Pastor Clarifies That Giant, Shiny Trump Statue Worshippers Love Is NOT An Idol

tiny dick and all.

Probably the most American Idol to date

with a golden calf just above each golden ankle

They all worship idols all the time and apply some mental gymnastics bullshit to pretend they don't. It's wild.

idolatry seems to be ignored by christians.

We're having madness right now.

Another 7 years?
Wouldn't have thought he'd live that long 🤷‍♂️

Well, he doesn't seem to care anymore.

if god isn't real it is up to us to make the world a just god would make.

I think that every time one of these psychos assumes room temperature. Upon hearing of their death, I'd love the satisfaction of imagining their reaction upon entering Hell for the eternity of fiery torture that we've been promised.

But alas, it's all a fairy tale, as real as Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.

It's a nice thought.

Now, be nicer to pigs, they're intelligent, capable of empathy. It's actually a giant pile of gold leafed shit.

I prefer to think about it as an orange turd, perfectly suitable for the eventual Trump Memorial.

Ohhhhhh SNAP ! 😂

And blessed it, and have repeatedly said that Trump is either blessed by God, or God's divine instrument.

But this isn't idolatry.

They would know Christ: they would be in the front row yelling for another crucifixion

With a name like Jesús he is obviously from one of them Mexican countries and needs to be sent to Alligator Auschwitz.

Did this pastor even go to seminary school?

I don't think most pastors study much.

It's man-cow-pig!

I prefer this outcome:

Can't wait to see these statues finally torn down by an invading imperial army doing a photo op for their dumb fat chud viewers on the other side of the planet.

They always think they're the exception. It's a symptom of their narcissistic personality disorder.

A lot of dictators die peacefully in their sleep a night. 😞

Baphomet is much better done

One is a statue of a cruel, merciless, sinful being that kills for fun. The other is Baphomet.

I am sure it's the thinnest gold coating possible, a lettuce head will last longer than the coating.

And has determined that nothing unusual is going on?

"While we are worshipping this golden idol, we want to make perfectly clear that we are in fact worshipping Jesus."

These fucking pharisees man...

I feel like he's both a baby and a cow, and yet somehow not a baby cow.

Baby calfs (calves?) are cute, the dumpster ain't pretty to look at and looks worse covered in gold

That's why I can't STAND to listen to Trump. He is ALWAYS WHINGING when he talks, even if he's winning. It sounds like he's upset over the winning because it's not enough winning.

frogs of locusts please. you can eat them. i'd prefer the locusts tho since the frogs will keep you up all night

Hanta virus.

Don Kaaba

There's he is!

if that statue was a baby anything his hand would be in a different spot

how blasphemous of evengelicals.

Reducing the idol into a powder, mixing it with water, and making the idolators drink the mixture is also on the table.

He seems to be trying to claim that since it's not specifically a calf, it doesn't count.

Could include the bite marks from the teenager he orally raped.

just one of the major heresies

As per usual with all the shit the conservatives do, it is cheaper. Electroplating requires a gigantic bath or a massive hermetically sealed room that can fit the entire volume of the statue. Such a thing either doesn't exist, would be irrational to pay to build or, if it exists, it is really expensive as a service to use it (repurposing a PCB plant, maybe?) Modern public consensus also considers gold anything to be tacky and corny, of very bad taste. Despite the rise of gold prices, the jewelry market is somewhat stagnant. It looks gaudy to have much gold anything around for decoration. So it stands to reason that there's actually few services that could electroplate gold to copper at such a scale, much less so a statue of the turd in chief.

but it's very definitely not an idol. ask any anthropogist it's a fertility totem. well okay a sex toy. you can see a few of the places the pastor didn't clean up properly when someone knocked on the door.

Is it excessive worship that was the issue? I thought the biblical God was fine with all manner of excess of worship as long as it wasn't of any other god.

Dilldon.

Maybe we just square them? Negative x negative is... ?

They were Jewish. Israelites fleeing slavery in Egypt. It wasn't out of fear of the calf-god, it was the rejection of one's own faith that made it a big deal for them.

Possibly Apis because the context of the story is the Israelites waiting for Moses to come down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments, just after their escape from Egypt, but worshipping bulls was a huge thing in the entire Fertile Crescent area so it could have been anything. Bulls are kinda a big deal at the time period - you see lamassu with human heads and bull bodies guarding lots of temples and palaces in Mesopotamia.

Moses is so pissed about the golden calf because he was literally just talking to god. He leaves them alone after getting them out of Egypt and they immediately get into polytheism.

The actual early Israelite religion was polytheistic, had temple prostitutes, burned cannabis for ritual purpose, and very likely had child sacrifice - probably of the first born.

Beyond what the others have said, no one put the golden calf god on a list, "Jehovah" disallowed the worship of all "false idols." And the people obviously weren't afraid of it, they were worshipping it. That was the whole issue.
