The thought of the Christian church tying itself to the ultra rich, united in the war against the poor, the sick and the aged is revolting, to say the least.

Jesus was born in a stable, said his Kingdom was not of this world, drove the capitalists out of the Temple and said it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man go to heaven.

The "Jesus" the Trump cult claims to worship is a construct made in their own greedy minds.
