I have two seminary degrees, and I can say with certainty that I NEVER learned about “the gospel of prosperity.” I also have a doctorate in psychology and am determined to continue speaking out about the pathology of this man and pretty much everyone in his administration. It’s not a political issue. It’s an issue of both morality and mental health.
Every time you post I try to "Upgrade", and I get a message that I can't do that from here, that I have to leave the app. I'm old and tech-stupid, but I'll get there eventually! I just wanted you to know, Charlie Sykes -- I'm not taking advantage of your wonderful Substack.
I'm reminded of Matthew 7:15: "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves."
The wolves - led by The Oath-Breaking SoB and those for whom Project 2025 is their bible - have successfully turned many former Christians against the teachings of the Bible and our Constitution.
Great picture of the dogs checking out the morning light.
I had a bizarre conversation with a "Christian" friend about MAGA Christianity.
My questions that started things off was, "What version of Christianity are we following? Catholicism? Lutheranism? Joel Osteen?"
You'd have thought I'd have asked them if they were a Satanist.
"Well, it's all Christianity!" Was finally their answer.
So, I pressed the issue. "Oh, really? I don't think so. There are lots of flavors of Christianity and you seem to be picking one. Which one is it? Is it your Mega Church?"
When that went nowhere, I went after which version of Jesus' teachings were they following because they seem to be very mean and cruel toward people and as I recall, that was not part of Jesus' teachings.
No answer. They walked away. I am assuming because they have no coherent answers to any of these questions and all of this starts to point out the issues with their thought processes.
Thank you Charlie! It is disturbing and quite scary that so many people that claim to follow the teachings of Christ do not recognize that trump is the antithesis of Christ.
Historically most of the worst things have happen with a flag wrapped around a bible. With oh the righteous religiousity to make it OK because they feed the poor . NYC Archbishop Dolan is seated on the WH Religious Liberty Commission. Laurels should not be quickly set on any heads in this quid pro quo.
In October of 2016 I was on a long car trip through the Midwest. I stopped at a laundromat in Madison, Wisconsin. While waiting, I picked up a copy of Christianity Today. The magazine is unable to take formal political positions for tax reasons, but it was printing personal opinions of staff regarding HRC v. Trump across several issues. In the article I read, the Editor, Mark Galli, opined that Trump was essentially the Spawn of Satan, and brought chapter and verse to make his case. Later, Galli expressed that Trump should be convicted in the first impeachment. Now he is no longer the Editor, having been fired, no longer an Evangelical, having converted to Catholicism; and you cannot find the original article in the archives of the magazine.
For the four billionth time: the media should stop referring to Stormy Daniels as a porn star. She was never a "star" in that industry. She was a porn performer period. No actual female (or male) porn star would come within a mile of Donald Trump's junk because they have an image and fan base to maintain.
Stormy, on the other hand, became a "star" only because of her willingness to debase herself with the sleaze ball. She probably knew there might one day be an opportunity to leverage (extort) something from the encounter. But really the paltry payout she got only reinforces her low status in the sex worker world. As do her low rankings on most porn sites.
Love your ‘boys’. What are their names? I have 3 setters.1 Gordon and 2 English (Mungo, Tilly & Birch who is deaf). I cannot imagine a life without dogs. I am almost 81 and have always been blessed with a dog or dogs in my life. They give so much and ask so little.
The anti christ sits in DC. Like an installment of the Omen.

Love your honesty—and the dogs!
I had to look up “habemus”. Charlie always adds tasty little tidbits to his posts that enlarge my vocabulary. Much appreciated.
What does it mean? "Bodily?"
Trump is:
Antipope
Antichrist

No more bizarre than that you would actually comment on it!
Amen 🙏
