I’m not a very religious person. But if Jesus (the human being) could see what his followers have become, he would be disgusted. I don’t know how they can read the bible and say that Trump is the sort of person it heralded. There is a major cognitive dissonance in the miswired brains of these ‘evangelicals’.
That is the “beauty” of that book. It is self-contradictory.
It can and has been used to justify anything. Almost everyone reads just the bits they like and ignore the rest.
Taken as a whole it is on par for what you would expect from 2 millennia old shepherds. Not some divinely inspired work of absolute truth.

With a blindfold in the shape of their favorite preacher. You can make any book say anything, if you only read the parts that say what you want.
That’s the neat part: they have never opened that book.
“His followers” you say it as if all are discosting, perhaps you havent meet the right ones?
Trupo and GOD? hahha ruck no, “give the cesar what is for the cesar and God what is for God” keeping religion and state separed.
There are some good people that are religious :)
