WWJD?

The answer to that question, my friend, is blowing in the polluted wind.

Jesus elected trump so that we can burn coal and protect the fetus!

Evangelicals know that trump is doing god's work.  Yes, that trump. Doing god's work.


A book is coming out soon on trump's faith.  Yes, that trump's faith.


david brody writes in a NY Times opinion piece about trump being a man of faith.  Yes, dammit, that same trump.
Donald Trump is on a spiritual voyage that has accelerated in recent years, thanks to evangelicals who have employed the biblical mandate of sharing and showing God’s love to him rather than shunning him.
God does not choose to work through people like me, but prefers scumbags like trump.  God's will hath no why, indeed!

brody writes about the “most evangelical-friendly United States president ever.”:
This president’s effect on our cultural norms has been shocking. His critics would call it appalling; evangelicals say it’s immensely satisfying: They’ve seen a culture deteriorate quickly in the past decade, and they’re looking for a bold culture warrior to fight for them. Showing that God does indeed have a sense of humor, He gave them Mr. Trump. Yet in God’s perfection, it’s a match made in heaven. Mr. Trump and evangelicals share a disdain for political correctness, a world seen through absolutes and a desire to see an America that embraces Judeo-Christian values again rather than rejecting them.
I had no idea that god hates political correctness.

trump's religious assistant for the environment, scott pruitt, talked to davod brody about doing god's work at the EPA:
Pruitt believes God commands us to take care of the environment and that also means to use what He has provided. "The biblical world view with respect to these issues is that we have a responsibility to manage and cultivate, harvest the natural resources that we've been blessed with to truly bless our fellow mankind."
Drill, baby, drill!  The good lord provided coal and oil for our benefit.

How did pruitt know what god wanted?
"I spent a couple years just earnestly praying, asking the question that I don't think we ask enough, 'God what do you want to do with me?'" Pruitt said. "Really getting into our prayer closet, seeking His heart, asking what He wants to do in our lives."
And what happened?
"It was actually Isaiah chapter one that I was reading through at that time that really spoke to my heart," he continued. "Specifically, in the latter part of chapter one where God says to Israel, 'I will restore your leaders as in the days of old, your judges as at the beginning.' And there was just a desire that welled up in me to say, 'I want to be like those leaders that we had at our founding, at the inception of our country.'"
And these are the same people complaining that Iran is a theocracy!

Jeez!

You can fool some people all the time.
You can also choose to be fooled all the time.

Many of the 63 million, including past commenters, choose to be fooled all the time? Or, are they fools for real?
