Yes. America has a mental illness epidemic, and it's primarily due to Christian evangelism.
Christians following a man that lies, cheats, and steals. Interesting.
In their defense, if there were ever someone that Christians needed to pray for (so that they change their ways) it'd be Donald "I'm a very stable genius" Trump. Somehow I doubt that was foremost on their minds. Probably more "may You bless us and give us great blessings as we spread Your word and see Your will be done [which happens to be whatever the hell we say it is, even if it directly contradicts the Bible]."
tbf it is literally in their holy book that they will worship the anti-christ. So is it really their fault?
Yes.
What the fuck is the context of that picture? Holy shit.
The only context you need is that Christian evangelism supports the anti-christ; the physical embodiment of the seven deadly sins, and antithesis to the words of Jesus Christ.
It's worth reiterating. The context IS mental illness.
It's an evangelical ritual where they lay hands on someone and pray for them
Having know some evangelicals, it doesn't hold any huge significance. They'll lay hands on someone who has a broken arm to pray to God to heal it, so it's not like this is a huge honor. Still weird, but this isn't a sign of them idolizing him, especially compared to that golden goat statue with Trump's face on $100 bills. The goat is literal blasphemy, but "laying hands" is just how evangelicals normally act...
Neat, that's exactly the kind of information I was looking for. Thanks! ❤️
Being uncomfortably touchy on someone (sometimes against their will) and taking credit for something that's obvious bullshit?
.... Yeah that tracks.
Yeah, pretty much. I'm not saying it isn't weird, and I'm also not saying they don't idolize him, but this picture is just how evangelicals treat other evangelicals. Nothing scandalous or newsworthy, IMO.
