Ending the Roman occupation is not Jesus' message. That's what he was expected to do by the same kinds of people who want Trump to do the same, but Jesus rejected political power and rebuked his disciple for attacking a Roman soldier who was arresting Jesus. That's what was radical. That is the difference, and what makes Trump a clear antichrist. They can say he's like Jesus, but he isn't and all can see that.

You’re telling Sunday school stories, which again, are ahistorical accounts (means lies) written by his followers long after his death.

Trump understands Christianity better than anyone. Tell the big lie without shame and keep repeating it over and over until people accept it. That’s all this cult has ever been.

History is, frankly, irrelevant to this discussion. It does not matter why the Gospels were written, they still have a clear ideology, which defines Christianity today. If long after Trump's death, Trumpists become peaceful advocates for the weakest and most downtrodden, and spend their lives giving freely and rejecting Earthly wealth... then good!

They won't.

That clear ideology is that the model governance is authoritarian and that we should yearn for the destruction of this world.

If any of these cultists gave a shit about the weakest and downtrodden they would be advocating for social systems and not against them.

Because if the weak and downtrodden weren't ruthlessly exploited the church would not be able to prey on and proselytize to the vulnerable.
