Erm, what?
One billboard outside St Louis, Missouri:
A billboard on Interstate 170 near St. Charles Rock Road is catching drivers’ attention.
A large electronic billboard that features President Donald Trump with the bible verse, “The word became flesh”, can be seen along the southbound lanes of the highway.
Yes but which word?

“Make the gospel great again” is one sinister little subtitle, isn’t it.
As baffling as I find most religious beliefs, this one takes the cake. Christians looking at Donald Trump (Donald Trump?) and thinking, “He’s the guy.”
Can you think of anyone less Christ-like?
Well he’s like some bits – the guy who blasted the tree because it didn’t give him fruit out of season, for instance. But the bits that are talked up by most Jesus fans? Turning the other cheek, if he asks for your cloak give him your shirt too, cast not the first stone, all that? Not our boy.
But I bet he likes that part about “the poor will be with you always, so go ahead and waste money washing my feet in expensive oil”.
I’m going to go with “forsaken”…
@iknklast:
That foot-washing business was a favourite trope of my family when they were failing to raise me. They were and remain very deeply steeped in Jesus and are firmly committed to bollocks but this was a sermon they particularly enjoyed. I genuinely think they liked it because they were entertained so much by Jesus Christ Superstar and didn’t understand that the song is about why that is such a fucked up position. The Tim Minchin/Mel C version makes the message especially clear.
Fuck the currently poor and dying because other people will just go around suffering again in the future. Stupid poor. We can’t cure poverty as a concept, so we don’t have to care about the currently poor, suffering and dying.
In the meantime, I have some motherfuckers of sore feet over here, walking around in sandals preaching all over the place. Damn well better look after the bridegroom because…. because COMPLETE ANALOGY FAIL?
I’ve got some good nails and enough wood if Trump would like to take their analogy seriously.
