I Didn't Realize Just How Flexible Christianity Truly Is Until Today [View all]

There's a lot of room for differences of opinion in modern Christianity, but I always thought, as an outsider, that there must be some limits to what could pass as Christianity. How edgy could you get and still have people think of you as a "good Christian?"

Today, when I saw the AI image Donald Trump personally posted on the social media outlet he owns, "Truth Social," I thought "Surely that goes too far." "Surely all Christians will condemn that as blasphemous." I mean, there is Trump, standing in place of Jesus, healing some sick person with his hands, while others look on in worshipful praise. It couldn't be more obvious.

Now, I have to say that I have seen a number of people condemning that image. Quite a few, really. But, I've also seen people defend it while denying that is represents blasphemy - about the worst sin anyone can imagine.

That single image, put forward by Trump himself, should be enough to convince all of his Christian followers to step away and look elsewhere for leadership. But, no. Like the man himself, they have put Donald J. Trump ahead of Jesus Christ.

Un-freaking-believable. Truly. Apparently, Christianity can be stretched even beyond the breaking point.

What's left after that?
