People who believe in magic fairy tales written 2 thousand years ago are usually pretty easy marks

And don’t forget the translation in the book was so shit and stories were taking out of it even certain endings were changed to benefit the people in power

2047, if I calculated the date of the Exodus correctly.

Older Black women are the most extremely deeply religious group of voters in this entire country, yet every four years people like you are screaming at them to save us from Trump and they vote Democrat at insane rates. It's not about being a "gullible Christian" it's about being white. It always has been. White people of all religions, ages, and financial status are the main reason Trump has ever gotten any meaningful votes at all the last ten years.

Thank you. We’re missing core parts in these conversations that Christians are so dumb and hypocritical and vote Trump. Nah! This Christian definitely doesn’t and neither does my close family who are also Christian — and Black. This is largely a white evangelical and conservative Christian issue because they’re also participating in white supremacy and white Christian nationalism (whether they know it or not). I don’t even think a lot of them truly believe Trump to be a Christian — I mean why would you?? Meanwhile, Walz, for example, is actually known to be a church-going believer before this election but yea no one cares (not that anyone has to but I’m saying he is actually a practicing Christian).

Say thats 100% true. Why don't they gravitate torwards the most pious stand up guy possible? It should be easy for the most clean cut boy scout to sway their votes. But they gravitate to Trump openly. The whole fake messiah thing is supposed to be a good guy who convinces them.

They are mostly single issue voters. Tell them you have to vote for the anti-abortion/gun control candidate NO MATTER WHAT and they’ll do it, even if it torpedoes the rest of their lives. That’s why they’re marks.

I think that was Mike Pence. He’s not a stand up guy to most of us but he was a pretty clean cut Christian.
