I saw this article on Facebook today and thought it would make a good post on this site. It's incredible to me how many people believe this nonsense. [theguardian.com]
The right of kings: people get what they deserve. If the conjecture that god chose Trump is so, then god chose Hitler and so many other dicks.
Yup ... all good Christians believe that God is in control, and that his plan includes who our leaders are.
"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves."
Romans 13:1-2 (NIV)
It is a text like this that makes me even prouder of rebels like Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, and all the other revolutionaries.
