Donald Trump: Prayer Warrior?

I had to triple check.

What’s up nonbelievers, doubters, and skeptics?

Some life news: I’ve moved to a new city… a very orange city. Any guesses?

If you guessed Knoxville, you’d be correct!

Knoxville has one of the biggest stadiums in the country: Neyland Stadium. Few musical acts have ever performed there.

Well, recently, a guy by the name of Morgen Wallen performed there. He’s had some recent controversies and done some not-so-great things, but, long story short… my girlfriend and I ended up at that concert.

Neither of us are Morgan Wallen fans…at all. But when someone plays at a stadium that is walkable from where you live, there’s a good chance you end up there. And we did.

I hope you’re not judging me too hard.

We knew we could go and have a couple of drinks and that the people-watching would be a good time.

…and we were kinda hoping that Post Malone would show up, since he has a song with Morgan and also has a new country album out.

Well, that didn’t happen. We got fuckin Miranda Lambert instead.

But why am I talking about Morgan Wallen anyway?

Well… one of his openers is a dude named Hardy (don’t worry—I’d never heard of him, either.

We were sitting there in a sea of 80,000 people, having a pretty good time when Hardy launched into a Christian nationalist-esque rant.

You can watch that here: https://x.com/Outkick/status/1838698400637677694

He says:

Fuck you. If you don’t like living here then fucking go live somewhere else, motherfucker. The United States is the greatest country on the planet.

And then he proceeded to play “God's Country” by Blake Shelton.

Don’t get me wrong: I love my country, too, but it’s okay to have issues with it.

This reminds me of when Christians say something very similar along the lines of “This is a Christian nation. If you don’t like it, leave.”

Conservative Christians aren’t the only “real Americans,” even if they think so.

Donald Trump: Prayer Warrior?

My first thought for writing the newsletter this week was “There is zero doubt in my mind that people are making outlandish claims about Satan and Hurricane Helene on Facebook.”

Before I go any further, I just want to say that I feel awful for those affected by the hurricane. If you can, donate here to help.

My search terms were “Satan Helene” as any sane person’s would be, but, to my surprise, a post from Donald Trump came up. This one:

I would say there’s a 90% chance that he himself didn’t post this. Of course he has a team… BUT this dude does love to post on social.

This, to me, is proof that Donald will always pander to those who give him the most power, and, right now, that is evangelical Christians. Look at a couple of these comments:

I guess it’s true… Trump does lead by God’s words. The Old Testament words where he tells his people to r*pe and plunder.

This is the person who shared that post:

That was the text he added when sharing.

News flash, Jeremy: coincidences happen. Also, according to The National Ocean Service:

For Atlantic hurricanes, there is a list of male and female names which are used on a six-year rotation. The only time that there is a change is if a storm is so deadly or costly that the future use of its name on a different storm would be inappropriate.

It’s not Satan; it’s name rotation.

The Venn Diagram of conspiracy theorists and evangelical Christians has a lot of overlap:

Pat Robertson may have died, but blaming weather on sins and Satan remains the same.

Admit that climate change is real and take action? Nah.

Blame it on sin? Sure.

Comments From Christians

Let’s jump into a few comments that I got this week!

No. No you’re not. Why do these people think you have to be serving a master?

Well, the first 2 are lies, and the third one just kinda left me stunned and unable to speak.

They tell on themselves with the whole “how do you know r*pe is wrong?” comments.

Morality predates Christianity.

Someone disagrees? Resort to violence. Makes sense.

Poor brainwashed souls.

If I wanted likes and attention, I’d stand in front of a congregation and pretend I have conversations with god.

Also, claiming something is the truth doesn’t make it the truth.

Me: here are some reasons that Christianity doesn’t make sense.

Them: That’s indoctrination!

I know that some people think religion should be banned, but it can’t be more than 1% of atheists. You’re free to practice your religion; I’m free to criticize it.

Big difference between teaching your children and telling them they’ll burn if they don’t believe in something.

Christian love!

I love when I upset someone so much that they resort to name-calling.

Oh, you wondering what his bio looks like? Here ya go:

He wanted responses after calling me what he did. Hilarious.

Well, that took a turn quickly.

I will argue that being a believer is the easy way out. God is a crutch.

I usually recite some Harry Potter back to them.

Seems a bit ironic, doesn’t it? Who can’t cope with a different point of view?

I think YOU can do better, Johnny!

I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.
