The president himself called into the ceremony to thank the religious leader and guests in attendance

You would think a Pastor would have a serious problem with that. Only in Trumps America.

    On top of all of the obvious stupidity with the statue, it is a terrible rendition. Not fat enough. No comb over. The face is not orange. The diaper is missing.

    I’m not religious, but sometimes I wish Christianity was real because it would be so funny for these “Christians” to be judged by their god.

    Oh it gets better.

    The statue — which rises 15 feet atop a 7-foot base — was commissioned and bankrolled by a collective of crypto investors seeking to boost visibility for their memecoin, $PATRIOT, according to The Daily Beast.

    Sculptor Alan Cottrill told The Times in February that he agreed to create the bronze figure for $300,000 but complained that the investors were slow in paying. In November he proposed coating it in gold leaf.

    His suggestion went down like an offering of water “to a person dying of thirst,” he said. “Immediately everybody jumped on board.”

    Any “pastor” willing to do this isn’t a child of Christ.

    They are a fraud. By the Bible’s own words, Jesus will turn them away at the gates of heaven.

    Why would you think a pastor would give pause? If you can get someone to believe in a magic space daddy, the shift to a magic land-based daddy should be trivial.

        They would also stone you to death for wearing clothing of mixed fabric.

        Religions always pick and choose which rules to apply and how to apply them.

    It’s funny how federal courts are letting Texas enforce displays of the ten commandments in every school classroom while dear leader violates so many of them
