This may be the best and most honest political promotion statement you will ever read. It decidedly does not brush objections aside.

You hate Hillary? READ it. You hate Trump? READ it. You think there's no choice? READ it. And, read it with your grown-up hat on.

We've all been dealt huge responsibility with this election. The first step toward accepting responsibility is accepting it, and the first step toward accepting it is recognizing it.

READ THIS. Read every single word. It'll take you about three minutes. Be sure to read to the end (take a few minutes and read all of it!) For those who are godless, don't bother, you are a lost soul....

Are you sickened and despondent with the current campaign and upcoming presidential election?
I consider myself a conservative and do truly believe our country is at a political/economic/moral/ social crossroads. I need to let you know I could/would never vote for Hillary Clinton to lead this country. To me, she represents everything that is wrong with our current political structure. On the flip side, I look and listen to Donald Trump and I cringe at every rude, insulting comment he makes.

If you find yourself in a similar state of mind, please read the following article:

A Message For Christians About Donald Trump

Here's a famous joke about God and how he talks to us.

"A deeply faithful Christian man is stuck on roof at home with massive flooding up to the 2nd floor. Rowboat comes. He says "No, I'm waiting for God. I prayed and I know he's coming." 2nd Rowboat. "No, I'm waiting for God." 3rd Rowboat. "No, I'm waiting for God."

Water rises. The man drowns. Now he's meeting God in heaven. The religious man says, "Where were you God? I prayed. I was faithful. I asked you to save me. Why would you abandon me?"

God says, "Hey, I sent you 3 rowboats."
Did you ever consider Trump is our rowboat?

Maybe God is trying to tell us something important--that now is not the time for a "nice Christian guy" or a "gentleman" or a typical Republican powder puff. Maybe now is the time for a natural born killer, a ruthless fighter, a warrior. Because right about now we need a miracle, or America is finished. Maybe the rules of gentlemen don't apply here. Maybe a gentleman and "all-around nice Christian" would lead us to slaughter.

Or do you want another Mitt Romney, Bob Dole, John McCain, Gerald Ford or Paul Ryan? Did any of them win? Did they lead the GOP to "the promised land?" Did they change the direction of America ? No, because if you don't win, you have no say.

Paul Ryan couldn't even deliver his own state, Wisconsin ! And as leader of the House, Paul Ryan rolls over to Obama like my dog rolls over for a scrap of food, or a steak bone. Nice, but obedient. I mean Paul Ryan...not my dog. My dog is actually a pretty good defender and loyal.

Maybe God is knocking on your door loudly, but you're not listening. Maybe God understands we need a "war leader" at this moment in time. Maybe God understands if we don't win this election, America is dead. It's over. The greatest nation in world history will be gone. Finished. Kaput. Adios.

And with one last breath, maybe what we need to save us at the last second, is someone different. Someone you haven't ever experienced before-- because you weren't raised in rough and tumble New York where nothing good gets accomplished unless you're combative, aggressive, outrageous, on offense at all times, and maybe just a tad arrogant too.

Someone with a personality you've never seen on stage at your church. Maybe, just maybe, being a nice gentlemanly Christian would not beat Hillary and her billion dollars, and her best friends in the media who will unleash the dogs of hell upon the GOP nominee.

I guess you think God is only nice and gentlemanly. Really? Then you've missed the whole point of the Bible. When necessary, God is pretty tough. When necessary, God strikes with pain, death and destruction. When necessary, God inflicts vengeance.
Maybe you think God couldn't possibly be associated with someone like Trump. Trump is too vicious, rude and crude.

When we won WWII, was God "nice?" Were we gentlemanly when defeating Hitler? Were we gentlemanly when firebombing Germany? Were we gentlemanly when dropping atomic bombs on Japan ? Is God ever "nice" on the battlefield? Or does he send us vicious SOB's like General George S. Patton so the good guys can defeat evil?



It's pretty clear to me God sends unique people to be "war leaders." That's a different role than a pastor or church leader. God understands that.

And maybe it's time to re-define "nice." Maybe Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan aren't nice at all--because they led us to defeat. And losing again would mean the end of America . And God can't allow that. Maybe Romney and Ryan mean well, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Or maybe they're just jealous they had their chance and blew it. Maybe they'd rather help elect Hillary than allow a Trump victory that would make them look weak, feckless and incompetent.

"Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint." (Isiah 40:30-31)

God is about miracles. We don't need a "nice guy" or a "gentleman" right now. It's the 4th quarter and we're losing 14-0. We need a miracle.

So let me repeat my message to Christians: "YOU'RE MISSING THE BOAT."

I believe Trump is our miracle. I believe Trump is our rowboat. Except he's more like a battleship!

No one is saying Trump is perfect. No one is saying Trump is a perfect conservative. But he is a patriot. He is a warrior. He is a capitalist. He is the right man, at the right time. Yes, he's a bit rude and crude and offensive. But that may make him the perfect warrior to save America American exceptionalism, capitalism and Judeo-Christian values. The choice should be easy for Christians.


It's Trump...or it's the end of the American dream.
 
We all have a choice.......for good, for evil, or to pick a designated hitter.

HAHAH You changed your quote....

Ill say this..... I am not an atheist. I believe in a supreme being.... just not quite sure yet... Which one LOL..


I have been having a very very good conversation with my colleges about the recent elections....... I will say this.


