American Evangelical Christians

The comma in the middle of my clause ^"by making as much money as his father did, without being too finicky about the methods^" is optional. The whole sentence has different meanings with or without that comma, but either applies.

What many QAnon followers have realised, and is dawning on more of them daily, is that Trump is not interested in saving America from Muslims or paedophilia or draining any swamps. His aim is to show his late daddy that he is a big success, by making as much money as his father did, without being too finicky about the methods, and by having people acclaim him as the greatest. He is like those small children whose ambition is "to be famous" but have no idea at all of what they will have to actually learn, know, plan and do to be great - or the difference between fame and infamy.

Their not there...

A lot of Evangelical groups, US or elsewhere, espouse quite traditional lifestyles: women in the kitchen with the kids, men as the hunter gatherer... and what they see as a ' natural order' i.e white supremacy
They are frequently supporters of Israel because its establishment fulfils some prophecy for the 2nd coming... or something... not because they like Jews..in fact there ' natural order' possibly makes them racist to all other ethnic groups...

More about Samaritan's Purse, and giving without adding specific religious strings..

I once expressed my discomfort about Samaritans Purse on GN and was shot down. I always filled two shoeboxes with my children when they were at primary school but was always uncomfortable about the fact they put Christian literature in the boxes which were very often being sent to non Christian countries.

'False claims' = lies. Trump told lies. No need to use such polite words.

The "God and guns" brigade believe the parts of the Bible that confirm their beliefs - most of them in the Old Testament where they are the history of a desert tribe struggling for survival amongst other tribes barely out of the stone age.

After learning how God was on the side of the people of Israel in their conflicts and wars, (substitute "white male people of the US" here) they turn to Revelations to read how God will deal with His enemies at the End Time. They are ready and willing to give God a helping hand with that, and to suggest people that God ought to add to the list of enemies.

How do you know Trump is immoral varian? Can you please give me evidence?

'Thou shalt not commit adultery'

I thought that Christians, particularly Evangelicals, were quite keen on that one.

I think lots of parents know about that now, it's a very common discussion on MN, the school I am involved with have changed to another charity that does a similar service without the problematic aspects.

I went to a Billy Graham rally in the 60s and thought he was “the real deal”. I have since become more enlightened and am now a humanist.

I wonder how many parents who gift charity shoe box gifts at Christmas, know anything about an organisation “Samaritan’s Purse” which sponsors this?

Over 30,000 false or misleading claims were made by former US President Donald Trump during his four year in power as the President of America. As his term ended on a sour note because he became the first US President to be impeached twice, his lies or misleading assertions were covered by the media.

According to a report published in The Independent, it equates to 21 false claims every day. His latest misleading and false claims that shook the entire nation on January 6 was on so called 'stolen elections.'

From his first day in office, January 20, 2017 to last day on Wednesday, January 20, 2021, Donald Trump made 30,573 false and misleading claims as per the analysis by The Washington Post.

The most prominent misleading or false statement was that his administration, "“built the greatest economy in the history of the world”. According to The Washington Post's analysis this claim was used at least 493 times.

Second most popular misleading claim was related to tax cuts that the Trump administration touted as the biggest on record. It was repeated 296 times. Trump made similar claims in his farewell address.

His other false claims were related to job opportunities while the job creation or employment opportunities dwindled since the Great depression in US with 6.7% Americans without work.

Other false claims that he made was on his final day farewell address when he said, his administration "rebuilt the United States military." Although, the biggest annual budget was during Obama's administration in 2010.

The worst month for misleading claims, according to The Washington Post was October 2020 in which the tally of lies went up to 3,917. With 2,239 untruths, the second worst month was September 2020.

The worst day with 503 misleading claims was November 2, 2020.

Perhaps we can all forgive the odd little white lie, but 30,000 lies in four years??? Trump is a habitual liar and that alone proves that he is immoral NannyC2

Me too. Go Elegran ?‍♀️

My mum was an ardent fan of Billy Graham----and it used to drive me crackers listening to him years ago. Which is why I turned against religion.
Dad used to take me to the Synagogue in Liverpool which spooked me as a child.
I suppose it was all done so that I'd show an interest in either. I didn't !

I once signed on to a QAnon page on FB, surprisingly easy if you are willing to lie about your motives for doing so. By golly, that really was lifting the stone. JFK Junior wasn't really dead and was going to re-appear at Trump's side as the co-saviour of the world, Pence was a clone, the original having been executed for treason against Trump, all these ghastly 'paintings' of Trump with Jesus' hand on his shoulder. Truly weird. I too wonder where the disgusting behaviour of Trump fits in with Christian beliefs. I did read somewhere that the extreme Evangelical Christians who believe in the Rapture are a group who need to be kept on side by Republicans. My cousin who lives in USA, an intelligent, educated person who is proudly Christian and is taking the time to read a piece of the Bible every day in order to study and understand it better, is also a supporter of Trump, such a contradiction and baffling

Elegran ?

They don't represent Christians at all Varian. They are the American equivalent of our ' Churchians' They follow laws of men, not Jesus at all.

Or 3) You are one of the QAnon followers who haven't yet realised that they have been scammed. That you Varian for that link.

I suppose that depends on your own benchmark for moral standards.

NannyC Just what are we going to see? All these musterious hints (you have done it before) mean that you either -

1) - know what he is planning - so you must have known about the plans for the armed insurrection and the attack on the Capitol and you should be under investigation for conspiracy, collusion, inciting to kill, or even treason or you should be at least "helping the police with their enquiries"

or 2) you know damn -all about anything but want to boast that you are in cahoots with the man.

Either put up or shut up.

I have read that Evangelical Christians are losing support in the US particularly among younger people.

Has anyone heard of a group called Faithful America? They are reported as having a petition to remove Franklin Graham Billy’s son, as CEO of Samaritan’s Purse Charity (Christmas shoe boxes) because of his support for Trump.

Interestingly enough it was the Republicans who upheld the rights of African Americans after the Civil War and the Democrats who denied them rights.

^ It is history that was hidden but now being revealed.^

That's because of the American Civil War. Democrats were Southerners, Republicans were Northerners. It's not 'hidden history' at all. It's just history that no-one is particularly interested in most of the time.

But, attitudes and principles change. 150 years later they are completely different parties.

Did you not know it was a scam NannyC2?

NannyC2 are you pretending to be some kind of soothsayer with prior knowledge of insurrections to come? Because if you are, I might have to report you to MI6 so that they can let the FBI know about you.

Or are you just like my friend in the USA, who has been brainwashed by the Trump project and thinks Trump is saving us from the lizard people who are part of a paedophile cult based in a pizzeria?

We shall see........
