    One of the things that makes atheists so impatient with theists is that it is so obviously obvious that there is no god. Eyes are useless when the mind is blind.

    It's very scarey when he calls people vermin and tainted blood. How can he talk like this. Bit I hate Biden and Hillary Clinton.

    I’ve never a group of people so frightened and upset over a possible change from Democrat to Republican in the next election. You leftists will do nearly anything to not lose power.

    Not so….they are two separate things. But most of us are not only Christians, but also patriots…we don't want to see our country turned into a sewer…It's the most natural thing in the world when you love your country…

    These Evangelicals are not the same Christians of the days Paul. Don't get it twisted.

    Our founders knew “Separation of Church and State” was necessary. The new “Christians” are more about taking over than they are about loving God. They’re manipulative and self-aggrandizing. The churches need to be taxed and the tax money should go to housing and feeding the impoverished, like Jesus asked.

    He’s not a “Christian” at all. I don’t understand these “evangelicals” accepting this immoral, unstable man.

    Trump is the third anti christ! Those pastor's and Christians do not walk with God! I'm a real Christian and it's called the falling away. Which means they turn away from god to worship another god!

    Religion is a weapon of mass destruction. It's a tool used for control of others. Jesus never existed and neither did god. Trump would be the anti-Christ of you believe in that dogma. Christianity, Islam and the rest are lies.

    Trump has deceived many, but the true followers of Christ will never be fooled by him!

    When you're dumb enough to fall for religion, you're dumb enough to fall for Trump.

    COVID-19 was not too severe but when the real Biblical plagues come tthe Evangelicals will blame the Democrats.
