrums haven't been able to reconcile his losing with their theology, and the cognitive dissonance is driving them insane. They're going to need industrial-grade binkies in the coming months to be able to function in civil society.

Then he is not omnipotent,
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
