At the annual Values Voter Summit (VVS) in Washington this weekend, former congresswoman Michele Bachmann, who serves on Donald Trump’s evangelical advisory board, said in an interview with me on SiriusXM Progress that Donald Trump is now a “committed believer” of Jesus Christ and a “man of faith” who has “asked God for help and wisdom.”

Attendee Joel Brind of New Hamburg, New York, a college biology professor, explained that Jesus would have tweeted like Trump.

“If there were twitter then, [Jesus] would have used it in a similar way, I think,” Brind said.

I wouldn’t restrict it to just [Trump’s] tweets. His communications in general are tactically [emulating Christ]. I don’t want to be misinterpreted to say that everything he says is equivalent to gospel. I mean, he’s on the right side, and his tactics are more reminiscent of Christ, of the tactics that Christ used when he walked the earth and which he admonished his followers to use also.

1. Jesus had hair like wool and feet the color of bronze. So no I don't think so.

[nancy1942]

3. Are you insinuating that Jesus was not WHITE? Blasphemy!

[jmowreader]

18. Come on Nancy, be real...

In the words of one of my troops, "how do you come from Africa and be white?"

[Kaleva]

39. Jesus came from God. Thus the blonde hair and blue eyes.

[underthematrix]

42. pink/whitish skin and blue eyes are recessive and cannot reproduce people of color

However, black people can reproduce the entire the phenotype spectrum

[underthematrix]

41. yep

[nancy1942]

2. My GAWD.

Golly! Perhaps Trump is Jesus. Since he's so darned Christ-like and all.

[Angry Dragon]

12. you could be right

[DavidDvorkin]

4. It always surprises me when grownups talk about such absurdities

Physically grownup, anyway. And given his profession, presumably reasonably intelligent and not suffering from dementia. And yet religious babble spews forth from him.

[LongTomH]

46. And this dude is a biology professor!!!!!

His old school should ask for his diploma back!!! I'm sure he's a creationist (What else in that group of crazies!!!)

[DavidDvorkin]

47. Yeah

How can he keep truth and superstitious nonsense side by side in his mind?

[Ken Burch]

5. I don't remember the Sermon on the Mount ending with "Sad!"

Or the part where "The Meek" were blamed for blowing out the budget.

[LuvLoogie]

10. That's fucking hilarious, Ken!

[Initech]

15. /thread

[edbermac]

31. No the Sermon had something to do about cheese makers.

[TexasBushwhacker]

38. Trump would end it with "Believe me!" N/t

[MineralMan]

44. Believe me!

As in,

"I'm here to tell you that blessed are the rich, for they shall pay no inheritance tax, believe me!"

[True Dough]

6. Jesus too would have turned facts

into whine?

[Phoenix61]

11. +1

[Initech]

7. Why are evangelicals biology teachers?

[AJT]

20. Yeah, how does that work?

[Doreen]

27. He does not believe in science he just needed a damn job that paid enough

for his evil tithe.

[enough]

8. Well that entire article proves beyond a doubt that these people are insane. NT

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

9. The guy is an antichoice nutbag who has been pushing the discredited claim

that abortion causes breast cancer. http://discovermagazine.com/2003/feb/feathated He's a professor at Baruch University, and he also sells nutritional supplements. https://sweetamine.com/about-dr-brind/

[janx]

14. Sounds like "Doctor Mercola"

[ProudLib72]

13. ...

[sinkingfeeling]

16. What the hell church and Bible has this guy been involved in?

Not using the same Bible (NT) that I read.

[demigoddess]

19. from my experience, they don't actually read the Bible!

they just pound it every now and then.

[Takket]

17. If I had one strategy I would suggest the DNC deploy nationwide.......

it would be for Democrats to speak out on the heretical perversion of Christianity that that has taken place in this country... .after all our views are far more in line with the teaching of Christ than anything the GOP has to offer.

[dhol82]

21. WHAT are these people smoking?

I might like to know the name of their supplier.

[Crunchy Frog]

37. Probably try his supplements and find out?

[icymist]

22. If Jesus had Twitter he wouldn't use it as he would be too bust feeding the hungry,

clothing the poor, finding homes for the homeless, and warning people away from the destructive interpretation of scripture by the value voter people.

[icymist]

23. Who is this guy? From Wiki:

Joel Lewis Brind is a professor of human biology and endocrinology at Baruch College, City University of New York since 1986, a research biochemist since 1981, and CEO of Natural Food Science, a maker of glycine supplement products founded in 2010. Brind is a leading advocate of the abortion-breast cancer hypothesis, which posits that abortion increases the risk of breast cancer.[1] This idea is rejected by mainstream medical professional organizations and there is overwhelming evidence in the peer-reviewed medical literature debunking it.[2][3][4][5][6] Brind is openly contemptuous of mainstream medical professional organizations and journals, accusing them of conducting a deliberate cover-up[7] with the goal of "protecting the abortion industry."[8] Brind asserts that the National Cancer Institute "is just another corrupt federal agency like the IRS and the NSA."[9]

Early life, education, and religious conversion
Brind grew up in Laurelton, Queens, where he decided he wanted to become a biochemist at the age of 10 after reading an issue of Life magazine where the cover story described the discoveries scientists had recently made about the inner workings of the cell, using electron microscopy.[1] He has a bachelor's degree from Yale (1971)[10] and a Ph.D. from New York University in biochemistry, immunology and physiology.[11] Four years after receiving his PhD in 1981, Brind had a spiritual awakening, after which he converted to Christianity,[12] and decided to try to use science to pursue what he saw as a "noble task" of discouraging women from having abortions.[1]

24. Apparently Jesus was a liar, a rapist, and a con man.

Who knew?

[edbermac]

25. Yeah, JC would have loved to tweet about pussygrabbing Mary Magdalene.

[frogmarch]

26. Well, God tweets.

Forget Jesus. God has several Twitter pages. Here's one.

There is not a single human being on earth that’s as good at anything as Donald Trump is good at being an asshole.

[spanone]

28. so, he's comparing Jesus to a heartless asshole?

[NightWatcher]

29. Christianity has become a cult. A journey that took 30+ years.

I expect Franklin Graham to get holed up in a compound with guns and 14 year old girls any day now.

It’s a twisted death cult.

[Turbineguy]

30. Hmmm....

I always thought that biology was a science. I guess that's not the case for everybody.

[Thomas Hurt]

32. when did Trump start tweeting in Aramaic?

[NastyRiffraff]

48. Come on, everybody knows Jesus spoke English n/t

[Kablooie]

33. They can convince themselves of anything.

That’s how they remain Christian in the first place.

[Ferrets are Cool]

34. These idiots see and hear what they want to hear.

It's maddening.

[defacto7]

35. Then thank God I'm atheist

[Crunchy Frog]

36. Jesus would throw semiliterate Twitter tantrums,

Namecall, throw around schoolyard taunts at anyone who he thinks has slighted him, and make crude threats.

These *Christians* must have a pretty fucking low opinion of Jesus to think he'd behave in that fashion.

They must teach their kids that playground bullying is sacred.

[Kaleva]

40. If Jesus was on crack and had Twitter, he would have tweeted like Trump

[struggle4progress]

43. Is this the same Joel Brind who argues that abortions increase the risk of breast cancer?

Is this the same Joel Brind who sells glycine as a dietary supplement?

[Orrex]

45. Brind has recreated Jesus in Trump's image? LOL!

A more horrific vision of hell one can hardly imagine.
