I wonder, quite often, if these people really are this deluded or if they're more cynical than even I can believe. This is from Stephen Strang, founder of Charisma Media, via Joe.My.God.:
And there's your first mistake -- the world is not black and white, either or: it's an infinite series of grays, a "yes, and" sort of place. I see this way of thinking as a major cause of the mess that Western civilization has become, even in science, where two possibilities that are not mutually exclusive are presented as an either/or proposition. For example, the Field Museum of Natural History, at the beginning of the "Ancient Americas" exhibition, has a video presenting the two prevailing theories of the peopling of the Americas -- did people come across the Bering land bridge during the Ice Age, or did the follow the coast in boats? The answer that make the most sense, of course, is "Yes": There's no reason in earth they couldn't have done both.
But I digress.
Needless to say, Strang, being a hard-right "Christian" supporter of Trump, goes on:
Horsepucky. It's perfectly understandable that people hate Trump for purely mundane reasons: he's a liar, a crook, a cheat, a sexual predator (at least in his fantasies), and even worse.
And have you wondered why these evangelical "Christians", who claim to follow a god who taught shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, are fine with separating migrant children, some of whom are too young to walk, from their parents and putting them in cages? Or, one of the latest bits of nastiness, the regime wants to fund its "emergency response" in part by taking money from poor people:
yeah, take away subsidies for heat during winter. That will certainly help solve a health crisis. Which just demonstrates that Trump and those who work for him are not only nasty, but stupid.
Light versus darkness. Good versus evil. God’s plans and purposes versus the enemy’s deceitful agenda. That is the binary way Bible-believing Christians see the world.

And I believe that behind the craziness manifested by so-called “Trump Derangement Syndrome” are principalities and powers.
The vengeance with which some people hate Trump can only be understood if seen in spiritual terms.

House Democrats tell us they are outraged by one aspect of the White House response in particular: The White House appears to have informed Democrats that they want to fund the emergency response in part by taking money from a program that funds low-income home heating assistance.
A document that the Trump administration sent to Congress, which we have seen, indicates that the administration is transferring $37 million to emergency funding for the coronavirus response from the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program, or LIHEAP, which funds heating for poor families.
yeah, take away subsidies for heat during winter. That will certainly help solve a health crisis. Which just demonstrates that Trump and those who work for him are not only nasty, but stupid.
