Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) bashed former President Trump online and said Christians who support him ā€œdonā€™t understandā€ their religion.

ā€œIā€™m going to go out on a NOT limb here: this man is not a Christian,ā€ Kinzinger said on X, formerly known as Twitter, responding to Trumpā€™s Christmas post. ā€œIf you are a Christian who supports him you donā€™t understand your own religion.ā€

Kinzinger, one of Trumpā€™s fiercest critics in the GOP, said in his post that ā€œTrump is weak, meager, smelly, victim-ey, belly-achey, but he ainā€™t a Christian and heā€™s not ā€˜Godā€™s man.ā€™ā€

      Does willing all of your wealth to your children count as giving up your wealth when you die? Cause that seems to be their plan.

      This is the real answer: tithing absolves you.

      The OG priests were every bit the conmen that modern priests are. ā€˜Give your wealth to God (meaning me, his ordained servant) or youā€™ll spend eternity in torment!ā€™

      In some ways itā€™s amazing the grift has lasted 2000 years, but then again is there a better grift than capitalising on an existential dread (death) that everyone feels and whose aftermath canā€™t be proven or disproven? Itā€™s ingenious, really.
