She sells magical crucifixes and has warned of consequences from God for those who don’t stand with the president.

The president’s spiritual advisor, Florida-based televangelist scammer Paula White-Cain, said at a book-signing event this week that saying no to Donald Trump is the same thing as saying no to the Christian god.

While speaking during the event, White-Cain recounted how the president asked her to join his Evangelical advisory board before his 2016 inauguration, saying, “He’s got a strong persona, don’t get me wrong. Don’t start a fight with him.”

“Why would the evangelicals come out and vote for him?” she asked before saying that “God told me to” join his advisory board.

“Because one thing I said, ‘I’ll never do politics,'” she said. “But when it came down to it, it wasn’t about doing politics. It was about an assignment. To say no to President Trump would be saying no to God. And I won’t do that.

    I’ve often heard Americans say that one of their greatest strengths is how bipolar they are (with a more positive spin). Well now we’re seeing the insane side in control of everything.

      The manic side, I guess?

      And Democrats are the depression (mental, not economic) side.

      That makes their red (seeing red) vs blue (feeling blue) make sense, too.

    Tell me you’re gonna burn in Hell if it exists without telling me you’re going to burn in Hell if it exists.

    Her official business, Paula White Ministries, has told its followers that it can “assign an angel” to those who pay the ministry $1,000. The angel will allegedly “give you long life” and “be an enemy to your enemies,”

    Yeah but then it becomes a bidding war. What if someone else already paid for a divine hit against you? God loves everyone but loves cash even more.

    Of course these scam goblins love Trump.

      “Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

      "But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money!” - George Carlin

    Here’s some real Christianity for you:

    Christ said it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Slime balls through the centuries have tried to weasel their way past this simple truth with convoluted and ahistoric readings of Christ’s words. But at the end of the day, the historical Jesus was a poor person. He hung out with other poor people. His friends were beggars, lepers, prostitutes, and social outcasts of all sorts. He lived like a poor person. He spoke like a poor person. He lived with other poor people. If you wanted to join his club, the first thing you had to do was give away all your wealth. He said rich people don’t go to Heaven, and he meant it.

    There is no such thing as a moral billionaire. There are no billionaires in paradise. Trump and his cabinet are a carnival of the Damned. I do not claim to know what level of wealth damns a person. But by the time you’ve hoarded enough wealth for a thousand lifetimes, you’re certainly past that point. There are no billionaires in paradise. In the end, every last one of them burns.

      Hell and the devil aren’t even part of Christianity per se, it is something the baptist popularized as they are pagan concepts.

      Sometimes I really wish I was part of the cult so I could believe this. As it is I can only settle for that primal fear every person has to experience as they know they’re at the very end. The Great Equalizer. But yeah, until then they’re going to live fantastic lives off of our labor. Not quite as satisfying as an eternity burning.

      Other real Christianity~

      Christ will return leading a Holy Army that will murder everybody who doesn’t bow down to Him and accept Him as Lord, many millions upon millions will be killed… and they won’t even have peace in death, as Christ will condemn them to eternal torture with Hellfire, as He will all who won’t worship Him who lived before, unfathomable tens billions of souls, all tortured forever and ever.

      He’s gross. He had some good points, but He’s no moral authority on anything

    Okay that quote is being very much misconstrued, assuming the body of the post is the entire article.

    First, she was contacted by God to join Trump’s advisory council. Then, Trump asked her to join his advisory council. In this particular scenario, saying no to Trump would be denying God’s will.

    That is very different than a blanket “Trump == God”
