I am curious to hear how Trump supporters who call themselves Christians will explain supporting his words and behavior at the recent National Prayer Breakfast.
You know, the one where he said: "...Is that an appointed position? I don't know if you're Democrat or Republican, but I'm appointing you for another year. The hell with it." "The hell with it"? At a PRAYER breakfast?
And then went on to speak about how terrible Arnold Schwarzenegger is doing as his replacement on "The Apprentice", how low his ratings are compared to how high Donald's were, and how they should pray for Arnold to get better ratings (Trump is still listed as executive producer of "The Apprentice") ...

Seriously, how can you guys support that behavior? I would really like to hear from you.

Really? That's your serious answer?

Further, that is far from all I could say regarding my opinion of Trump's actions. However, I decided to address one -- just one issue -- to see if I could get an intelligent, thoughtful answer. Guess not so far...

That's the way most Christians act! Hypocrisy rears it's ugly head again.

I teach in a public school where I hear f-bombs dropped daily. I wouldn't even have noticed the use of the word hell and I don't think many people would.

Why do you care?

Are you even a Christian?

You're asking the Trumpettes to have a reasonable, intelligent conversation based on logic? You're wasting your time. It won't happen here.

They are too enthralled with their blind devotion to he Orange God to even be capable of having such a discussion. It'll only be a matter of time before one of them comes in here, drops the "fake news" card, and vanishes.

Just watch, it'll happen any minute now.

On this,

"the hell with it" "Oh my god." this is just a cultural indoctrination. Like saying, "Jesus f*cking Christ!" Or "Me cago en la leche!" It's just one of those things we absorbed from the world around us.

At any rate, it’s an expression and just like most expressions, has strayed far from it’s roots.

This said, I think Trump should seriously consider working on his image as the most powerful man in the world. (It has nothing to do with Christianity, however. lol)

I voted for him because I think he is a lesser of two evils and I believe election is a gamble. I hope he can keep his promises. If not, he would be gone in four years.

You are wasting your time trying to get zealots to speak any word of ill against their Dear Leader.


The dumber he is, the more they like it.
