Kinzinger says Christians who back Trump ‘don’t understand’ their religion
thehill.com

Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) bashed former President Trump online and said Christians who support him “don’t understand” their religion.

“I’m going to go out on a NOT limb here: this man is not a Christian,” Kinzinger said on X, formerly known as Twitter, responding to Trump’s Christmas post. “If you are a Christian who supports him you don’t understand your own religion.”

Kinzinger, one of Trump’s fiercest critics in the GOP, said in his post that “Trump is weak, meager, smelly, victim-ey, belly-achey, but he ain’t a Christian and he’s not ‘God’s man.’”

Jesus would not recognize modern Christians by almost any measure.

If Jesus returned today, American evangelicals role would be first in line to crucify him a second time

Not if he came back with a loaded 45 in his rear jeans pocket, mumble rapping with face tatts.

You think American evangelicals would like that?

Imagine if you had a time machine and could pick him up and show him St. Peters basilica today.
The shit fit he would throw would make the cleansing of the temple look like nothing.

I always wonder what the point of the rapture is if it hasn't already happened. Ain't no one going up. Modern Christians can't even be objective enough to understand their own failure to follow their own subjective morals.

I regularly jest that the rapture happened in 2012 but nobody noticed because only one guy in Montana was raptured and the rest of us just blithely continued on living. I imagine that Revelations is playing out and God and the Antichrist are both standing around scratching their heads as the horsemen are trying to do their thing and modern Christians look at it all and say "hold my beer".
