The Cult has jumped the shark.

Last edited Sun Nov 22, 2020, 05:09 PM - Edit history (1)

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.

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.

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.

They have...collectively and individually.

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.
