“Ryan Burge, a Baptist minister & political scientist I asked to review the #prayers, told me that this verse—which is quoted 10 times—is regularly cited by #evangelicals to advance a popular #conservative-#Christian narrative: that #America, like ancient Israel before it, has broken its special covenant w/God & is suffering the consequences.”
Why #Trump Is Partnering With #ChristianNationalists

#DonaldTrump keeps comparing himself to #Jesus.
Whether he actually has a #messiahcomplex or is just conning his supporters, he's playing to a growing #GOP faction that wants #America to be a #whiteChristianNationalist state, with Donald Trump as a #divineruler.
Be Warned.

@PTONPC @ManiacalV @dan @mastodonmigration I think Elmo is lost in a delusion driven by his #MessiahComplex . He is fighting a battle in his head between 1) AI destroying life on earth and 2) Establishing life on Mars to ensure the survival of Human consciousness. https://time.com/6310076/elon-musk-ai-walter-isaacson-biography/

Overcrowding is a dangerous situation. Add to that the observations about their failings in #FireSafety.
Bottomline: It was irresponsible and disgraceful. #Christian leaders should know and do better. 
Feeling benevolent and having #GoodIntentions are not enough.

True - I was on several of the #stopTheWar marches and it was notable that the vast majority on them were left of centre - more #labour voters than supporters of any other parties (few if any Tories), horrified by that invasion
may our imagined gods preserve us from any leader anywhere on the political spectrum developing a #messiahComplex in future
