If an all powerful, all knowing, all seeing, omnipotent God truly exists I sure hope that the character of that God is more in line with this online parody God than the small, hateful, vindictive god worshiped by a great many self-proclaimed Christians in this country:

"This is your cult leader, MAGA.
A man who is shaking mad that the end of slavery is celebrated.
He cannot name a single Bible verse.
He sells golden Bibles with his name on them.
He has to pay off porn stars for sex.
His wife doesn’t live in the same building as him.
He has lied more than any human in history and it’s not close.
And somehow, after everything, you still call yourselves Christians?"
Suffice to say that I have struggled to sanely comprehend what motivated American Christians who fervently worship a deity they claim is a god of love and peace, mercy and charity, and honesty and decency, to ignore everything they claim their biblical god stands for and not blink twice at the prospect of walking in to a voting booth in 2016 to cast a vote for a lifelong con artist, a prolific liar, a massively failed "businessman", and a serial adulterer and longtime Jeffrey Epstein associate. And they did this even after he was caught on tape bragging about how he randomly commits sexual assault against unsuspecting women and believes he should be allowed to get away with it because he is a "star".
I have struggled a long time to understand how supposedly good, honorable "Christian" people could have willingly voted for such a vile individual.
But then these same American Christians went out and voted for him a second time in 2024, AFTER he had instigated a violent coup attempt that got several Americans, including police officers killed, was criminally indicted multiple times in federal and state venues, was convicted of multiple felonies, found to be a rapist by a court of US law, threatened that if re-elected he would rule the United States of America as a dictator, aligned himself with some of the most vile political operatives in this country, including a certain morally bankrupt, immigrant billionaire, and sucked up to a mass murdering Russian despot and Saudi oil sheiks.
I no longer "struggle" with trying to understand the flagrant contradiction between the teachings of Jesus Christ and his American followers who continue to blindly glorify and enable Donald Trump. There is no doubt anymore that the kind, loving, giving, merciful Jesus of the New Testament has been replaced by the mug shot visage of an orange spray-painted Caligula-like figure of Donald Trump in the religious lives of many Americans, because that is how it works in a cult.
Is it fair to call these Americans 'fake' Christians? The evidence for justifying such a view stands on its own.
TFG
