Pastors on the steps of #StJohnsChurch calling for end to police brutality, solidarity with #DCProtests. God is always on the side of the oppressed. Mr. President, I promise your hands are too small to box with God.

(146,317 posts)So, those pastors' words will have no effect on the current resident of the White House. Donald Trump is not a man of God in any way, nor does he think that any such deity exists. Donald J. Trump does not believe in religion. He merely plays on others' beliefs.
He is not listening to you, Pastors. He does not care what you say. For Trump, there is no God.

If only the avid believers in God understood this, and how they are being played.

(90 posts)I think that he is always fearful that they will pull back the curtain to see that the wizard is just a sad little man who has duped them. What he doesn't realize is that they know that he is a fraud, but they are using his lack of self awareness to move forward their own agenda. Once he is out of office, they will drop him like a hot rock.

(18,868 posts)Boy did he misstep yesterday. The backlash is huge.
They forced a priest out of the church. They used a Bible as a photo prop. They gassed quiet protesters exercising their constitutional rights.
And they fanned the flames. And threatened to use military force against American citizens.
And boy are mayors and mayors and religious leaders and American citizens mad. They are spitting fire.
