Trump is an atheist who is known to mock evangelical christians behind their backs.
Trump’s Bible Just Might Earn Him Eternal Damnation

It is funny to see them suddenly worried about ChristianityThey should worry about their relationship to God more and worry about Trump's relationship less.
But it says a lot about you that you are devoted and worshipful of an immoral tangerine sleazebag

Trump Secretly Mocks His Christian Supporters
Former aides say that in private, the president has spoken with cynicism and contempt about believers.
One day in 2015, Donald Trump beckoned Michael Cohen, his longtime confidant and personal attorney, into his office. Trump was brandishing a printout of an article about an Atlanta-based megachurch pastor trying to raise $60 million from his flock to buy a private jet. Trump knew the preacher personally—Creflo Dollar had been among a group of evangelical figures who visited him in 2011 while he was first exploring a presidential bid. During the meeting, Trump had reverently bowed his head in prayer while the pastors laid hands on him. Now he was gleefully reciting the impious details of Dollar’s quest for a Gulfstream G650.
Trump seemed delighted by the “scam,” Cohen recalled to me, and eager to highlight that the pastor was “full of shit.”
“They’re all hustlers,” Trump said.

What he really thinks: Trump mocks Christians, calls them "fools" and "schmucks"
In Disloyal, published today, Cohen shows how Trump is a master deceiver. He quotes Trump calling Christianity and its religious practices "bullshit," then soon after masterfully posing as a fervent believer. In truth, Cohen writes, Trump's religion is unbridled lust for money and power at any cost to others.

Eternity is a fucking long time.
What is the rationale for one earning eternal damnation for the transgressions,
no matter how egregious,
perpetrated in one very short, finite lifetime?
I personally don't believe in any kind of existence after the cessation of physical life,
but if I did, I'd find it very hard to believe in eternal damnation.
Even if an Adolph Hitler got a million years of afterlife torture for each innocent Jew he had murdered,
that would still be a spec in terms of eternity.

....because, all that matters is the size of one's bank account. Notice that Trump as spent up to 100M in legal fees...and none of it was his money. LOL

Trump spent $76 million over last two years on attorneys as legal troubles mount ahead of election
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/poli...p-as-legal-troubles-drain-coffers/ar-BB1kPkR5
https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/03/27/us/politics/trump-cases-legal-fund.html
Since leaving office in 2021, former President Donald J. Trump has spent more than $100 million on lawyers and other costs related to fending off various investigations, indictments and his coming criminal trials, according to a New York Times review of federal records.
The remarkable sum means that Mr. Trump has averaged more than $90,000 a day in legal-related costs for more than three years — none of it paid for with his own money.
Instead, the former president has relied almost entirely on donations made in an attempt to fight the results of the 2020 election.

Trump even defrauds his own fake charities, clearly suggesting that any moral imperatives from the Sermon on the Mount were not learned by Trump.

It's how the Republicans are now fleecing Americans by using religion and autocratic worship.
I did notice how many Trump supporters were here posting insults and curses on Easter Sunday, rather than attending service on the holiest day of the Christian liturgical calendar.
Bibles being so hard to come by for $60.

They consider Jesus to be a Liberal so they refuse to follow in his path.

With his legal bills now over $100M, there's a rumor he'll start selling Torahs.
You would think that Trump would take the time to read the Constitution and get a bible expert in to tell him about it. When he talks about it in his select right-wing interviews, he blows it bigly. almost comically. When asked what books or passages hit him directly, he says they all do. When asked his favorite part, he says "all of them". Trump is a clown without values.

One pigfucking orangutan is bad enough, but 74,000,000 trumpanzees loving his act as if he were 1959 Sinatra at the Sands
is what should really scare the shit out of us.
We see how obvious a looney tune he is with barely a casual glance,
and here we have tens of millions of people not only taking him dead seriously
but ready to go to the wall for him.
Can a nation that's gotten this unbelievably fucked up possibly survive?
Should it?

[FONT=&]I have vivid memories of then-President Donald Trump standing in front of St. John’s Episcopal Church, right across from the White House, using the Bible as a prop. Ironically and revealingly, Trump looked uncomfortable handling the Holy Scriptures and ended up holding the Bible upside down. Had he actually read the Bible, it would have turned his worldview upside down.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]And now he is hawking his new Bible–the Bless the USA Bible–for $59.99 (more than most Bibles cost). Of course, he gets all the proceeds. He launched his new venture in the middle of Holy Week for Christians in the lead-up to Jesus’ Friday crucifixion and Sunday resurrection. In the commercial video Trump made to sell his new Bible, he spoke explicitly about Holy Week, Easter, Jesus, God, and Christian values more than we have ever heard him do before.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Donald Trump has gone from using the Bible as a prop to turning our Holy Scriptures into a commodity. Words no longer suffice for the things he says and does with the most common word for his personal, political, and presidential behavior being unprecedented.
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]But I have some better words–religious words. I and many other faith leaders are willing to accuse Donald Trump of two more things.[/FONT]
[FONT=&]Newsmax Helps Trump Hawk His $60 ‘God Bless the USA’ Bibles
[/FONT]
[FONT=&]The first is idolatry–false worship. The White Christian Nationalism, that Trump proclaims, directly names the problem. First, the most inclusive and welcoming message of the gospel of Jesus Christ is made white by the marketer-in-chief of racial grievance. Second, the word Christian is distorted beyond recognition. Service, sacrifice, and love are replaced with control and domination with Trump’s religious disciples unapologetically aiming for control in their “Seven Mountain Strategy”—with right-wing Christians ruling government, business, media, education, family, arts/entertainment, and, of course, religion.
And in direct contradiction to Jesus' instruction to his followers to make disciples in every nation, Trump’s faith will be nationalism, not just positively loving your own country, but asserting the power of one nation over others. Trump’s Bible features the documents of one country and puts the words “God Bless the USA” on the cover. That is idolatry—the false worship of a nation.
The second word is heresy, which means drawing Christians and others away from Christ. Donald Trump and his MAGA movement deny the truest and deepest teaching of Jesus in places like his Sermon on the Mount. Trump’s worship of wealth and utter disregard for the poorest and most vulnerable brings the judgment of Jesus in Matthew’s gospel Chapter 25, “As you have done to the least of these you have done to me.”

ya Trump did not really do anything but expose how empty and fraudulent big religion has become. Not that it was not prior, but Trump just tore off the veil.
Big religion is just a tax based grift that is transforming into a Political PAC.
