“Christianity”.

The only thing even remotely Bible-adjacent about Trump’s campaign is that he bears a striking resemblance to the antichrist.

Pretty sure Nero wasn’t fat or orange.

That’s about where the dissimilarities end. To sum: they’re both assholes.

Also Nero could play a musical instrument

I am confused about why you said this. We are talking about the Christian Bible right? The book that repeatedly endorses slavery, genocide, absolute obedience to the despots, rape, turning women into fuckable-property, and is full of revenge fantasies?

Still waiting for them to change the fallacy to "no true Christian."

It's pretty convenient when you can instantly distance yourself from the awful people in your group by saying that they're just not "real" Christians. I mean it's perfect. If a person is "good" or does a good thing, they're Christian. If they do a bad thing, they're "not a real Christian." Genius. You can never be wrong.

Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

Try exploiting, coopting, taking advantage of, abusing, corrupting, perverting, desecrating, anything but "infusing."
