Supporting Trump, now a religion?

Is this your nonsense response because you don't understand what I am talking about? I thought what I said was simple enough to grasp, even for a layperson.

I think that's his nonsense response because he doesn't have anything better. Even he knows that tRump hasn't passed a single piece of legislation that could account for a drop in unemployment numbers.

Hold the phone! So we attribute all the good news to our thankfully depart previous president because the present leader has not been in office long enough to accomplish anything,
Yes, economically that is how it happens. No president would be able to make a large enough dent in their first few months to where unemployment would be affected.

but we attribute all the bad in the world to this guy who 'hasn't been in office long enough to accomplish anything"? Can anyone say 'double standard'?
Hardly a double standard, as his promises, intentions, proposed bills, statements, and - most importantly - his actions on Twitter have already caused these things to either happen, or be a clear indication of what is to come.

Can you actually refute any of these? Can you provide how he has helped the economy? More importantly, can you give any reason as to why we should be thankful that Hiliary didn't win?

The above is pretty much 100% false. The Founding members of our nation made it explicitly clear, that the US was deliberately, and with especial intention, NOT a christian nation.

The did no such thing---WE hold these truth too be self evident that all men are created equal endowed by their CREATOR.

Moreover your blatant claim of "god given principles" is patently false-- the principles on which the US is founded are much-much older than Xianity. They trace back to well before christianity had been invented by Constantine.

How silly. Constantine did not invent Christianity. Christianity was developed long before he lived.

Well, it does appear that lots of 'Murricans are deathly afraid of a Mighty Woman. They prefer women to be meek, quiet, and if at all possible, pregnant...

Not in the Constitution, silly person.

False. That "bible" that you never read, was created out of a large assortment of myths and legends, by Constantine's select little commettee.

Prior to that? Nobody called themselves "christian"--- not how YOU mean the word-- because the religion did not exist as it is TODAY.

You had literally hundreds (if not thousands) of independent little groupings, each going their own separate (and often distinct) ways-- each with a piece of some dogma they held most dear.

Most of that was tossed on the rubbish heap by Constantine's little cadre of Special Favorites.

I see your knowledge of biblical history is as incomplete as your knowledge of the bible itself.

Sad.

The constitution our founding father penned was not the only thing they wrote, silly person.

How silly. l Constantine played on part in determining the canon of scripture.

Prior to that? Nobody called themselves "christian"--- not how YOU mean the word-- because the religion did not exist as it is TODAY.

Even sillier. Red Acts 11:26 on the book you have never read.

You had literally hundreds (if not thousands) of independent little groupings, each going their own separate (and often distinct) ways-- each with a piece of some dogma they held most dear.

But these little groups did not prevail, not even Luther. Try reading the history of the canon instead of myths and legends.

Most of that was tossed on the rubbish heap by Constantine's little cadre of Special Favorites.

Sad.

Not only are you ignorant of the Bible, you are even more ignorant of it history.

You just resorted to the RW talking point. "Creator" has no reference to god or a religion. The founding fathers were mostly deists. Deists view nature as their 'creator.'

You must understand that RW media plays the religion card and lies about the founding of the nation so you continue supporting the corporate republican party. It's a trick.

Well, then there's also this:

"The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.”
—John Adams

"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus by the Supreme Being in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter. ... But we may hope that the dawn of reason and freedom of thought in these United States will do away with all this artificial scaffolding..."
--Thomas Jefferson

How can you tell the difference?


Only by faith alone.

One clue is to look how their are described in the writing of their religion. Then determine if a true God would do what it says the did.

One clue for me is to see if their writings are beyond man's ability to conceive. The God of the Bible tells us to love our enemies. As far as I can tell, Christianity is the only religion requiring its followers to do that.

Christianity is the only religion that teaches we don 't have to be good to get to heaven.

It teaches to be strong we must become weak, to gain our life we must lose it. IMO, both those ideas are beyond mans ability to conceive.

That is a good determining assertion. I much prefer the Gods that are honest, and live up to their shortcomings, rather than the god that acts like Trump and goes on about how great and perfect he is.

The God of the Bible tells us to love our enemies.
And yet, he hates his enemies, and those who disagree with him or insult him. Double standard?

Christianity is the only religion that teaches we don 't have to be good to get to heaven.
LOL, no it's not.
