Some people are sooo stupid. How stupid are they?

A caller to C-SPAN this morning:

“Mark my words, there’s going to be a red wave this November.
And Donald Trump will be re-elected in 2020.

Do you know why?

Because God wants Trump to be President.”

to infer that God is a moron.

However, according to a cleric I know, God does have a sense of humor.

Life is harder on stupid people, so I have compassion. And boy, oh boy, is that caller's world ever about to come crashing down when all of the dirt on Spanky comes out!

is preachers telling their congregants they know what a supreme being wants or does not want, or does or does not do.

Perhaps the second most cruel is suggesting that giving money to them or a church is part of the pathway to prosperity or an afterlife.

Any human on this planet that says whatever god or gods happen to exist in the universe give a damn about life on this spec of dust we're on is either poorly informed, insane or a criminal in my view - after 70 years of both participation, and then subsequent observation. Typically, it really is a form of evolutionary human mental illness fueled by unwarranted fears and there will be strains of it as long as we survive on earth.

If god really wants DT to be President then why does make DT so deranged? Why doesn't god change the constitution and memory so we think he is legitimate? Why doesn't god get rid of the Mueller investigation and wipe out the evidence?

Must be because god is a failure.

I rarely encounter people who "voted their wallet."

It's a God-the-white-guy-in-the-clouds racist dog whistle for some.
