White House Faith Office

Trump: "So you're saying I have a chance?!"

At this point Americas are nothing but a Ponzi scheme coated in red white and blue, with a penchant for insider trading and conflicts of interest for oligarchs that can legally steal anything they want with no legal repercussions.

I mean yeah, that's all pretty consistent with how most pastors behave.

With those qualifications, she's a match made in heaven for Mrs Trump #4

Why is she dressed like a harlot?
- Walk like a duck

This ladies name is Paula White since it doesn’t say anywhere in the post.
- Paula White-Cain to be more specific and get the biblical irony all the way up.

I remember watching a skit where someone time travels like 50-100 years into the future to see if all the problems get solved, war, climate change, etc. the guy assures everything fine and reveals the solution. The rapture came and took all of the religious people away. Everyone left was easily able to work together to solve all the issues.
- Lol that's great.

  Thanks for that.

Indeed, the USA is turning into the WASP version of 1979 Iran.
- Christo-fascist enthno-state

What? I searched for it and it's not a joke? There's an actual Faith office in the USA? That's something you would expect in Iran, not the USA
- It's a new thing believe it or not.
- It’s legit.
- I follow a guy (Matt Taylor) who studies a branch of Christianity called the New Apostolic Reformation, a branch that's like if Evangelical theology, prosperity gospel, and morals merged with traditional charismatics. Lots of prophecies. These are also the Seven Mountains Mandate people--the people who believe they should be in charge of the 7 pillars of culture, like media and education. He posted a a zoomed out version of the above picture, labeling everyone he recognizes from NAR. The NAR has been courting Trump since his first term. Trump is delivering for them.
  
  Lol what a (shit)show.
  
  Where the fuck is Hegseth holding the Jerusalem Cross flag?
- We talking Iran, the secular democracy prior to 1953? Or Iran, the US backed military dictatorship that lasted until 1979? Or Iran, the Revolutionary Socialist Government that imploded in the run up to the US instigated Iran-Iraq War?
  Oh oh oh. I gotcha. We're talking about the modern theocratically controlled ~~Kingdom of Saud~~ uh... ~~Hinduvista Federal government of India~~ um... ~~Revanchist Anti-Communist Christian Cult of the Park/Yoon government~~ er... ~~Apartheid State of Israel~~ oh, here it is, Ayatollah's Iran.
  Damn, can't believe America would end up like Evil Foreign Country, instead of a model liberal secular government we traditionally support.
  
  Well that seemed very relevant
- trump established a White House Faith Office on Friday, February 7, 2025.
  she's the first one.
  no one knows exactly what she plans to do....or even what she could or might do.
  
  It's like having a witch doctor rolling crow skulls and determining what to do next
  
  She did that for trumps last administration too I believe, without the dept name maybe. But this definitely isnt the first time I've heard her name in relation to Trump
- Welcome to 2025.
  
  America isn't like this since last month
- Faith office in the USA? That’s something you would expect in Iran, not the USA
  Iran... Or Saudi Arabia... Imperial drones always choose to attack one but not the other.
  Personally I'm not at all surprised to see it here.

Religion is a scam. The biggest religion is the biggest scam. Don't believe in this nonsense.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_religion
- Do a little research into Medellín Colombia. One of the more religious places I have visited and at the same time the people are content, generous and overall happy. This despite years of chaos under Pablo E

The Founding Fathers were VERY CLEAR when it came to Protecting Mass Child Murderers but VERY MURKY when it came to Separation of Church and State!

100s of 1000s of $$
This is cursed and looks like "hundreds or thousands of dollars" at a glance. Just say "100,000s of dollars" or "$200,000+".
- I think "100,000s of dollars" is cursed too. If you want to use that phrasing, just spell out "hundreds of thousands".
  
  Or a six figure sum.
  
  Wouldn't that be "hundreds of a thouseand"?
- I would say $100K+ & provide a link. Idk. It's nice & short, it's lowball & true to say, and if people want to look up more accurate numbers they can do so on their own time.

There are many possible points of disagreement within Christianity because, like it or not, the Bible is unclear and even contradicts itself on many subjects (and this is a Christian saying this). But prosperity theology is so clearly the opposite of everything in the Bible that any self-respecting evangelical should ostracize it. That they don't is the proof that the gospel is not what many evangelicals are interested in.
- What she cites the bible for
  Though she clarified that donations wouldn’t actually go to help those infected, White used medical imagery to add urgency to her fundraising plea during a pandemic. “Every single day we are a hospital to the sick, not necessarily the physically sick,” she said. “But we are a hospital for those who are soul sick, those who are spiritually sick.” White went on to suggest that contributors offer a $91 donation, citing Psalm 91, or “maybe $9 or whatever God tells you to do.”
  What I cite the bible for
  Matthew 21:12-13 Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,' but you are making it ‘a den of robbers.’
  
  don't forget he made a whip and used it during this event
  
  I'm a Satanist, but I fuck with based Jesus.
- To reinforce this, Jesus didn't just say it was hard for a rich person to get into heaven, he said "And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich [person] to enter into the kingdom of God." --Matthew 19:23-26
  Personally, I think this is specifically referring to the level of greed that it requires to hoard enough wealth to become (and stay) a billionaire while the world suffers. It's important to understand that this is our Bible, the foundation of everything Christianity is supposed to be about. These freaks have twisted it so much, it's unrecognizable...
  
