https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-sparks-more-health-concerns-with-surprise-heaven-declaration/

Trump, 79, admitted to Fox News on Tuesday that he feels he is “at the bottom of the totem pole” regarding his odds of making it to the promised land, leading many to ponder: Why is the president suddenly so hell-bent on making it to the pearly gates?

Trump took my job in April. Trump placed tariffs so the economy is crashing. Trump fired the lady that was reporting on new job creation. The metrics that track the chances of me getting a new job are falsified.

I hope he dies. I hope he dies alone and is scared in the end. I hope he dies before I become homeless. Damn him until the seas dry and the land ashens. Damn him until time itself shatters.

A malignant narcissist, rapist, molester, pedophile, repeat adulterer, pathological liar, who's primary personality traits include gloating, overt cruelty and hatred getting into any version of heaven? Add in the estimated 1.5 million Americans who unnecessarily lost their lives due to Trump's deliberate politicizing of a pandemic and I think he's going to hell in a hand basket.

It's easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than it will be for him and his ilk to get into heaven.

If I believed in heaven, I'd probably take more solace in that. But I would much prefer we enact justice while he's living, even if only as an example to others who'd wish to follow in his footsteps.

These evil people deserve a fate worse than hell. Religion is only there to keep us common folk in line. If the god existed that Christian’s fear then these hypocrites would already be doomed. All this does is become an escape goat to put one actions and excuses into something that can’t be held accountable.

Arguably, this is the entire appeal of the hellfire doctrine. It's not really in the Bible at all--there are scriptures you can kinda interpret that way, but you can kinda interpret another way, too. It's bolted onto Christianity and repeated from the pulpit so often that the pews don't notice that it isn't really there.

Sadly yes. He’s demise and eventual death needs to be long and painful for him. For all we know he could be very well in excruciating pain and he is just loaded up with pain killers and his staff has been told to keep it quiet. Just look at his face and the way he talks and moves around, he’s not the same trump from even a year ago.

If he wants to maximize his chances of seeing Heaven, he should start working towards that now. I would suggest he gives away all his wealth, resigns from any position of power, publicly apologizes for his past misdeeds, and retreats to spend the rest of his days living as a monk in a remote monastery, preferably one where all the brothers take a vow of silence.

matlag@sh.itjust.works · 12 pts · 359d (1 reply)

Yeah, he's more likely to decide he was chosen by God for a mission, botch it while claiming a tremendous success, and declare he has a guaranteed spot at the right of God, if not as his successor.

All of these overrich believers will stretch their beliefs with no limit until they encompass their whole life and actions. They're "chosen".

jj4211@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 359d

Pretty much this, when people with his level of narcissism 'find god' it's always with a self-affirmation bent, that God must want whatever he wants, because he is the best and obviously whatever he wants is, by definition, right.

If anything, a person might conclude they've been too lenient somehow and they need to double down on "their vision" before it's too late.

Boy it sure would be scary if there was some part of the Bible that told you that how you treated the least amongst us, the hungry, the immigrant, the homeless, was how you treated god.

I’m sure trump has nothing to worry about, he’s always been real nice to the vulnerable among us right?

Matthew 25:40-45 New International Version

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
