I do not understand how any person of faith could vote for Donald Trump and those are a big part of his supporters though. A lot of the arguments people have against him do not connect with me, so I made some pictures with things that are maybe more meaningful. Maybe you could share them in groups you know in these last couple days before the election.

    James 5: 1-6

    Come now, you rich people, weep and wail for the miseries that are coming to you. Your riches have rotted, and your clothes are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver have rusted, and their rust will be evidence against you, and it will eat your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasure during the last days. Listen! The wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, cry out, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have lived on the earth in luxury and in pleasure; you have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and murdered the righteous one, who does not resist you.

    Have any US theologians asserted that the Invisible Hand Of The Free Market is the will of God yet? Because that’s the only rationalisation I can think of.

      The rationalization is that he’ll eliminate abortion and transgenders and gays and put the church in its “rightful” place of influence again. That’s what MAGA stands for.

      I think the only rationalization Trump supporters actually have underneath it all is “who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?”.

    I do not understand how any person of faith could vote for Donald Trump …

    Oh I understand completely. They have the ability to believe things in the face of evidence to the contrary.

    Matthew 6:19–24 (NIV):

    19 "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

    22 "The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. 23 But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

    24 "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.
