In reply to the discussion: Ken Burns to Evangelical Voters: 'What Part of Donald Trump Reminds You of Jesus Christ?' [View all]Cyrano
(15,035 posts)39. Jesus didn't preach bigotry and racism. Trump does.
Aside from their unshakable belief in their white Jesus, (most) fundamentalists believe that being white makes them superior to those of other races. Everything from slavery, to Trump's Muslim ban, to his "Mexican rapists" tells us about the hatreds they harbor. Some even question if Jews are white.
Fundamentalists are a large portion of Trump voters. And if they actually read their bibles, without some money-grubbing preacher interpreting it for them, they might feel a bit a shame.

What color/race was Jesus? It depends on whose wall his picture is hanging.

Reading this, it just struck me: CULTS are similar to how Trump is. Cults are based in religion.
