Trump Allies Use Faith to Justify War as Divine Mission Through Hegseth and Graham

Trump allies use religious rhetoric to justify war, framing violence as God’s will. This analysis exposes the danger of blending faith, power, and militarism.

Nothing spells desperation quite like posting OLD letters from "Christian" charlatans!

"'I’m thankful the President has made it very clear that this was not at all what he thought the AI-generated image was representing—he thought it was a doctor helping someone, and when he learned of the concerns, he immediately removed the post.'"

As Holly says, it's hard to write satire these days when "reality" itself, as offered to us by the links of Graham, is ludicrous satire of, well, reality and truth.

Holly Berkley Fletcher links to and provides an excerpt from a satirical piece she has written saying that Franklin Graham blames Jesus for Trump's missteps with Iran and the economy. Then she notes that right after she published this, Franklin Graham said,

'I do not believe President Trump would knowingly depict himself as Jesus Christ—that would certainly be inappropriate.'"

Blurred Lines: Trump’s AI Imagery and the Evangelical Crisis of Identity – Franklin Graham

"Now the Pope is saying, Now let me tell you what the scriptures really say. And let me just meet you with the scripture. It's not my words. It's not my politics. It's not my policy. I'm just going to hit you with the scriptures. Blessed are the peacemakers, the children of God. Blessed are the meek."

"In a real sense, with Donald Trump, what you have at MAGA is a war on divinity."

"One thing that I love of what's happening right now is the Pope is not speaking as a political figure or as a politician. What he is doing is quoting the scriptures ans exposing these hustlers like Paula White and Franklin Graham and all the rest of them who have been hijacking the scriptures to pump this guy up and justify all their evil, their wickedness that they've been doing."

"He has such an inflated perception of himself And he has so many people around him that continue to feed this narcissism and this craziness. I mean, he's got these Paula White and Franklin Graham hustlers that are out there constantly referring to him like Jesus. So why are we surprised that he would put something like this on?"

It's a war between a Christianity that roots itself in Jesus and the gospels, a Christianity shared by millions of Americans of various confessional backgrounds, and a Christianity that totally ignores who Jesus was and what he said, and that twists Jesus to justify violence and to place "us" on the holy side as we obliterate "them."

It's not coincidental, I think, that Franklin Graham, who is a kind of pope for white evangelicals, would write Trump at just this moment when Pope Leo points out — clearly and rightly — that one cannot invoke Jesus to justify war.

There's a war going on here, for sure. It's a war between competing versions of Christianity.

"Perhaps coincidentally, on Palm Sunday, Trump posted a letter on Truth Social from Franklin Graham, the son of the late legendary televangelist Billy Graham, which assured him that his 'soul is secure' and he is 'bound for heaven.'”

"Trump just posted [a day ago] a letter from Franklin Graham assuring him that says 'you commented to the media that you might not be heaven bound. Maybe you responded in jest, but it is an important issue to know for certain that your soul is secure and will spend eternity in the presence of God.'"

"'The NFL leadership is pushing this sexualized agenda. Thank you, TPUSA and Erika Kirk for providing an alternative -’The All-American Halftime Show’ with the agenda of celebrating family, faith, and freedom!'

"Franklin Graham was destroyed on social media after posting this: 'Like most Americans, I’ve enjoyed watching the Super Bowl. But the halftime shows began pushing moral boundaries and have become more and more sexualized. This year, they’re having Bad Bunny perform.'"

Swell. Graham is "celebrating" Christmas by preaching at the Pentagon about all those nifty war-and-slaughter stories in the #OldTestament.

"Hegseth is openly trying to transform the military—once a shining example of American diversity, seriously!—into an all-white, all-Christian, all-xenophobic fighting force that will follow Trump anywhere."

"Speaking at a 'Christmas Worship Service' at the Pentagon on Wednesday (Dec. 17), evangelist Franklin Graham celebrated that God is not just a God of love but also of hate and war."

From 2017...

"The rhetoric of a looming civilizational war has proved persistent. Recent years have seen religious leaders from both the American Christian community and the Russian Orthodox community coming together to bemoan the decline of traditional values. One example is the 2015 Moscow meeting between #PatriarchKirill, the head of the #RussianOrthodoxChurch, and #FranklinGraham, son of the evangelist #BillyGraham. The Patriarch lamented to Graham how, after decades of inspiring underground believers in the Soviet Union with its defense of religious freedom, the West has abandoned the shared 'common Christian moral values' that are the bedrock of a universal 'Christian civilization.'

"But even as Bannon and various religious leaders seek to pit the values of Christianity against those of Islam, there is also an internal competition to decide who gets to define Christian #traditionalism. Two of the main players in this competition, American Christian traditionalists — including conservative Catholics like Bannon as well as evangelicals like Franklin Graham — and Russian Orthodox, are united in their desire to save Christendom from the perceived threat of radical Islam. But buried underneath that superficial agreement is a complex disagreement as to what Christendom even means.

"In Bannon’s telling, the greatest mistake the baby boomers made was to reject the traditional 'Judeo-Christian' values of their parents. He considers this a historical crime, because in his telling it was Judeo-Christian values that enabled Western Europe and the United States to defeat European fascism, and, subsequently, to create an '#EnlightenedCapitalism' that made America great for decades after World War II. The enormous amount of media attention he has received and his various interviews, talks, and documentaries strongly suggest that he believes the world is on the verge of disaster—and that without Judeo-Christianity, the American culture war cannot be won, enlightened capitalism cannot function, and 'Islamic fascism' cannot be defeated.

"This is where Bannon invokes the 'Russian traditionalism' of Vladimir #Putin, and it’s important to recognize why he does so. In his 2014 Vatican talk, Bannon made it clear that Putin is 'playing very strongly to U.S. social conservatives about his message about more traditional values.' As a recent Atlantic essay convincingly argues, upon his return to office in 2012, Putin realized that 'large patches of the West despised #feminism and the #GayRights movement.' Seizing the opportunity, he transformed himself into the 'New World Leader of #Conservatism' whose traditionalism would offer an alternative to the libertine West that had long shunned him."
