Atheists, are you less inclined to vote for Trump because he said God saved him from the bullet?

A lot of people are calling Trumps survival a miracle and Trump himself said the same thing. Does this annoy you? Do you think the incident has done your movement damage because it could result in more people believing in God? And I mean the Christian God specifically because this is America.

scripture tells us that the devil is God of this world. I believe it's 2 Corinthians 4:4 where it says the "god" of this world is blinded the eyes of them that believeth not.

When Jesus was taken up to the mountain top by Satan to be tempted Satan what's Satan offered him was riches power over and from this Earth, if Jesus would only bow down Isn't that saying that Satan is in control of the Earth and everything that's on it.

John 16:10-11 I believe it is, tells us that the Earth is under judgment and the prince or ruler of this world has been judged.

So who saved Trump? If it was done by our Lord & Father he had a specific purpose it's Trump is in no wise a believer and doer of probably anything that is written in Scripture.

@Charity Okay. Let me see if I've got this straight. You believe that Donald Trump, who has literally said he would re-implement slavery using undocumented immigrants and the elderly, was saved by God for a purpose? This is the same Donald Trump who has made it his mission to end trans rights in America, and whose next step is to undo all the progress toward equal rights for the rest of the LGBT community, and then probably try to take away the right of women to vote. So please tell me exactly what God is trying to accomplish by letting this man blow through the Constitution like a wrecking ball. I'd really love to know. As a bisexual American, I want to know.

@LordShadowfire I said if he was it was for a purpose do you know what if means.

@Charity I know what if means. If is a word people use as an excuse.

It's pretty insane to think that divine intervention was responsible for diverting a bullet from Donald Trump to some poor lowly peasant

@Diotrephes I have to agree. If you look at Trump's ear now, the healing is truly miraculous.

@LordShadowfire It's too bad that the SOB can't regrow his brain.

I am Christian but just because trump says he thanks or believes in Jesus doesn’t mean he really means it.
He promotes Christian Nationalism imo not because it is Christian but because it gets rid of our Democracy and Constitution! .
People praise God because they always identify with the main character when they witness a miracle. If God saved Trump, he will save them if they ever get in danger too. The idea that God didn't intervene with the death of a bystander doesn't matter, because they're never going to be such a side character. And yet there are almost always more victims than heroes, so maybe people should consider themselves in those roles as well before getting all too relieved and thankful.
I have to admit that far too many people, especially politicians, try to use the belief in God that the vast majority have to their own advantage. Even though I kind of like him, I do not believe that Donald Trump is actually a Christian.

@Bel6EQUJ5
I value his honesty above all.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
That's the best joke I've seen in the politics section this year.

Oh, wait. You were serious? Allow me to laugh even harder.

@Bel6EQUJ5 it's worth a thousand words at least.

I think people consider the dead and injured bystanders to be the greater tragedy .
No one cares about DonOLD, or the.papercut on his ear.

Personally, I think that if some beneficent deity were deflecting bullets, it would be done without killing a heroic firefighter.

If we're invoking the supernatural in this event, I think it much more likely that Trump was saved by SATAN.

Word I hear, it was glass fragments, not a bullet.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@NerdyPotato I heard that one as well. Supposedly came from the teleprompter. But then I heard Donald Trump specifically state that it was a bullet.
@LordShadowfire a teleprompter would be a reasonable source of glass, but that raises another question: if he uses one at those events, were the ramblings about sharks and batteries all scripted? 🤨
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
@NerdyPotato He definitely goes off script a lot. They try to keep him on certain talking points, but that's dementia for you.

No -- his delusions are his problem. It's his hate-mongering, violent, anti-American views that I'll vote against.
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
Wow. Just wow. You really think that not believing in God is some kind of movement.

I suppose next you're going to tell me bald is a hair color and not collecting stamps is a hobby.

It should be especially irritating to believers who don't support him. In fact,vi can account for one case where it does!
