    I don’t know that President Pedophile actually knows that heaven isn’t real.

    He has the same understanding of heaven that my dad has. He believes if he is what he thinks a Christian is, he can just pretend to be sorry at the end and God has to let him in. However, he’s never actually paid any attention to anything the Bible says about what Jesus is.

    Also, if it’s all just a bullshit scam to him, why would he ever suggest there’s a possibility that God wouldn’t embrace him? There’s no benefit to that, only risk. What if some of his deluded followers start to question if he was really sent by God?

      As people age, they start to think about what comes next, and the idea of an afterlife is a lot more appealing than nothingness. I think a lot of non-religious older folks go all in on Pascal’s Wager when they are faced with their own mortality.

      This.

      Nearly every “Christian” I know acts like a.) they’ve never read their Bible and B.) their God has the mental capacity of a 7 year old child.
