The Sermon on the Mount is inclusive -- of those who followed Jesus and those who didn't. It's beatitudes are practiced by people of all faiths (or no faith) and background.

The GOP prosperity Christian version of the sermon is a touch different.

The GOP Beatitudes are simple and evident in their every act and utterance:

Blessed are the rich, and even more blessed are the filthy rich.
Blessed are the wealth makers.
Blessed are the arrogant who seek after wealth and power.
Etc.

This Christianity rewards the elect with wealth and success because, after all, Jesus wants the elect, His elect, to be super-comfortable and not have to follow any rules or care about the poor or the sick or the imprisoned -- who all cost money better spent on yachts and vessels of gold and, for the males, the sweetness of lechery exercised to the fullest.

So, yes, in this sense, these bastards are Christian, indeed.

The bad part about it is that we'll need so many fact checkers that the employment numbers will skyrocket, and tRump will never shut up about it.
