[Iowa] Evangelicals on Trump: "God looked down on his planned paradise and said, 'I need a caretaker,' so God gave us Trump."

The video is bombastic, even by Mr Trump's standards. Just consider the title: God Made Trump.

I'm not a very religious person. But if Jesus (the human being) could see what his followers have become, he would be disgusted. I don't know how they can read the bible and say that Trump is the sort of person it heralded. There is a major cognitive dissonance in the miswired brains of these 'evangelicals'.
That is the "beauty" of that book. It is self-contradictory. It can and has been used to justify anything. Almost everyone reads just the bits they like and ignore the rest. Taken as a whole it is on par for what you would expect from 2 millennia old shepherds. Not some divinely inspired work of absolute truth.
With a blindfold in the shape of their favorite preacher. You can make any book say anything, if you only read the parts that say what you want.
That's the neat part: they have never opened that book.
