Trump’s Cabinet Is Attending Weekly Bible Studies Led By A Conservative Pastor

You can see from the replies on this thread and in all threads like them, people that claim to be Kristians are fine and dandy with religion in government, as long as it is their religion. Kristians are the most insecure of the religious groups. They don't feel right unless everyone around them agrees with their worldview. You don't see Jews demanding that this government ever pack itself with Jews. Or Hindus.

Only Kristians do that. Ever. They're always pushing for a soft theocracy in the US where their religion is favored and the rest are silenced.

Insecurity about one's beliefs.

Except none of you can point to one law or official document stating any policy other then an inch of old people sitting around pretending to talk about God. Who even cares really?

You are unfamiliar with human history and religion. Read up on it, none of this is 'harmless'. Otherwise none of it would be taking place.

Why would they pack their cabinet with Jews or Hindus, in a country that is, for all intents and purposes, a secularized Christian Nation?

Thank you for proving the point.

Can you imagine if an administration started holding Quran classes in the Whitehouse? Right wingers would lose their crap. Lol

You're very welcome... sometimes, restating the bloody obvious is of help to the flow of a thread...

Again... no point in doing that, in a de facto Christian Nation...

Don't have to read up on it as we get a nightly lesson about men and religion every night. But I cought your insinuation which is that this was a bunch of bald guys trying to figure out how to bring back slavery. Honestly, this is just what it was. Folks reading a book together.

Yeah. I mean, one could end up getting tossed off a building, beheaded, set on fire or stoned to death.

Why ? Sure some would but they would be ignored . But why would they freak?

The right wing base would have none of that. They freaked out over the rumor of Obama being a Muslim. You'd think they just be cool with Quran classes in the Whitehouse?

Right wing is not too accepting of any religion that isn't Christianity.

A while back, I started a thread on Christian Dominionism and the threat to our secular government. Many people told me that I was crazy and just exaggerating the dangers that it poses. The thread has long since gone dormant but maybe in light of this development, the subject should be given new life:

Christian Dominionism-The Real Threat to Our Secular Government

 

[Papageorgio]

It looks like the government endorsing one specific religion, whether or not technically/legally that is what's happening.

Which religion are they supporting?

More prayers from within the White House:

IVANKA: "Oh god, please make him go golfing this weekend"

ENTIIRE TRUMP WH STAFF: "Oh god, please have him stay golfing his entire term"

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: "Ditto"

President Donald Trump speaks during a cabinet meeting in the Cabinet Room of the White House in Washington, DC on Monday, July 31, 2017.

Bible studies are one of the foundational ways that Christians gather to learn about their faith. As a result, these small groups are a very common aspect of life for many American Christians.

But one particular Bible study group has been gaining notoriety in recent months, primarily because of the powerful people who are attending, and the controversial lessons being taught.

Members of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet ― some of the most powerful people in the United States ― have been gathering at a Bible study on Capitol Hill organized by the Christian pastor Ralph Drollinger, according to The Christian Broadcasting Network.

Drollinger is the president and founder of Capitol Ministries, a conservative Christian group that seeks to “evangelize elected officials and lead them toward maturity in Christ.” The group has planted Biblical ministries in state capitols across the country and holds Bible studies for Senators and members of the House of Representatives.

Since Trump arrived in the White House, Drollinger has also been meeting weekly with members of the White House Cabinet. The sessions have been taking place since at least April.

Capitol Ministries claims that key Trump advisors have sponsored Drollinger’s Bible studies ― people like Vice President Mike Pence, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Housing and Urban Development Secretary Dr. Ben Carson, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and Department of Energy Secretary Rick Perry. In this context, sponsoring means that they helped Drollinger find a space to hold his Bible study. An outside group seeking to hold a special event in a Congressional building needs to reserve a room through a congressperson’s office.

In an interview with CBN News, Drollinger claims the class he leads for Cabinet members is the “best Bible study that I’ve ever taught in my life.”

“These are godly individuals that God has risen to a position of prominence in our culture,” Drollinger told CBN. “They are so teachable; they’re so noble; they’re so learned.”

Drollinger also suggested that the attendees have found practical ways to apply the lessons taught during these Bible studies.

I find this troubling on several levels (actually I find it scary as hell) - including that Christianity is the only religion represented. The founders gave us a "Godless" Constitution. What do you think?

Also, they are having their so-called "Bible Study" on government property - funded by all taxpayers. Are they attending on work time or personal time? Are they pressuring others to attend?

Washington Redskin, you stupid Heathen.
His cabinet obviously from the article are Christians why would they be anything else you stupid motherfucker.
It is not a "godless" constitution get out of the fucking firewater...

I think you're an idiot!

The founders didn't give us a "godless" Constitution,
they instituted freedom of religion

And frankly, I'm not even going to finish my reply...
Some people are so lost it's pointless!

You obviously have much to learn about our Constitution. Start here...

It has often been seen on the Internet that to find God in the Constitution, all one has to do is read it, and see how often the Framers used the words "God," or "Creator," "Jesus," or "Lord." Except for one notable instance, however, none of these words ever appears in the Constitution, neither the original nor in any of the Amendments. The notable exception is found in the Signatory section, where the date is written thusly: "Seventeenth Day of September in the Year of our Lord one thousand seven hundred and Eighty seven". The use of the word "Lord" here is not a religious reference, however. This was a common way of expressing the date, in both religious and secular contexts. This lack of any these words does not mean that the Framers were not spiritual people, any more than the use of the word Lord means that they were. What this lack of these words is expositive of is not a love for or disdain for religion, but the feeling that the new government should not involve itself in matters of religion. In fact, the original Constitution bars any religious test to hold any federal office in the United States. For more information, see the Religion Topic Page.

It must drive you crazy that Your Democratic Presidents were sworn in with a Bible. Lol!

No, so long as they govern in a secular manner. If the planet lasts long enough, eventually evolution will breed all this batshit crazy religious nonsense out of humanity.

The fake Kristians in the US are constantly looking for ways to force their religious beliefs on everyone else and their first motis operandi is getting control of the government.

Where true Christianity says "render unto Caesar that which is Caesars, i.e. the government, the fake Kristians view government just as the church did in old Europe where the government and the church were interchangeable. The very reason the founders of the United States insisted on a separation of church and state.

But current day Kristians seek the opposite. The seek to make the US government a defacto Christian theocracy that forces Christianity to be the dominant religion and forces all other religions into hiding.

It is against Christ and it is against democracy. But these people don't care about either of those, they act as if theirs is a divine mission from god. Look to the mideast to see equivalents.

Amen! Thank you!
