The Bat Shit Crazy of Blessings...

Post by kalm »

I know there's quite a bit of Trump love on here but...good to see the christians are projecting...
(CNN)A pastor with a long history of inflammatory remarks about Muslims, Mormons, Catholics and gays is scheduled to preach at a private service for President-elect Trump and his family on Friday, shortly before Trump takes the oath of office.

The pastor, the Rev. Robert Jeffress, is a Southern Baptist who vigorously campaigned for Trump during the final months of the presidential election and is a member of his evangelical advisory board. "I love this guy!" Trump has said of Jeffress. Before the campaign, Trump, a Presbyterian, had no apparent connection to the pastor, who leads First Baptist Church in Dallas.
Friday morning's worship service, scheduled to be held at St. John's Episcopal Church across the street from the White House, will continue a modern Inauguration Day ritual. With the exception of Richard Nixon in 1973, every president since Franklin Roosevelt has attended spiritual services on Inauguration Day, many at St. John's. The event is separate from both the inauguration itself and an interfaith service to be held Saturday at Washington National Cathedral, where an imam is among those who will offer prayers.
Usually the Inauguration Day service draws little notice, much less controversy. But offering Jeffress such a prominent pulpit is likely to irk religious minorities, particularly Muslims, many of whom were already angered by the President-elect's stoking of suspicions about Islam during the campaign.

Jeffress leads a 12,000-member megachurch in Dallas and is a frequent guest on Fox News. But to many Americans, he may be best known for his frequent condemnations of Mormonism as a "cult" during the 2012 presidential campaign. He urged Christians not to vote for Mitt Romney, a Mormon, during the Republican primary. He later supported Romney over President Barack Obama.
Jeffress has also called Islam and Mormonism heresies "from the pit of hell," suggested that the Catholic church was led astray by Satan, accused Obama of "paving the way" for the Antichrist and spread false statistics about the prevalence of HIV among gays, who he said live a "miserable" and "filthy" lifestyle.

Pissing off liberals, while pandering to evangelicals.

It's genius, brother.

Anyone who manages to piss off CAIR and GLAAD at the same time can't be all bad.

Trump has never been, and so probably never will be a religious man.

93 is right, it's the perfect scam.

Trump is about as religious as I am.

When Trump does ANYTHING related to religion it will be for only one of two reasons - pandering or trolling. The trolling part is new and unique to Trump. The pandering part was also done by several recent presidents, most notably Bill Clinton

And probably has a lot to do with him being so trollable himself. Who ever thought we'd live in a country where you could insult the President and get a personal response? And I used to think our empire was in decline.... :thumb:

I have only stern admonition to offer a young man thinking of investing in the insiders sucker game known as the "stock market". Those aren't the kind of people you want to hang around. :ohno:
