It is harder for a rich man to enter heaven than for a camel to go through an eye of the needle.
But him to suddenly be fixated on this does lend credence to those weird bruises and swellings actually representing some rapid decline in his health.

The most unhinged thing about this to me as someone raised christian is that, for all the guy belongs in hell, one of the most basic tenets of Christianity is that if you truly repent and ask forgiveness, no matter what you did, you go to heaven. If you don't, no matter what you did, you go to hell. So he doesn't need to do anything to go to heaven except be sorry he did shitty things and know about jeeby creeby.
That's not universally true in Christianity, though it's very common. Faith vs works and all that.
Sometimes, in my darkest hours, I imagine that Jesus is carrying me. When I was on my eight-day speed/armed-robbery binge, I could actually feel Him pick me up in his arms and carry me away from the vomit-soaked apartment. He even stopped so I could throw away the gun. Jesus is a friend, a partner, and an accomplice.
Bwaha
lmao at the publish date
Yeah, I thought this was gonna go in a different direction
Personally hate this concept of Christianity. Like all of these ideas about faith and believing in the ideals that unpin said faith, if you really believe then your actions should reflect your belief. The idea that you can be a shitty person and then wash it all away because you did the lil trick where you prayed it away doesn’t even make sense.
Don’t get me wrong, there’s far more that cracks this idea (what about sociopaths who have the literal inability to feel empathy? Is it fair to judge them equally?), but just a cursory observation leads one to question the idea of full easy forgiveness.
If you really believe, and there's an all knowing, all loving, all powerful god, even the idea of having to pray for forgiveness makes no sense. God would already know. But because Christianity originally developed as a doomsday cult and was co-opted by royalty to keep the people in line it's not shocking the aberrations that develop.
Also, my point was that if he has had a conversion moment that should properly involve a literal conversion, repentance, and a resolution to do the right thing going forward, not the language he's using implying "earning" his way into heaven.
It’s just sad. There’s a ton more that I could really say but anyone who has dealt with moving away from Christianity or evangelicalism largely already understands.
Tbh I don't think he'll show true repentence. It may seem like it because the prospect of going to hell scares the hell out of him. But his actions will be rotten to the end and that will undercut this repentence
There is an approximately 110% chance he neither knows nor cares how Christianity works.
Yeah something tells me “righting wrongs committed” is a big part of any flavor of heaven and I don’t think he has enough time left on earth to do so lol
Shit closest a US president doing that would be something like Jimmy Carter. No way trump does even a fraction of that
Lol my guy is teleporting to hell
Disneyland fast track lane straight to hell
The most unhinged man if he thinks he is going to heaven. If heaven is real, he is going to hell so damn quick that we will be hearing a sonic boom when he bites it.
I was just thinking that if a heaven had a rating system, one rating factor could be how many people go “LOL LMAO” when you almost get shot in the head
He's gonna attack and dethrone God
The sequel to Philip Roth's Our Gang, in which Richard Nixon is assassinated (by the Boy Scouts, I think?), goes to Hell, and runs for Satan
there's only one way into heaven for donald trump, and it's by force!
invading greece
Is Trump just the MC from shin megami tensei?
Maybe God is sending Trump dreams...horrifying, horrifying dreams.
Trump is dreaming in hieronymous bosch paintings
Got bad news for you bro
Guy who served as a capitalist all his life wants to go to communism in the skies after he is dead.
Wow. This already feels like months ago.
Old people on their way out tend to find god after a lifetime of fairweather Christianity.
he saw on the news he was dead and had a moment of self awareness
I take solace in the fact that all these billionaires are absolutely terrified of death
