Trump: "So you're saying I have a chance?!"

At this point Americas are nothing but a Ponzi scheme coated in red white and blue, with a penchant for insider trading and conflicts of interest for oligarchs that can legally steal anything they want with no legal repercussions.

[–] eestileib@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 21 hours ago

I mean yeah, that's all pretty consistent with how most pastors behave.

With those qualifications, she's a match made in heaven for Mrs Trump #4

This ladies name is Paula White since it doesn’t say anywhere in the post.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Paula White-Cain to be more specific and get the biblical irony all the way up.

I remember watching a skit where someone time travels like 50-100 years into the future to see if all the problems get solved, war, climate change, etc. the guy assures everything fine and reveals the solution. The rapture came and took all of the religious people away. Everyone left was easily able to work together to solve all the issues.

Indeed, the USA is turning into the WASP version of 1979 Iran.

What? I searched for it and it's not a joke? There's an actual Faith office in the USA? That's something you would expect in Iran, not the USA

[–] vala@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

It's a new thing believe it or not.

[–] Art3sian@lemmy.world 2 points 21 hours ago

It’s legit.

[–] VerdantSporeSeasoning@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I follow a guy (Matt Taylor) who studies a branch of Christianity called the New Apostolic Reformation, a branch that's like if Evangelical theology, prosperity gospel, and morals merged with traditional charismatics. Lots of prophecies. These are also the Seven Mountains Mandate people--the people who believe they should be in charge of the 7 pillars of culture, like media and education. He posted a a zoomed out version of the above picture, labeling everyone he recognizes from NAR. The NAR has been courting Trump since his first term. Trump is delivering for them.

Where the fuck is Hegseth holding the Jerusalem Cross flag?

We talking Iran, the secular democracy prior to 1953? Or Iran, the US backed military dictatorship that lasted until 1979? Or Iran, the Revolutionary Socialist Government that imploded in the run up to the US instigated Iran-Iraq War?

Oh oh oh. I gotcha. We're talking about the modern theocratically controlled ~~Kingdom of Saud~~ uh... ~~Hinduvista Federal government of India~~ um... ~~Revanchist Anti-Communist Christian Cult of the Park/Yoon government~~ er... ~~Apartheid State of Israel~~ oh, here it is, Ayatollah's Iran.

Damn, can't believe America would end up like Evil Foreign Country, instead of a model liberal secular government we traditionally support.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago

Well that seemed very relevant

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

trump established a White House Faith Office on Friday, February 7, 2025.

she's the first one.

no one knows exactly what she plans to do....or even what she could or might do.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It's like having a witch doctor rolling crow skulls and determining what to do next

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

She did that for trumps last administration too I believe, without the dept name maybe. But this definitely isnt the first time I've heard her name in relation to Trump

Religion is a scam. The biggest religion is the biggest scam. Don't believe in this nonsense.

Do a little research into Medellín Colombia. One of the more religious places I have visited and at the same time the people are content, generous and overall happy. This despite years of chaos under Pablo E

The Founding Fathers were VERY CLEAR when it came to Protecting Mass Child Murderers but VERY MURKY when it came to Separation of Church and State!

100s of 1000s of $$

This is cursed and looks like "hundreds or thousands of dollars" at a glance. Just say "100,000s of dollars" or "$200,000+".

[–] caden@lemmy.sdf.org 36 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I think "100,000s of dollars" is cursed too. If you want to use that phrasing, just spell out "hundreds of thousands".

There are many possible points of disagreement within Christianity because, like it or not, the Bible is unclear and even contradicts itself on many subjects (and this is a Christian saying this). But prosperity theology is so clearly the opposite of everything in the Bible that any self-respecting evangelical should ostracize it. That they don't is the proof that the gospel is not what many evangelicals are interested in.

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 77 points 2 days ago (5 children)

What she cites the bible for

Though she clarified that donations wouldn’t actually go to help those infected, White used medical imagery to add urgency to her fundraising plea during a pandemic. “Every single day we are a hospital to the sick, not necessarily the physically sick,” she said. “But we are a hospital for those who are soul sick, those who are spiritually sick.” White went on to suggest that contributors offer a $91 donation, citing Psalm 91, or “maybe $9 or whatever God tells you to do.”

What I cite the bible for

Matthew 21:12-13 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’

Who is she?

Edit: never mind: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_White

Edit 2: she is a prosperity theologian? Tbf, I am no christian, but i really doubt this is what Jesus wanted.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

It's what republican Jesus wants

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Supply Side Jesus would disagree.

[–] phar@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 day ago

There's only one point in the bible where someone actually asks Jesus how to receive eternal life. Jesus says to keep the commandments and also:

"Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me.”

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 days ago

Yeah no shit... Jesus would be fashioning a whip to drive these fuckers out of his temple.

If he were real.

How deep in denial of being trailer trash do you have to be to wear gold pearls?

[–] gdog05@lemmy.world 98 points 2 days ago

She sounds overqualified for the position.

Has there always been a White House faith office?

[–] LuxSpark@lemmy.cafe 97 points 2 days ago (7 children)

No, totally unconstitutional.
