Pastor Mark Burns, the president’s informal “spiritual advisor,” wants to make one thing very clear about the extremely tall gold statue of Donald Trump that was officially dedicated last week in Doral, Miami. “Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf. We worship the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone,” he wrote on Twitter.
He’s technically right, just as Rene Magritte was technically right that his painting of a pipe was not actually a pipe. In the most literal sense, the statue of Trump, which is named “Don Colossus” is not a golden calf.
Despite the president calling it “The Real Deal - GOLD,” on Truth Social, the statue is not made of gold. Unlike the golden calf, which was made from melting the jewelry of the Egyptians, the Trump statue is not actually made of solid gold. “Don Colossus” is cast in bronze and covered in gold leaf, making it much, much less valuable. It is also obviously not a calf, as calves are baby cows, and the statue is certainly not a baby cow.
“The church has investigated the claims about rampant pedophilia”
And has determined that nothing unusual is going on?
and God later sent a plague upon the people for their idolatry.
How long before he’s charging admission just as far as the statue, so MAGAs can kneel to it?
Don Kaaba
It is also obviously not a calf, as calves are baby cows, and the statue is certainly not a baby cow.
Right…bcz it’s a statue of a large heffer.
The pastor doth protest too much, methinks.
These people love vice signalling. This is clearly a giant golden idol they worship. They love their pedo prince so much because he’s all the vices.
Do those bastards not see what can happen to despots?
Can’t wait to see these statues finally torn down by an invading imperial army doing a photo op for their dumb fat chud viewers on the other side of the planet.
A lot of dictators die peacefully in their sleep a night. 😞
They always think they’re the exception. It’s a symptom of their narcissistic personality disorder.
I am Ozymandius, King of Kings; look on my works, ye mighty, and despair …
It’s called idolization. Excessive worship. One way to do that is to make a statue of someone not because of any great service, but because they’re idolized.
the statue is certainly not a baby cow.
No, it’s a giant pig.
Now, be nicer to pigs, they’re intelligent, capable of empathy. It’s actually a giant pile of gold leafed shit.
Valid. I actually love piggies.
Real pigs don’t live in their own shit if they have a choice.
They’re pretty clean animals in general, they just roll in mud to cool off.
I prefer to think about it as an orange turd, perfectly suitable for the eventual Trump Memorial.
Ohhhhhh SNAP ! 😂
Sometimes I wish God was real, so we’d get to see him swoop in and smite these fucking hypocrites.
if god isn’t real it is up to us to make the world a just god would make.
It should be no problem to come to broad consensus on what that would look like!
Anarchy would be it if humans were capable of self governance and not being cunts. But it depends on all humans working together in sync, so it’ll never happen.
I think that every time one of these psychos assumes room temperature. Upon hearing of their death, I’d love the satisfaction of imagining their reaction upon entering Hell for the eternity of fiery torture that we’ve been promised.
But alas, it’s all a fairy tale, as real as Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy.
It’s a nice thought.
It’s obviously meant to be an homage to medical doctors.
I’d like to ask Pastor Burns if he’s read the book of Daniel, particularly chapters 3 and 4.
God struck Nebuchadnezzar (who likewise had a golden statue built for his entire kingdom to worship) with madness for 7 years for his pride.
We’re having madness right now.
We have madness at home.
True, but in Nebuchadnezzar’s case his kingdom was taken from him for those 7 years…
If only we could be so fortunate.
A monkey paw finger curls
Hey look, the brits are coming again!
If only
Trump only lost his for 4
Another 7 years?
Wouldn’t have thought he’d live that long 🤷♂️Well, he doesn’t seem to care anymore.
This “church” wouldn’t know Christ if the Christ walked up to them and said to love their neighbors as Christ loved them.
They would know Christ: they would be in the front row yelling for another crucifixion
Indeed: most of present day America, especially the far-right, would be incredibly hostile towards a middle eastern guy preaching a philosophy of peace and equality and who was openly against the “money lenders”.
If the real Christ came back, they’d call him a lunatic
Far left extremist
…if you feel the need to let everyone know how much the golden idol isn’t a golden idol, perhaps you’ve forgotten what an idol is and why your religion speaks against them.
It’s not a golden calf
No. It’s a golden pig-like thing that is fatter and smellier than a pig.
But also: If they worship Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ alone that’s pretty weird. What about God and the Holy Spirit? Did this pastor even go to seminary school?
Did this pastor even go to seminary school?
I don’t think most pastors study much.
It’s man-cow-pig!
