Well Jesus isn't real. So it depends if a fictional character can be more popular than a real person? No matter how deranged that real person might be.
@MaryJo1996 From the historical Jesus Wikipedia:

[quote]Most scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed.[5][26][27]HistorianMichael Grantasserts that if conventional standards of historical textual criticism are applied to theNew Testament, "we can no more reject Jesus' existence than we can reject the existence of a mass ofpaganpersonages whose reality as historical figures is never questioned."[28][29]There is no indication that writers in antiquity who opposed Christianity questioned the existence of Jesus.[30][31][/quote]

Your problem with Jesus' conception doesn't negate the entire story, and your notion of "cobbling together" the Gospels, etc., is not consistent with the known history.

And please do not confuse what is said of the Bible with what it says...

@MaryJo1996

I don't revert to anything. I'm making a legitimate claim. Science can't explain everything, and if you think the opposite, then you're either incredibly naive or wilfully ignorant.

Go ahead, turn your notifications off - play that card and see how it works for you.

Trump's basic tactic is to create as much turmoil, confusion and conflict as he can. He makes incendiary statements to pit Americans against each other, by politics, by race, and anything else. He fires off idiotic tweets ('Let's invade Venezuela!" "Let trade Puerto Rico for Greenland.") to create uproar and confusion.

This tactic is a distraction move. Trump is trying to distract the populace from his real purpose which is to gain money and power for himself and enrich the billionaire class. He also has ties with Putin and the Russians who want conflict and turmoil in the United States.

The way to counter Trump is remember we all Americans: [b]United We Stand, Divided we Fall. [/b] Whatever our differences in politics, color, religion, we are all citizens united by the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

@badminton No one is talking about having an opinion. I am talking about destruction of private property to achieve your goals. Of course no one in BLM believes in private property or private enterprise. They believe as did Obama "You didn't build that".
badminton · 61-69, MVIP
@hippyjoe1955 I'm opposed to the rioting and property destruction. I also recognize that people riot when they are frightened, angry and desperate.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@badminton None of which applies to antifa or BLM. They are agendized not angry or desperate. They have a society that they are trying to implement whether you like it or not and it would reflect an outdated ideal espoused by marx.

[quote]as popular as Jesus?[/quote]

That's a pretty tall order.
There's over 2 billion Christians.

I think Trump is favored over Biden by a wide margin though.
By Christians and non-Christians alike.

Somehow though, I don't think my response captures the negativity intended by the OP.

@NoGamesTolerated I could beat him with one paw behind my back!
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Budwick If he only had a brain!
@Budwick that’s right! ✅
Jesus was Italian
He drank wine with every meal
He hung around with the same 12 friends his entire life
His Mother told him He was a God
@saragoodtimes No no... Jesus was not Italian. He was Jewish! King of the Jews/king of kings!
"I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose any votes." And then pardon himself.
@Loretta78 I think that there are millions of people that feel the same way.
Loretta78 · 46-50, F
@softspokenman I agree! 👍
@Loretta78 WHAT? Are you suggesting that DJT is somehow NOT the embodiment of all of Jesus' characteristics? 😉
JT123 · M
He never said that. Doesn't act like that. I do remember a president not long ago who the left put on a Jesus level!(Hint-#44)
@JT123 hint hint hint # BIGHINT
Harmonium1923 · 51-55, M
The difference is that Trump asks others to die for his sins.
Loretta78 · 46-50, F
@Harmonium1923 BA! 👍🥇

@Loretta78 😎
JT123 · M
I doubt he can walk on water but he will surely walk all over Biden November 3rd!
@JT123 Very unlikely.
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
Jesus used to be so popular that they crucified him 🤔
basilfawlty89 · 31-35, M
@HannibalAteMeOut now there's a great idea
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@basilfawlty89 I know 😏
JeanAnna · F
Heavens NO. Trump isn't even popular with most Americans.
😳 I didn't know that Jesus was a Republican 😲
@softspokenman You obviously don't go to church. In churches Trump "IS" god. All republicans running for office are automatically christians........in the minds of "christians"...and anyone who isn't a Republican is the devil. No matter if you marry a porn whore, lie, cheat, steal, break the laws of the land and never darkened the door of a church for anything more than a photo op........you are still a Godly Christian if you are a Republican. If the Pope was a Democrat...the church would identify him as the Devil....because of how he votes. It's how it is.
@anythingoes477 ☺️ The Pope recently said that LGBTQ people are GODs children, that must have caused their hell to freeze over 😱
@softspokenman Nothing the Bible says phases a Republican. Jesus said to feed the hungry...clothe the naked...house the homeless....and cure the sick. He said to love (all) others as you love yourself and God. He said whoa be to those that persecute the little children.

Now ask yourself. When is the last time you heard a Bible thumping "Christian" Republican say he was in favor of food stamps for the poor? That they wanted the poor to have access to healthcare? That they cared if veterans even had housing? How about the sick and old and disabled being able to still get one meal a day with Meals on Wheels?? (Now defunded) What is their opinion of the kids in cages at the border.....even if they die? Let me help you........"fuck 'em, they shouldn't have come here anyway".

EVERYTHING Christ commanded us to do in the Bible are on the hit list of what Republican "Christians" hate and want do to away with. Imagine if Jesus walked into Congress and gave them his commands in person. McConnell and the Republicans that were listening would jump to their feet, over talk Jesus...call Jesus Christ a stupid, stinking, libtard, socialist, muslim, terrorist agitator---and before the day ended they would pass on a ban on him ever coming here again.........put him on plane and deport him to Israel.

But near an election.............OH WOW.....those Republicans are the beloved of God Christian moral majority........and it's the Dems that will go to hell. Like the Bible they thump never existed at all. That is where the word "hypocrisy" comes from when talking about God.

No. Until Trump can walk on water or turn water into wine, he is not popular than Jesus lol
@SW-User Well, the writings in the Revelation according to John might explain this, even if it did boost his popularity...
spjennifer · 56-60, T
Would love to see him walking under water, in cement shoes!
In his own mind, DJT is, no doubt, much bigger.
He signs Bibles, so he must be Jesus. A Bible don't have any meaning at all.....until Orange Jesus signs it, I've heard. Then what's in it matters.....but with no signature from Orange Jesus.....it's just a book.

@jimjim1969 Possibly, historically. Too bad it is not the current one.
spjennifer · 56-60, T
I don't think he is, but HE sure does, why, he's God incarnate if your listen to him!
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
That's not what Trump really meant to say

lemme fix it for ya

@FreestyleArt Too bad he doesn't actually follow his "boss" or evidence Him in...ANY aspect, whatsoever.

Jesus was captured and nailed to the cross. Trump can do better.

Beside, the guy was a socialist so who cares.
I'd like to see him levitate and it could happen any day now. 🤔
