Hank G18Oh the irony that these right wing "Christians" have a golden calf to worship now...
thyroid-2303.bsky.social15Another gift to dems. Make it a poster. Looks like it got TP’d???

Bumblesnuff Crimpysnitch 🇨🇦🏳️⚧️🌻♾️9Just straight up Golden Calf-ing himself for the Christofascists. Looking forward to the toppling and beating in of spraypainted plaster.
laura bishop8What an abomination for these “leaders” who apparently are unaware of idolatry and failing to rebuke Trump.
Bette V. Collins 🇺🇸📎🧷V for Victory7Seriously did none of these people ever see The Ten Commandments 😉 youtu.be/Id6oS3L-D9A?...
Smith’s Hand7It's not a cult. Also, libations, tithes, and prayers for divine mercy may be left on the pedestal. Ask one of the priests in ceremonial long red neckties before making sacrifices at the altar.
am baglereau7None of these people have read the Old Testament. There’s a specific bit about a golden statue that they might be interested in
Cori6I knew they'd get around to the golden idol sooner or later. Pretty much what I've come to expect from the twice-impeached criminally seditious traitor and 34-time CONVICTED FELON sociopathic antichrist fraudster.
Heather Chacon6So many professed Christians just gibbikty gooblty at the feet of outright golden idols these days
Joy5Remember that scene in "The Ten Commandments" where Moses smashes the stone tablets on the golden calf, and it causes an earthquake, and it opens up the Earth and the worshippers and followers fall to hell... yeah... like that.
ice.cream.assassin5Admittedly it will be fun to see the myriad of ways this thing is defaced.

islandnana64.bsky.social4MAGA’s worshipping a golden idol. 🙄 Isn’t that in their Big Book and Commandments stating do not do that?! 😂

NonnaTo34FFS, you heathens. Read your own damn bible.
danesinc 🇨🇦🇺🇦3And the kicker: Not just dedicated, but blessed by evangelical preachers! Protestants worshipping a statue. Idolatry, one of the reasons for their break with Catholicism in the 1500’s.
Nancy Hicks3It looks like someone TP’d it. Isn’t it very like the golden calf in the Bible? It seems like a violation of the First Commandment.

Pamela Crossley2For those who think there's a gray zone of good and bad for Trump take a look. His followers are idolators, plain and simple. They have no ethical principles, no humane values, no respect for fact--they have perverted all government to please their god, and they will continue until they are stopped.

“I keep thinking about what Pope Leo XIV said. ‘But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.’ That is what occurred at Doral.” open.substack.com/pub/lettersf...

Pastor for Trump dedicates Golden Idol at the Doral National Country Club in Florida, as audience gasps. “This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America.”
Scott Horton26He did not invite them to make sacrifices on the altar erected in front of the Golden Idol, however.
pileque.bsky.social2“Let me be clear: this is not a golden calf,” he said. “This statue is a celebration of life. It is a symbol of resilience, freedom, patriotism, strength, and the will power to keep fighting for the future of America.” We have some dumb fuckers in the USA.
