Last week, televangelist Jim Bakker listed several “signs of the Last Days,” which he said includes not only people blaspheming God but also those who are “blaspheming a president who wants to do good.”
Bakker said that many people want have “blasphemed” Donald Trump, who Bakker described as a righteous man who wants to “help us not bring drugs into our country,” “stop murderers and rapists” and “literally to bring America back to a place where your kids can still walk the streets around your house at night.”

Adonai.
3. Theology. the crime of assuming to oneself the rights or qualities of God.
4. irreverent behavior toward anything held sacred, priceless, etc.
Donald Trump is not a god, much less God. To treat him as such is an act of blasphemy itself. Hint: Trump only pretends to be a Christian because it helped him get elected. I can hardly wait for the first time he makes a statement that doesn't toe the line of the Christian Right.
How do you blaspheme someone who isn't even a deity?
Are these idiots implying that Jabba is the Second Coming?
Frankly; He's more "The Beast of Revelation".
This is proof that Jim suffered brain damage brought on from inhaling all those hair spray & make up fumes from the 80's. Liking the boil squatting in the WH is 1 thing, but claiming he "wants to do good" in flat out insanity. Even more so when you realize that President Evil believes himself to be god.
Isn't Bakker the guy who swindled the weak and the slow-witted?
If so, Beelzebub has a devil set aside for he, for heee!
Still swindling the congregation, Bakker? How about the church secretary, or are you too old to make it with her now?
BTW you can't "blaspheme" a mere mortal.
America IS a place where you can walk the streets at night. Thing is, Donald Trump wants you to believe otherwise and won't budge even when you show him police reports detailing a drop in the national crime rate. The Republican Party has been pumping the country full of fear for decades but now they have a man willing to lie with such audacity he will say it is currently sunny while you're sharing your umbrella with him.
And somehow people will believe him.
Believing Donald Trump wants to do good requires even more blind faith than believing in God. Believing Donald Trump is himself divine so that calling him out is blasphemy requires debilitating madness.
Your kids were never any safer than they are now. We just stopped turning a blind eye to or keeping hush about all the horrible shit that people do to them. All those paedo priests didn't travel back through time to molest their victims across the decades. People just finally started talking about it.
And calling criticism of Trump blasphemy is blasphemy, you senile old dolt.
I am convinced Jim Bakker failed Christianity. Jim, Trump is a mortal man. Not god. You elevate him to god status. Which is blasphemy in your religion. You just blasphemed. To make matters worse, I'm Pagan. I just fucking explained Christianity 101 better than you did. It's time for you to admit you failed Christianity and you were a liar. You would be better to stop talking when an unbeliever knows your religion better than you do
Aaannd we've elevated the Trumpster to religious figure. I guess it's the only way they can reconcile their worship of this immoral fuckwit with their supposed values. Just waiting for someone to call this asshat the second coming.
So, bets that if he brings some sort of national mark or microchip they won't associate it with the Mark of the Beast?
FFS, with the God complex they're giving Trump! Again, I feel the need to point out that during Obama's presidency they were derisively calling him the great liberal messiah, but with Trump they've surpassed messiah and gone straight to supreme deity.
And we make fun of North Koreans for worshiping the Kims.
Signs? Again?
How many times do one have to see the signs before something happens?
To me, it seems like they have been seeing "signs of the last days" for about 2000 years and still nothing!
I'm not holding my breath!
You don't have a president who wants to do good. You have a president who wants to enrichen himself and his buddies, while throwing normal people under the bus.
He IS a murderer (as of yesterday when he ordered the use of Tomahawks) and a rapist.
When was that time? Crimes are going down, not up. We just hear more about them now than we did back then.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
