This is NOT true for Catholics. You can’t just say sorry and move on you have to make a true contrition and make amends. There is no time for that it would take an eternity. Maybe next time. |

He’d also have sufficient respect for the Bible to ensure it’s held properly and upright. He gets a lot of things upside down. 🙃 |

Where do Catholics get this from? Did Jesus make the criminal make amends on the cross? |

Works without faith is also dead. He has no faith. Most of what he says and does goes directly against the teachings of Christ. DIRECTLY. And he urges others to also go against the teachings of Christ on a daily basis. Which heaven is he trying to get into? |

Once you accept Christ into your heart you will know the way, Grasshopper. : ) Christ is love. If you know Christ, you know that he is everywhere and everyone you hurt is Christ. You can FEEL other people and not want to harm them. You can FEEL it inside yourself when you help others and do good in the world. That is knowing Christ. Someone who mocks others, blocks help to needy and hungry children because they are the children of immigrants, doesn't feel the needs of people who travel on foot for weeks with their children to enter the United States, doesn't care if he sends people to a place where they will be tortured -- that person, Trump, does not know Christ. Obviously. He's certainly not the first person to try to buy his way into heaven through good works but he is the most glaringly obvious one. |

Yes, it is a good thing. Their very presence acts as a deterrent against crime. This has been a long time coming. |

Most of us aren’t wishing hell on him; we’d love to see him try to be a better person, confess his sins, show remorse, ask for forgiveness. He’d be a better president, as well as a better person, that way. But he never does. He doesn’t regret anything. He doubles down. And even HE doesn’t think he has a good chance of getting into heaven, so forgive us for not sugarcoating what we observe. |

I have never met an atheist who thought he was one. Nothing he has ever said or done indicates that he's an atheist. You're trolling. |

But his words and deeds don’t indicate that he is a Christian either. I can believe he’s agnostic. |

Depends on the Christian tradition. In Catholic tradition he might still have some time in purgatory. Anyone who lives thinking about this stuff should definitely read The Great Divorce by CS Lewis which despite the name is about heaven. It’s super interesting. |

I really just don’t think he’s that thoughtful. Maybe as he nears death he will think more about this but he doesn’t strike me as a man with many philosophical inclinations. He thinks about what others think about him, and he thinks about how to win whatever he sees as the pending contest. He has no intellectual curiosity—he’s not the kind of guy who likes to muse about the whys of the world. It’s one of the reasons he’s also so anti science. He never really asks why something is the way it is so he has interest in neither religion nor science and therefore is neither religious nor atheist nor even agnostic. Any of those would suggest he’s put the time in to think about these questions, which he hasn’t. |

Holding the Bible upside down might add to the evidence. Or, maybe he just has…dementia. |

Doesn't have to be or. Both can be true. |

Trump is the anti-Christ. I know you are pretending to be a Christian, just like Trump, and actually know nothing about Christianity or the Bible, but the only thing "heavenly" about Trump is that he IS mentioned in the Bible: Matthew 24:22 Many false prophets will arise and will lead many astray. |
