I'm still not clear what his followers considered impressive about his reaction. Being shot at, posing stupid after safety, & whining about it - after most likely head-butting a podium or maybe getting grazed - is hardly a showing. We've had far more wounded people show up to vote against him. Not to mention other historical events like TDR being shot, giving a 2 hour speech, then apologized for cutting things short because he had to go to the hospital. Pose or no, Trump was hardly a showing.
Here's a way to turn it back on em, "God's been keeping Kamala completely safe from even an attempt on her life, I guess he just doesn't like your guy as much".
If anything it's a sign that their god wants them to choose to reject Trump instead of just having him killed off but they're failing that test in record numbers. Lol.
Amen to.that. Any god that would intervene to save that worthless piece of filth, but not intervene to save the innocent children and teachers of Uvalde has my utter and eternal contempt.
God didn't intervene with the Holocaust. God didn't intervene at the Rwandan genocide. God didn't intervene at any other genocide. God didn't protect children from missile attacks. Yeah god sucks.
It's almost like god doesn't actually exist... (saying that, earth and the entire universe is amazing, and the question of why it exists, and how it was created does lead one in a particular direction, but not in the direction of all the man-made gods and their BS)
General reminder that god no longer interferes in mortal life and 'only helps those that help themselves.' Meaning that if anything DID intervene, it was the Devil in an attempt to spread more hatred and discord.
There are a lot of Christian’s that throw out common sense and logic, and just “let Jesus take the wheel”. You have to try and fix your problems. God gave us big brains and insatiable curiosity for a reason.
Well, Kamala and Walz (and Biden and Obama) LISTEN to their security detail's advice and don't do rallies in open fields with handy rooftops outside the security perimeter, or go golfing on private courses.
from my time when i was christian, im fairly sure satan is the prometheus of the abrahamic beliefs. just like when they dropped the polytheism for monotheism and combined traits into yahweh. im sure they did the same with negative traits into another god. regardless of that. if all these 'christians' are going to heaven or just god does whats in the bible. id rather be in hell. because god is no better, but worse than even satan.
Satan is just a generic name for an adversary. The various satans in the Bible weren’t meant to be the same character.
But Christianity has had almost 2000 years to bury the Bible under a mountain of extra dogma. Peter, Paul, and James would probably really hate what Christianity has turned into. And Jesus likely would’ve disagreed with most of their additions too.
Listening to Christians describing why God doesn't just show himself to us is like listening to people who try and justify why they didn't ride on the eagles in Lord of the Rings.
God is like that science experiment cat and is the foundational principle upon which everything exists, the unknown. The closer we try to LOOK, the further the meaning gets and the clearer the picture becomes
We got so loaded on hubris most people think that "God" would take a human form when galaxies exist probably teeming with life that didnt develope religions to hate each other
God is creation and destruction, the universe and whatever may be beyond, we'll never know
There was also a firefighter killed at that Trump rally. Didn't god care about him, Tomi? "Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer fire company in Pennsylvania, has been identified as the victim who was shot and killed amidst an assassination attempt on Donald Trump on Saturday." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/jul/14/corey-comperatore-killed-trump-rally
I get the message, but forgive me if I don't give two shits about a person who wanted immigrants, liberals, and trans people killed or put in camps. Corey was more than okay with fucking over others for his own benefit. A fitting end for him. I'm just glad his kids didn't get hurt.
The icing on the cake is, Trump did a tribute for him at a rally where he hugged a fire fighter's uniform said to have been Comperatore's uniform.....only to see that they absolutely butchered his name on the uniform, clearly showing that Trump and his team don't give a fuck about him but gladly use his death to boost their campaign....for about 5 minutes.
RINO here myself. My views have changed so I dont think I would be considered republican anymore. I just like to say I am still and argue with the Magats
After trump lost the election. Seeing how he and the magats threw a tantrum, invaded the capital. got rid of RvW and many other things. I saw things for what they were so was never a die hard republican. I felt the democrats views were more on point for me. Im not even christian anymore. I stand behind everyones rights.
For real right? Like dude, instead of using a middle man just give him a fucking stroke at a rally and have him shit all over himself, but don’t kill him because death is too good for Trump. Let him be rendered unable to communicate at all, bedridden, incontinent with the ability the underStand everything going on around him and in a care facility with a broken tv stuck on NBC
This is kinda the right answer. Evangelicals believe that their prayers make things happen. They also believe the get punished for "allowing" sin in the country. So by definition , if bad things happen it's because evangelicals did not do enough to please their god and he is punishing them.
And if God has a perfect plan, then that whole bullshit about free will is exactly that - bullshit. Ergo, he's a nasty, unloving, downright hateful, megalomaniacal psychopath. And God's no better...
