The president nearly met his Maker again. With the possibility of death comes consideration of what might await one in the hereafter. With little doubt that Christian tradition would have Donald Trump downward-bound, the question remains: what exactly will his eternity look like?

According to the Christian tradition, Hell isn’t a place of pitchforks and brimstone — that comes from very early Jewish influences and really gets going in the Middle Ages (as a result of the Black Death). Hell (and let’s remember, God builds Hell) is a place cut off from his presence. The “real” torment of Hell is being separated from God.
I think it’s safe to say Donald Trump has been in Hell since he figured out God was just a marketing ploy whipped up by the priest-class for getting out of having to do any of the heavy lifting.
Ted not knowing how Christianity works, who saw that coming?
To be fair … a lot of Christians don’t know how Christianity works.
