I prefer to think of him as the Anti-Christ, but I am sure that is a bridge too far for them. Baby steps

I mean trump clearly embodies the false idol imposter figure from their Christian mythology. It can’t hurt to frame it that way, and maybe it will convince a few evangelicals not to vote for him

These kinds of small finally someone wants to prove some of my stereotypes of white Christian’s coalitions is very promising imo. There’s a Mormons for Harris group along similar lines too.
Need more people to validate me pulling back from my asshole atheist phase by taking back the voice of belief from bigots and con artists.
Still an atheist, just not an asshole to every believer if I don’t have to be.

False prophets with false profits.

What’s sad is that being religious can be a sort of ‘choose your own adventure’ scenario.
Props to these evangelicals for speaking out, but anecdotally, I’ve seen on my own social media feed a Christian justifying support for Trump via a three-minute supercut of him simply *claiming* to be a Christian.

As an evangelical Christian who is planning on voting for Harris, this is very true, and I say it all the time amongst my Christian friends. Many don’t see it, but – funnily enough – it’s the ones most serious about their faith that do.

Boy, if you want to see some heated Twitter threads, check out the replies to anything Evangelicals for Harris tweets. They’re all calling each other apostates and heretics for straying from the one true Church of the Orange Father.

I heartily support evangelicals denouncing Trump.
But… something is slightly amiss here.
Trump is not a prophet of any kind. Well… I mean not in a way that’s germane to denunciations from evangelicals. He often predicts doom and gloom whenever anyone doesn’t worship him sufficiently. And then there’s the whole weirdness of having to alter hurricane forecasts.
But in the context of evangelicals, Trump is much better cast as an idol. A fat golden calf. I believe this is more appropriate because it puts the focus where it really should be – the idolaters. Trump is not a pied piper as much a useful idiot a thousand mice grabbed to march before them. Evangelicals should not be solely denouncing Trump but anyone and everyone who *supports* Trump.
And… well… if you want to go there, Trump is absolutely **an** antichrist. The New Testament authors more often used the term to refer to many antichrists, not one single figure. And Trump absolutely is this. He is a walking poster-child of the seven deadly sins. One doesn’t need to stop here either. Trump rather eerily resembles the figure discussed in Revelations. This is what some would view as **the** antichrist.

Hi Jesus, these are the christian Rape Worshippers I was telling you about. Oh you already told us about then in the book of Revelations? Oh wow they ‘will be eternally damned for worshipping the beast and blasphemer , they will be in wonder as he suffers a mortal wound to the head but it heals? Oh they will wear his name upon their heads on their forehead?’

Evangelical made their bed. They should lay in it and reap the benefit of dwindling membership. Conveniently coming around when you no longer see benefits isn’t a good strategy. I won’t forget your silence after the Dobbs decision. Screw you!

Hey Evangelicals for Harris, thank you for your support.
Also, fuck you.
Have a nice day.

Part of me thinks Evangelicals truly believed Trump was going to bring on the rapture.
The part of me that overrules that part is certain a group really rich and powerful evangelicals just wanted to buy themselves a president and get things like legalized rape by white males a thing in this country.

What is that, like a voting block of 17? Did they decide that throwing in with saintly Trump wasn’t going to be a good bet? If Trump was the clear leader, we’d never hear from this crowd.

Only the most obvious false prophet of all time. When they taught us about this stuff in church, I always imagined they’d be cleverly disguised.

I’m not at all religious, but aren’t there quotes in the ‘bible’ about the blindly worshipping someone who turns out to actually be the anti-‘christ’?

How about not being a prophet at all
but does he weigh the same as a duck?
You can just leave the Prophet part out.
