I'm glad Biden doesn't have a cult following. I don't see any Biden flags, Biden hats. I don't see truck convoys with Biden flags (this does happen in my city with Trump flags). I don't have to worry about Biden having fanatical followers. I felt similar about Bernie. I don't like when candidates have followers who seem to care more about the person than their ideas itself. I think the term often used is populist. Like I've never gone to a presidential candidates rally. Edited August 3 by spartan max2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To these people, it literally seems strange to them that others don't worship a politician or ideologue. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To a certain bent of religious mind in America, it's easier to worship Trump than that Jesus fella. Heck, have you seen some of the commie stuff the latter said? "We have no king but Caesar" and all that. At least the people who said that didn't simultaneously profess to believe in Him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Jesus said that, I think that was Paul and even so your "quote" is completely out of context. It was "render unto Ceasar what is Ceasars..." But it is easier to "worship" someone you can see than someone who has been dead for over 2000 years Edited August 3 by Desertrat56 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See John 19:15. Incorrect that it was Paul who said the quote you've presented. That was Jesus, at least in the synoptic text, see Matthew 22:15-22 as an example. EDIT: I see the difficulty. I switched gears in the middle of my post. I wasn't trying to say that the quote was one of the "commie things" Jesus said. I was presenting a parallel to pseudo-religious Magats rejecting Him in favor of secular authority which parallels the arc of the Biblical story.

I don't think anyone has a clue what Jesus said or didn't say. The Gospels were written and re-written centuries after he died, Hardly Gospel, in fact. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there are people who take it, no pun intended, as Gospel. And a heckuva lot of them worship an Orange Calf. See that, another Biblical reference. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, in my mind, every religion and ideology started out with progressive ideas, most of them good and adapted to the certain area and age. But, as we could see in all religions and ideologies, in a short period they become a cult where only that religion or ideology is the right one no matter what. Jews screwed up Judaism. Christians screwed up Christianity. Muslims screwed up Islam. Capitalist screwed up capitalism and communists screwed up communism. They all screwed it up by creating a cult out of it. Trump started out as an outsider with a good message about making america great again. It failed, he failed. But what did not fail? The making of a new cult, again. Cults are dangerous. Very. Dangerous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unpresidential When that national sports team is lying to you about equal pay and playing the victim, it's not surprising when they lose and get called out on their lies that those who actually support equal rights celebrate the demise of the lying liars who always lie. As an Australian I watched the game last night and felt no guilt in cheering the Swedes (I'd have cheered them as underdogs even without this, but watching Megan Rapinoe miss her penalty was one of the highlights of my evening). But if it was our Aussie team that was suing for equal pay when they already had equal pay and reached a settlement that actually pays them more than the men and still complain about equal pay, I'd be cheering against them too.

I give two ****s about this dude. Ive never watch the US women's soccer team in my life. This isn't anywhere near the top of list of problems or concerns in the US Again, Trump running for president and this is what he finds important to rage "tweet" about "AMERICA IS GOING TO HELL!!!

I provided a context as to why Americans would be happy that they lost. I thought you actually cared about the topic, I didn't realise you were just taking an opportunity to attack Trump.

You obviously care enough to weigh in on an anonymous internet forum to vent your displeasure that someone said "we're going to hell" as one sentence of one social media post, but you don't care enough to find out why people are upset about them, or if this one social media post were really the one and only thing Trump has said all week about public policy. You care enough to categorically determine that this one social media post is reason enough to never vote him into office again.

"We're going to hell!!! MAGA" is obvious political speech. Attacking Megans missed penalty kick was funny as heck because she's attacked Trump numerous times.

Trump had a problem understanding that being in the Oval Office does not make one king or even well liked. Edited August 7 by DJansen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
