"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1

It's basically a cognitive dissonance conference.

It's basically a cognitive dissonance conference.

You have also managed to successfully describe attending religious services.

How is that cognitive dissonance? I don't see it.

They'll believe whatever suits them to prop up their delusional world view. And they'll refuse to acknowledge any facts that contradict it.

They believe whatever fox "news" tells them to. They don't have their own world view, just the view they're told to have.

Can you actually find anyone who believes it literally? Honest question. I just watched the video, and it seems to me that he is saying it figuratively and not literally.

Truthfully, I believe there are "fine [yet moronic] people on both sides" of this thing. Religions seem to serve both hypocrites and idiots alike.

His quote will sell lots of T-shirts, either way.

I agree, including Trump.

But this thread is full of people saying that they think he meant it literally and people believe it literally. And I think, although I could be wrong, that is what the top level commenter is getting at.

I honestly think if he took his shirt off it would cost him the election.

Seeing the flabby, 78-year-old American physique in all its glory would be both a literal and figurative "emperor has no clothes" moment for many of his cultists.

He'd just need to have some acrylic flab sculpting armor like Immortan Joe.

Any scars will be the result of his addictions. Did so much cocaine he broke his asshole. Or did the asshole just become him.

The quote gets even crazier.

Really!? You were treated the worst of any president?! Lincoln was assassinated!!

And 160 years later his legacy has been coopted by the same sort of people who killed him to begin with.

2024 years later Jesus' legacy has been co-opted by the same sort of people who killed him to begin with.

In particular, Jesus showing off his wounds was the big evidence it was him and he had come back from the dead. He isn't just being weird in front of religious people. He is selling himself as the new messiah.

His sleepy followers will believe anything. If we are the woke then they are the comatose.

If at all possible for a myriad of reasons, can we please leave your shirt on?

I'm pretty sure that if he took his shirt off, we'd just see how much he looks like Baron Harkonnen.

The guy you're responding to deleted their comment, leaving yours without context......and now I'm confused just trying to piece it together.

Aw damnit… I hate when that happens…

He had a funny one basically saying that if he did show us his shirtless chest, we’d get to see how closely he resembled Baron Harkonnen.

Curiously enough, I didn't delete it. I was just scanning back through my posts when I saw "deleted by creator" on one of them, and since I know I haven't deleted anything, I came to see what that was all about.

There's an option to undelete, so I did that, though unfortunately that means that yours is now the post without context. Sorry. 😅

Like when he held a bible upside down in a photo op in front of a church after having things clear protestors out?

Such wounds

And you'd see the line where the fake spray tan ends too. Looking like an upside down orange thermometer.

My word, this guy is so ridiculous. What a world we live in where it is THIS dumbass that may slither into office, again. Then again, Hitler was a total idiot, too.

Is that what a lumpy piece of shit looks like? Beautiful with wounds? We must be using different thesauruses.

Theyd see a stodgy stump of a torso sagging from lack of collagen covered in age spots
