    Its been my go to theory for years now. If god and the devil exist then the devils greatest trick was to convince christians that it was god and trump is their christ. Or as all the real christians call him the anti-christ.

    I had this thought a few years ago when some god botherer wouldn’t shut up and used that ignorant line about the devils greatest trick was to convince humanity that it didn’t exist. I said that isn’t a very good trick and expanded that the best kind of trick would be to convince humanity that it was god so every time people said praise god they would really be praising the devil.

    I didn’t not make a friend that day but at least that sad sack of shit shut up and left me alone.

    Edit: that not they

      Even better part of your statement… it checks out theologically. The bible actually specifically says that Satan can disguise himself as an angel of light. and it specifically predicts the antichrist specifically will convince people that he is holy, and people who think they are doing god’s work will follow him.
