Trump has never been humble or "turned from wicked ways" in his entire life, and he's not about to start now. What a freaking joke. These people are all loons and woefully misguided and deluded, plain and simple.
Trump Will Participate in a Marathon Bible Reading
He will read a passage from the Old Testament that his Christian supporters cite as a call to national repentance and divine blessing.www.nytimes.com
“… Now, fresh from a week in which he skirmished with the pope and Christians accused him of blasphemy, Mr. Trump will participate in a marathon reading of the entire Bible in Washington, the event’s organizers announced Friday. The event’s leader, a conservative activist who once ran for Congress in Texas, has described it as “a national reading of God’s law.”
The White House issued a statement on Friday praising the event, America Reads the Bible, as an occasion to “honor Holy Scripture, renew our faith, usher in a historic resurgence of religion on American shores, and rededicate the United States as one Nation under God.”
Mr. Trump recorded his segment of the reading from the Oval Office, organizers said. He read a passage from the Old Testament book of II Chronicles that has become a touchstone for many of his Christian supporters, who interpret it as a call to national repentance and subsequent blessing.
The central verse in II Chronicles 7 reads: “If My people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
“It’s been a hallmark of the religious right to cite this particular passage,” said Matthew D. Taylor, a visiting scholar at the Center on Faith and Justice at Georgetown University.…”

Extramarital and premarital fornication has been a favorite activity of Religious Right types for generations. Part of it, I suspect, is the thrill of knowing that they're doing something "forbidden" to others, and they're getting away with it. Not practicing what they preach is standard M.O. for these people. All of those traditional values that they spout so often are meant for other, less worthy, people, and not for them.Actual photo, not AI generated.

I dunno, it's almost like Trump is an Antichrist or something. Surely all of those fundamentalists who have been warning about such a figure for generations wouldn't be bamboozled by such a person, would they? Surely not!Just sayin'

The world was treated to a verse from the famous book of Two Corinthians a decade ago.

I'm really rooting for a passage from Two Chronicles this time around.
