Some of the theocrats from the religious right have been preaching to the American people about the latest revelations from their god(s) about Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Hillary Clinton
Preacher Michael Snyder feels that his god was testing Adam and Eve, the mythical first humans, when he ordered them not to eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. So too, according to Snyder, is his god testing the United States in offering a choice between Clinton and Trump.
“America had a whole bunch of different choices and now we’re down to two, and the very worst choice of them all of everyone that was running is still standing, it’s Hillary Clinton. So she represents, I believe, a test for America, maybe a final test.”
Snyder feel that if the American people elect Hillary Clinton, then they will have failed his god’s test.
Evangelist James Robison is warning people that electing Hillary Clinton will be handing America over to Satan:
“we’re fixing to hand the future of freedom and the future of innocent life and the future of all life and the future of public proclamation of the Gospel off to the destroyer of freedom, the author of deception, the father of lies and murder.”
In response to Hillary Clinton’s plan to reduce bullying in school, Linda Harvey,
the head of Mission America, describes it as another example of
“sexual weirdness and anti-Christian bigotry being packaged and sold to our children as ‘inclusion’ and ‘civil rights.’”
Donald Trump
Lance Wallnau, a Religious Right speaker and leading advocate of Seven Mountains dominionism, feels that his god has chosen Donald Trump to send a message to American churches to engage in a battle against Satan.
Don and Mary Colbert, who run a Florida business called Divine Health, feel that Donald Trump is on their god’s side. In noting that Donald Trump is under demonic attacks, Mary Colbert stated:
“Satan is the accuser of the brethren. What’s going on right now is Donald Trump exudes a strength that the church is not familiar with and a tenacity and a fearlessness. He doesn’t care who thinks what and we’re not used to that. He has a strength about him and the enemy wants to push him back, cause him to cow over and go, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry,’ so that the strength that we all admire, we will see him as a weak man, and that’s the strategy of the enemy.”
Mary Colbert also reports that a god has spoken to her:
“God doesn’t do anything without telling his prophets first, that’s the way it is. He tells them so that they can tell. And this is what he said to me. He said, ‘Mary, Donald Trump is going to be your next president, but if you think your problems are over, they will have just begun.'”
After Trump becomes President, a god has revealed to other prophets that two stars will fall from heaven which is interpreted as simultaneous atomic bomb strikes from North Korea and Iran.
Just in case her infallible god is wrong, Mary Colbert says that if Hillary Clinton wins:
“we’re gone, we’re sunk; it’s judgment.”
Ohio pastor Frank Amedia led an effort to cover Donald Trump in prayer prior to the first debate:
“I believe that it did make a difference. Most people said, well, Mr. Trump didn’t do a great job in his first debate. Well, just imagine what could have happened. One of the things we prayed for in that first debate is that there would be no technical glitches. Well, we find out later on there was a technical glitch, he was having a hard time hearing because of how his microphone was working. It could have been much worse.”
Televangelist Jim Bakker, who is best known for selling giant buckets of food to those who are suffering from the delusion of a coming catastrophe, has warned that if Americans fail to elect Donald Trump, then his god is going to punish America for allowing abortions. Hermant Mehta, over at the Friendly Atheist, responds:
(Because giving women control over their own bodies is an unforgivable sin while repeated accusations of sexual assault, megalomania, constant lying, bigotry, and flat-out ignorance can just be swept under the rug.)
