Trump, 79, admitted to Fox News on Tuesday that he feels he is “at the bottom of the totem pole” regarding his odds of making it to the promised land, leading many to ponder: Why is the president suddenly so hell-bent on making it to the pearly gates?

    His existence is already proof of a sinister creator or lack thereof. If there were a heaven, they would not let one of the worst human beings alive this millennium.

    I don’t believe for a moment that he is actually even remotely religious. I suspect he’s at most an apathetic agnostic. We all know he simply panders to Christians to get their support. He sees them as suckers who he can grift, just like their preachers do.

      I buy it.

      If you spend enough time near people on their way out you will find even agnostic and atheist praying at times, Pascals wager and all that. Almost everyone is scared of death, including those that won’t admit. One bad doctors visit can turn people religious.

    It’s easier for a camel to pass through an eye of a needle than it will be for him and his ilk to get into heaven.

    If I believed in heaven, I’d probably take more solace in that. But I would much prefer we enact justice while he’s living, even if only as an example to others who’d wish to follow in his footsteps.

        Honestly im fine with everyone involved in the cover up getting life in prison. Those involve with the trafficking and pedophilia themselves should be put in general pop. It’ll sort itself out.

      Old people start talking nonchalantly about death when they feeling their mortality waning. Hoping Trump’s a late to recognize that feeling.

    These evil people deserve a fate worse than hell. Religion is only there to keep us common folk in line. If the god existed that Christian’s fear then these hypocrites would already be doomed. All this does is become an escape goat to put one actions and excuses into something that can’t be held accountable.

      I don’t believe in a Christian afterlife (and the jury’s out on any at all), but I really want there to be one so these sick fucks can have all the pain and suffering they’ve caused rubbed into their faces.

        Arguably, this is the entire appeal of the hellfire doctrine. It’s not really in the Bible at all–there are scriptures you can kinda interpret that way, but you can kinda interpret another way, too. It’s bolted onto Christianity and repeated from the pulpit so often that the pews don’t notice that it isn’t really there.

    This reminds me of a comedy bit where a guy gets to heaven and Hitlers there and Hitler goes “I know, I’m just as surprised as you are”
