Trump and Evangelical religion pro's and con's. Should Religion even be involved in the election?

[Luckyone]

Trump has been "using" the Evangelicals and quoting God as a way to get elected. and recently with the attempted assassination attempt he experienced, according to Trump, God is watching out for him and that is the reason why he was not killed. In addition, Megan Kelly tried to confirm that by making the case that Trump was shot at 6:11pm and that is meaningful on a biblical basis............In reading Ephesian 6:11 where it says "Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes." Megan Kelly says that it means that Trump has the "full armor of God" on his side and the Democratic "devils" were the ones trying to kill him.

Nonetheless, this video makes the very good case that the opposite meaning is most likely to be the case, quoting other 6:11's verses in the Bible. See this and have a good laugh



I have 2 questions for you:

1) "Should Trump be using God and Religion to win the presidency"?
2) "Knowing who Trump is and hearing the above video, should the Evangelicals be supporting Trump"?

Do you think Christians don't vote are aren't politically-active?

I’m sure after that attempt on his life and surviving that gun shot wound from the ActBlue donor’s bullet, he has had a religious experience

Good for him

??? Is Biden or Harris using religion as a tool to win the election?

I think not, so your post is useless and on top of that, you did not answer the questions put forth in the OP!

The GOP is like a Megachurch with Trump as their pastor, fleecing them for every cent they've got

If you don't believe in God or have him in your life it's impossible to use as a tool.

FYI

Trump is telling you what God believes.. that's nauseating.

Harris is using abortion as her tool.

Trump has done a lot of damage to the Republican party.

Correct he’s saying what he believes after having a religious experience after an ActBlue donor tried to murder him

Explain that statement to me as I don't understand

I mean, the Bible says "Thou shall not take the name of the Lord, thy GOD in vain or you shall be punished". It does not say that it is "impossible" to use it as a tool. So explain your statement.

 

[Luckyone]

Socialism is the "religion" of the left.

Such a response is not worth a response as it is simply a biased response with no facts, data, or statistics to back it up.

Sigh, one more blind-by-choice Trumper

You are 100% correct.

Trumpers are suckers for a conman

Can you use a screwdriver if you don't have one in your toolbox?

 

[Luckyone]

Can you use a screwdriver if you don't have one in your toolbox?

So, you are agreeing with me that Trump is simply conning the Evangelicals (using God's name in vain) into voting for him, given that he has no actual "screwdriver" in his toolbox, right?

Moving the goalposts a bit aren't ya?

 

[Luckyone]

Moving the goalposts a bit aren't ya?

No at all, just following your statements. I said:

Trump has been "using" the Evangelicals and quoting God as a way to get elected. and recently with the attempted assassination attempt he experienced, according to Trump, God is watching out for him and that is the reason why he was not killed.

and you replied:

"If you don't believe in God or have him in your life it's impossible to use as a tool."

"Can you use a screwdriver if you don't have one in your toolbox?"

My interpretation of your posts is as follows: If Trump doesn't believe in God or have him in his life, it is impossible to use as a tool.

Are you saying that Trump is using God as a tool? or that he doesn't believe in God and as such, using his name in vain?

By the way, using him as a tool in an election where religion is not supposed to be one of the factors involved in electing a president (should be about the economic and security welfare of the people and not their beliefs because even if you believe in God you can starve to death if you can't pay your bills).

In simple words, whether Trump actually believes in God (and I seriously doubt it as he believe he (personally) is better than everyone), or doesn't believe in him and is conning people, both approaches are bad.

You don't agree?
