Indeed, the USA is turning into the WASP version of 1979 Iran.
Religion is a scam. The biggest religion is the biggest scam. Don't believe in this nonsense.
I remember watching a skit where someone time travels like 50-100 years into the future to see if all the problems get solved, war, climate change, etc. the guy assures everything fine and reveals the solution. The rapture came and took all of the religious people away. Everyone left was easily able to work together to solve all the issues.
Lol that's great.
What? I searched for it and it's not a joke? There's an actual Faith office in the USA? That's something you would expect in Iran, not the USA
I follow a guy (Matt Taylor) who studies a branch of Christianity called the New Apostolic Reformation, a branch that's like if Evangelical theology, prosperity gospel, and morals merged with traditional charismatics. Lots of prophecies. These are also the Seven Mountains Mandate people--the people who believe they should be in charge of the 7 pillars of culture, like media and education. He posted a a zoomed out version of the above picture, labeling everyone he recognizes from NAR. The NAR has been courting Trump since his first term. Trump is delivering for them.
Where the fuck is Hegseth holding the Jerusalem Cross flag?
We talking Iran, the secular democracy prior to 1953? Or Iran, the US backed military dictatorship that lasted until 1979? Or Iran, the Revolutionary Socialist Government that imploded in the run up to the US instigated Iran-Iraq War?
Oh oh oh. I gotcha. We're talking about the modern theocratically controlled ~~Kingdom of Saud~~ uh... ~~Hinduvista Federal government of India~~ um... ~~Revanchist Anti-Communist Christian Cult of the Park/Yoon government~~ er... ~~Apartheid State of Israel~~ oh, here it is, Ayatollah's Iran.
Damn, can't believe America would end up like Evil Foreign Country, instead of a model liberal secular government we traditionally support.
trump established a White House Faith Office on Friday, February 7, 2025.
she's the first one.
no one knows exactly what she plans to do....or even what she could or might do.
Welcome to 2025.
America isn't like this since last month
But the madness has really ramped up lately.
Faith office in the USA? That’s something you would expect in Iran, not the USA
Iran... Or Saudi Arabia... Imperial drones always choose to attack one but not the other.
Personally I'm not at all surprised to see it here.
The Founding Fathers were VERY CLEAR when it came to Protecting Mass Child Murderers but VERY MURKY when it came to Separation of Church and State!
100s of 1000s of $$
This is cursed and looks like "hundreds or thousands of dollars" at a glance. Just say "100,000s of dollars" or "$200,000+".
I think "100,000s of dollars" is cursed too. If you want to use that phrasing, just spell out "hundreds of thousands".
Or a six figure sum.
I would say $100K+ & provide a link. Idk. It's nice & short, it's lowball & true to say, and if people want to look up more accurate numbers they can do so on their own time.
Who is she?
Edit: never mind: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_White
Edit 2: she is a prosperity theologian? Tbf, I am no christian, but i really doubt this is what Jesus wanted.
Supply Side Jesus would disagree.
There's only one point in the bible where someone actually asks Jesus how to receive eternal life. Jesus says to keep the commandments and also:
"Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me.”
Yeah no shit... Jesus would be fashioning a whip to drive these fuckers out of his temple.
If he were real.
St. Peter will deny her worthless greedy ass at the gate.
married a member of the rock band Journey
Is that why she didn't stop believing? (I'm guessing she never started, but...)

Well done
God forbid women have hobbies 🙄
How deep in denial of being trailer trash do you have to be to wear gold pearls?
Strange place.
There are many possible points of disagreement within Christianity because, like it or not, the Bible is unclear and even contradicts itself on many subjects (and this is a Christian saying this). But prosperity theology is so clearly the opposite of everything in the Bible that any self-respecting evangelical should ostracize it. That they don't is the proof that the gospel is not what many evangelicals are interested in.
What she cites the bible for
Though she clarified that donations wouldn’t actually go to help those infected, White used medical imagery to add urgency to her fundraising plea during a pandemic. “Every single day we are a hospital to the sick, not necessarily the physically sick,” she said. “But we are a hospital for those who are soul sick, those who are spiritually sick.” White went on to suggest that contributors offer a $91 donation, citing Psalm 91, or “maybe $9 or whatever God tells you to do.”
What I cite the bible for
Matthew 21:12-13 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’
To reinforce this, Jesus didn't just say it was hard for a rich person to get into heaven, he said "And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich [person] to enter into the kingdom of God." --Matthew 19:23-26
Personally, I think this is specifically referring to the level of greed that it requires to hoard enough wealth to become (and stay) a billionaire while the world suffers. It's important to understand that this is our Bible, the foundation of everything Christianity is supposed to be about. These freaks have twisted it so much, it's unrecognizable...
No issues with you comment, but I find it disheartening that leadership in churches around the country do not condemn what is happening
Grifters gotta grift.
Has there always been a White House faith office?
And Trump says it is to protect Christians because they're being heavily persecuted. Those poor poor Christians.
She sounds overqualified for the position.
What is a Faith Officer?
Its the precursor to Y'all Quaida's version of the hijab police. They'll be murdering people in the streets before the year is out.
Something, something, separation of church and state, would be my guess.
