Trump rallies evangelical supporters: 'We have God on our side'

[spanone]

President Trump rallied evangelical supporters in Miami on Friday, positioning himself as a champion of religious communities while ripping his Democratic opponents as “radical” leftists pursuing an “extreme, anti-religious and socialist” agenda.

“Evangelicals, Christians of every denomination and believers of every faith, have never had a greater champion in the White House — not even close — than you have right now,” Trump said at a campaign event launching his “Evangelicals for Trump” coalition Friday evening.

“Together, we’re not only are we defending our Constitutional rights, we’re also defending religion itself, which is under siege,” Trump said. “Every Democrat candidate running for president is trying to punish religious believers and silence our churches and our pastors.”

The event at King Jesus Ministry in Florida came weeks after Christianity Today, a leading evangelical magazine, called for Trump’s impeachment and removal from office, sparking a fierce response from the president and his allies.

4. don forgot about 'thou shalt not lie'

“Every Democrat candidate running for president is trying to punish religious believers and silence our churches and our pastors.” (says the bloated fuck)

3. Why are these "churches " and "ministries "

tax exempt if they hold political rallies for the Dumpster?

[dawg]

5. Because the right doesn't believe in fairness, and the left ...

tries to bend over backwards not to be perceived as infringing on religious liberty.

That leaves no one willing to enforce the law.

[Ohiogal]

7. Then, I wish

some churches would start hosting rallies for the Dem candidates

I’ll bet the Unitarian church would do it.

[dawg]

8. But the right *is* willing to enforce the law against the religious left.

So it's definitely a heads they win, tails we lose situation.

6. As if that creature is in any way religious.

10. NO god is not on your side...not when you have children in cages, separate babies from their mothers

...not when seven children have died under your charge at refugee detention centers; where there are reports of neglect, abuse and deprivation of basic needs to children, men and women. What a self-righteous hypocrite, hypocrites all! Here's a few NT excerpts that come to mind:

Whatever you do to the least of my brothers, so you do unto me” (Matthew 25: 31-46)

Timothy 6:10 to be: For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

Luke 18:18-23 (with the context of vss. 24-30 also)
[18] A certain ruler asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?"
[19] "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good -- except God alone. [20] You know the commandments: 'Do not commit adultery, do not murder, do not steal, do not give false testimony, honor your father and mother.'"
[21] "All these I have kept since I was a boy," he said.
[22] When Jesus heard this, he said to him, "You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me."
[23] When he heard this, he became very sad, because he was a man of great wealth.
[24] Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! [25] Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

12. Pretend to speak for God

And God just might kick your ass. This is such smarmy sanctimonious foolishness. Bring on the lightning bolts oh mighty smiter.