If I turned the TV off and listed to just the audio portion, more so the context of what the person was implying...... This is where I truly get my pick.

Trump "acts" like an idiot, I find myself yelling at the TV telling him to "shut up", BUT is context, policies and retorts carry weight.

Perpetuation of the current machine is not what we need..... we either need to toss it out and go with something new, even if it fails, its better then continuing to use a machine that doesnt work or does a half @$$ job...... you keep changing the machine until you find something that works. Its like golf, You go to the store pick a putter, try it, if it doesnt work you go back and try another.... but you dont take the putter that doesnt work and keep bending it, shaping it, changing the grips etc until it works, just go out and find one that actually works.... there are some many viable options.......


With that.... its funny... "lesser" of 2 evils.... well....... I dont know about that.... its 2 evils at this point... but with one evil theres a possibility of change just by keeping their mouth shut. The other side.... well has policies that would and could collapse the foundation.......


Enjoy the spam and vienna sausage people..... its coming down....

As Christians, I think we are all in for some challenges in the future.
 
Maybe Hillary is the lifeboat. Maybe civilization cant be saved until this experiment in collectivism has run its course.

Given Globalist Granny's campaign's Catholics are, "backwards," statement, I doubt it. Not to mention the left's desire to drive God out.
 
This thread belongs in the Religious Section. The title should read "Christian God wants Trump." Its amazing how conservative Christians think they know what a supreme being is thinking. Its quite humorous. The op reads better with a tin foil hat.

I criticized Bush and deservedly so but I would prefer him to trump the ego maniac. He managed to avoid using his flight education and training in war but he still served. The orange yahoo was born with a silver spoon up his ass and his major accomplishment is avoiding (evading?) taxes. This is the same guy who took out a NYT add criticizing Reagan. This is your "battleship"? Unbelievable. Good lord.

She is a boat alright....I'll give you that! A boat to Hell!

You got it. The godless heathens of the Left won't abide by a Righteous God, but will vote for the Devil, in Hillary!

Anyone who renounces sin and criminality, want the best candidate they can get. The BP and dozens of police unions and individuals who support Trump, know the score. So do many Generals and Admirals in our military.
Hillary despises the military and cops. She will never be a person I'd support, but is definitely a person I'd like to arrest and send to prison.
So picking a disciple of Satan is your plan, huh?

Look at it this way. Democrats have controlled every major city in the country and have driven them from prosperity into ****holes. Barrack Obama was president for 8 years. The "first black president...yay!!!", and black Americans are more ****ed as a community than ever before. Hillary is going to "break the glass ceiling" and it will be as effective for women everywhere as it was for Barrack to be the first black president. Either she does GREAT and the country wins...meaning we all win...or she ****s people over and people finally get tired of the "first ______________ president" bull****, realize how badly leftists have ****ed over the millenials and more importantly, their grandchildren, and they get tired of it all and start demanding a change, or...you know what? They dont...and **** gets worse and at the end of the day, it REALLY isnt Hillary's fault, or Trumps fault, but rather the worthless ****s that keep putting people like them in power. Lets just hope the lesson gets learned before its irrecoverable.

Associating Trump with Religion and God is like associating Hillary with e-mail security (something you might understand). I didn't know Hillary was a hockey disciple.

What if Hillary Clinton is the one sent to save us from an orange fascist?

Have you considered that, Mickey my boy?

I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to see a "Christian" admitting that his God is a vindictive asshole. He'd have to be, in order to create a world so messed up. But you should consider the possibility that such a being is far beyond your understanding and your speculation about his intentions is purely wishful thinking. You want Trump to be your big golden savior. But he's not. He's going to lose the election. Your big, golden idiot is going to get his ass handed to him and there's no amount of ranting on the internet that's going to change that.

You'd think after 2 millennia Christians would have learned to recognize when an authority figure is just preying on their religion to buy their favor. There is nothing Christian about Trump. Nothing. Literally nothing. He doesn't go to church. He couldn't name one Bible verse. He shows very little empathy and compassion. He certainly doesn't practice the golden rule or "Turn the other cheek". He is extremely vain, extremely greedy, and adulterous. He likes evangelicals because evangelicals, right now at least, like him and shower him with praise and support. American conservative Jesus apparently doesn't care about such things. He apparently loves people who horde wealthy, cheat on their wives, and brag about their penis size and sexual prowess. I guess he also loves people who show no compassion to humanitarian crises and talks about killing the families of terrorists. I really wonder what book you guys are reading to think they way you do.

An adulterous man on his third wife has strong support from the people who have been screeching about "family values" for decades.

The world just doesn't make sense.

Also, he has an immigrant wife while he is running on a strongly anti-immigrant campaign. I mean she's white, so she's not one of the dangerous "others".

I don't know if anyone running that is anti immigrant. Did you mean to say anti ILLEGAL immigrant?

Are YOU pro illegal immigration?

Doubt it. Granny is a globalist. Globalism has failed every time it has been tried. The first time it was tried, God destroyed the Tower of Babel.
 
For those who are godless, don't bother, you are a lost soul....

I stopped reading after this. This just shows its not a different perspective. And its no way to try and get people to understand your view point.
 
I can see it just fine thanks, I already quoted it

now do you care to explain your meaning since mind melding isn't currently available :mrgreen:

See post 18.

You ought to read the Biblical story of Paul.
