Picture yourself at a generic social gathering where someone you just met blurts out, “Don’t you thank God everyday for sacrificing His Son to pay for our sins!” If you are a fellow believer you might respond with “Praise the Lord,” or, if you are an anti-Christian progressive activist type who craves being offended, you might say, “Don’t force your beliefs and your fascist pretend god on me!” Or, if you are a reasonably mature and sensitive person, you might think “That’s kind of an inappropriate thing to say to someone you don’t know” and try to politely redirect the conversation.
In terms of the person making the statement, what are their motivations? It’s certainly possible they assume everyone believes as they do, which is kind of arrogant. Maybe it's a kind of religious virtue signaling. More likely, it’s simply something very important to them to and they just can’t filter their words from their thoughts. It’s extremely doubtful that a non-believer would have an epiphany and cry out “Save me Jesus!” What’s more likely is their audience would think, “That really doesn’t do much to advance their cause.”

I am saddened by people who hate President Trump so much, that thwy would give away thier freedoms and rights to prove a point. What is the point? Trump represents (at least to me) the ultimate of the American, no wait, the human dream of success. And what does he do with it? Against all of the hate and prejudice the elites in power (the real fascists and corrupt leaders) he fights to make America great for all of us. SHUT UP AND SAY THANK YOU MR. TRUMP. Any hatred you feel toward him (Mr. Trump) is the result of endless brainwashing by the legacy media. He was president before. Against all odds he fullfilled as many campain promises as he could, while the entrenhed tried to subdue him. He did not give up, he did not give in, he did not surrender. He will make a better space for ALL americans, whether you voted for him or not.
What is all the hate about? I know, your jealous of his success, his power, his drive, his relentless need to prove to the world that the haters are wrong.
