This is the damage that cults do. She reminds me of the supporters who were certain that Manson was the second coming.

Recommended.

and generally assign to him the personality and mannerisms of a spoiled 8 year old brat.

Paraphrased from Heinlein somewhere. I've always liked the description.

is supposed to be one that follows the teachings of Christ. I wonder how she reconciles casting the money changers out of the temple with her business bullshit.

He isn't going to solve that. Only make it worse. Church is not supposed to be a for profit business. They ask for donations to cover the expenses for running the church and any of their charity work. Hopefully, this young woman gets her head sorted out.

Churches are businesses. They pay their employees, they have to pay for upkeep of their properties, for utilities, and have to turn a profit in order to stay afloat. They offer two main products - salvation and a social role within which their members can fit. They have an organizational hierarchy both locally and, if they're part of a denomination, regionally/nationally/internationally.

I can't really see a difference between Trump selling his "Trump" Bible and the idea of a Christian bookstore. No one would deny the latter is a business. Christianity has been extraordinarily commercialized during my lifetime and it's also been blended into politics to a degree that is frankly shocking. The Trump Bible is peak 2025 evangelism and it should come as no surprise when MAGAs so fervently conflate Trump and their religion.

Ask this of ANY woman for tRump this and she how she answers.

If she has to stop and think about what her answer is, she is in a cult.

He is a like a drug to them. Trump makes them feel better about their own lives when he tells them their problems come from immigrants, liberals, communists, the government, etc.
