‘The president surprised many Christian supporters last month when he said he may not be “heaven-bound.”’ - HuffPost

It seems very unlikely that real Christians are surprised that Trump isn’t “heaven-bound”.

Evangelicals? Sure.

But they’ll likely get a big surprise in the hereafter, too.

Congressional Democrats, “Support us! We’ll stand strong… this time.”

Mainline Protestantism has always seemed to skip over the bits where Jesus says you have to walk the walk, not just talk the talk, to join the Eternal Celestial Choir in the Sky.

They typically seem to be too busy building new mega churches and Escheresque loopholes for the rich to get into heaven.

So now we are all going to be required to eat Big Macs, fries, and Diet Cokes?

Or maybe over done steaks with ketchup?

OMG! I started snickering before I even got the sound on, because I knew what it was going to be!

Don’t worry!

Trump’s uncle was a professor at MIT, don’t you know, so Trump is a Very Smart Guy!

Doctor Trump, MD, PhD, EIEIO is there and he has concepts of a plan to help the guy.

I could not even make it through the trailer.

Kudos to any reviewers who were able to make it through an entire episode.

You have my deepest sympathies.

“My safety was put at risk... mediocrity when it comes to airport security will not be tolerated" - Nancy Mace

Mediocrity, when it comes to politicians, however, should be rewarded by being elected governor, right Nancy?

Hmmm, looks like in Texas a judge could refuse to perform interracial or interfaith marriages, too. At least with regard to how the Texas SC feels about it.

One would have to assume a judge could refuse to marry people of a faith or denomination different from theirs, too?

Amazing that @cnn.com can get so many things wrong in so few words!

Did CNNAI generate the post & accompanying article?!?

Has anyone asked Usha if she thinks JD should become a Hindu?

Why not??

I’d really love to be there when Valentina Gomez finds out why Christians celebrate Christmas on December 25th…

You can tell that Good Christian Man Mike Johnson is a really an atheist, because if he believed that lying is a sin, he would not lie as easily as he breathes.
