'merica has it's first atheist president....as per Ron Reagan, Jr.

Trump won't acknowledge being atheist but his actions or behavior, trying to identify his favorite Bible passage....


You get the idea. As for Trump, there is no higher power or entity than Donald J. Trump.

They are the ones behind the scenes who decided pulling in the fundamentalists would be a way to keep the republican party alive (and this goes back decades - way before Reagan).

Anyway, now we're in a bad situation because we have one of those billionaires (tagalong Musk) right in the White House. Donald's function was to be the figurehead and bring in the votes (along w/whatever they did with Russia behind the scenes, whether simply misinformation or more ...). I guess Musk is there to remind him what his job is.

The goal of the billionaires is always more capital. I expect them to go after social security - that's a big chunk. Their method will be to pull it into the stock market. Trump's job is to sell it to his supporters ...

. . nor is it proof of non-belief.

Unless Reagan knows something we don't, I'm thinking Chump is just a lazy "christian" who's looking for the easiest way out.

Trump has stated that he does not seek forgiveness from God as he has done nothing to seek forgiveness. A real Christian would never say such a thing.

“Christians begin with the clear biblical truth that no sinful human being has a perfect character, but even as we grade presidents on something of a curve, some stand out as particularly lacking in character,” The Rev. Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary said. “Donald J. Trump is certainly one of those presidents.”

“I do not want Donald J. Trump to be the 2024 Republican nominee,” Mohler added. “There is simply too much baggage ... A statesman would realize that fact and make way for someone else to lead. That does not appear likely.”

Rev. Peter Daly – a retired Catholic priest of the Archdiocese of Washington said “Donald Trump’s gospel is not the Gospel of Jesus.” Trump is an uncharitable bully, prone to lying, lacking in empathy and tolerance. Daly tries to comprehend why so many conservative Christians remain in Trump’s camp despite behavior and rhetoric “that are antithetical to everything they stand for.”