  No issues with you comment, but I find it disheartening that leadership in churches around the country do not condemn what is happening
  
  It goes on though:
  When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved?
  But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
  So what I'm getting is "everyone goes to heaven, but don't say that too loud or people will be dicks to each other".
  
  fun fact, the "eye of the needle" isn't referring to a needle. they're small gaps in the big stone walls just big enough for a person to squeeze through but intentionally designed so that a camel cannot get in. he's not even saying it's metaphorically impossible he's saying it's literally impossible, and by design.
- Supply-side Jesus would like a word with you…
  
  Pretty sure OP already gets it.
- You might enjoy reading some of the works of Bart Ehrman. I'm an atheist who has been reading a lot about Jesus and the early church (first three centuries). I would recommend, How Jesus Became God.
  Anyway, good for you for recognizing prosperity bs for what it is.
  
  Ehrman is great, as are his books and his podcast (which is called "Misquoting Jesus"). He's one of the most objective mainstream New Testament scholars (in the field of textual criticism), and he doesn't try to advance any agenda. He states clearly whether his points are the consensus of non-evangelical scholars, or whether he's in the minority (which is rarely); whether other scholars disagree with him (and why); what the evangelical scholars say, etc. He doesn't encourage either atheism or religion; he's simply a textual criticism scholar.
  
  It's literally a sin in many sects, not to say those sects aren't entirely hypocritical on the matter, but trading priestly duties for money is explicitly a sin in a lot of Abrahamic religions.
  
  I like Ehrman. I think Jesus had, before the Resurrection, no clear idea of who/what he was and that what Ehrman shows is how the early church not invented but discovered the divinity of Jesus.
- I know most would go back in time and kill Hitler but I'd slap the ever living shit out of John Calvin.
  
  Calvin was totally opposed to this kind of theology. I presume you're referencing to Weber; but if you read The Protestant Ethic closely, he didn't speak about mainstream Calvinism of his time, but German puritanism, which was opposed by mainstream Calvinism.

Who is she?
Edit: never mind: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paula_White
Edit 2: she is a prosperity theologian? Tbf, I am no christian, but i really doubt this is what Jesus wanted.
- It's what republican Jesus wants
- Supply Side Jesus would disagree.
- There's only one point in the bible where someone actually asks Jesus how to receive eternal life. Jesus says to keep the commandments and also:
  "Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go and sell all you have and give the money to the poor, and you will have riches in heaven; then come and follow me.”
- Yeah no shit... Jesus would be fashioning a whip to drive these fuckers out of his temple.
  If he were real.
- Condescending Joel Osteen Noises
  
  Joel is just mad that he didn't think of this first
- St. Peter will deny her worthless greedy ass at the gate.

God forbid women have hobbies 🙄

married a member of the rock band Journey
Is that why she didn't stop believing? (I'm guessing she never started, but...)
- Well done
- Orsonwellesclapping.gif

How deep in denial of being trailer trash do you have to be to wear gold pearls?

She sounds overqualified for the position.

Has there always been a White House faith office?
- No, totally unconstitutional.
  
  Does anyone know the correct procedure to challenge it? It's only illegal if the laws are enforced.
- And Trump says it is to protect Christians because they're being heavily persecuted. Those poor poor Christians.
  
  I've never met a more prosecuted majority in my life. 😔
  
  Tough to be a rich white christian man in the richest country these days…
  
  Welp. Time to meet their expectations.
- Always- no.
  Since G.W. Bush? Yes.
  Obama and Biden kept it going, Biden actually restored it after Trump 45 left it to languish.

Grifters gotta grift.

She is, not ironically, perfect for the job.

What is a Faith Officer?
- Likely whatever she wants to be given the current politics in the US. It's blatantly unconstitutional but it will probably not be stopped. If we don't change course, sooner or later it will be like the religious police in Iran.
- Something, something, separation of church and state, would be my guess.
- Its the precursor to Y'all Quaida's version of the hijab police. They'll be murdering people in the streets before the year is out.
- If you have to ask, you can't afford it?

That is the religion
- America

The religion they are alluding to is not Christianity .... it's the holy all powerful and all consuming religion of MONEY
- Money has been the point of religion for a very long time.
  
  Nah, it was originally about making sure your population had good morals, then about controlling your population more generally, then about making money, then about banning fun for some reason, then about making money again
  It's been quite the wild ride

Who is this?
- Paula White-Cain
  
  Why does her wiki picture make her eyes look pure black? Guess it matches her soul.
  
  Are we sure this isnt referencing Real Housewives of DC Michaele Salahi? Who Broke Up A Whitehouse Dinner?
  And also subsequently married Neil Schon from Journey?

Hopefully rapture comes and removes her from this planet for being Anti-Christ.
- Rapture already happened as predicted. The problem is, literally no one except like, one dude named Rick in Michigan and the Yang family in a small fishing village in China.
  Everyone else got left behind in a spiraling purgatory chaos world.
  
  I was wondering what happened to Rick...
- That's why christian zios are working hard to genocide palestinians.
  https://www.trtworld.com/magazine/qanda-for-every-1-jewish-zionist-there-are-30-christian-zionists-and-netanyahu-exploits-this-15656249

Fuck Jonathan Cain and his bitch wife
- Turn around. Turn and walk away.

It's cause you gotta take it on faith that she's qualified to be within 1000 feet of the Whitehouse.

Fucking prosperity gospel is evil

She should be in charge of the White House Office of Sick Beats.
- US has long been missing a counterpart to the Ministry of Sound.

incurring more material wealth is the tenet of her faith.
more wealth === more blessed
for sure her greedy god and the jealous god are two different things.

She married Steve Perry!?
Also she fucked Benny Hinn, which is just WILD.
Also she looks like a more feminine Bill Maher.
- I wonder if Benny Hinn can use his secret Jesus telepathy powers to make women orgasm
  
  She's holding his hand while leaving (a MOTEL, to boot). The guy is clearly doing something right.

”Just a small town girl….”
- “…grifting in a lonely world”
  
  enjoy your journey, pilgrim!
  
  ”…she took the midnight train praying anywhere “

I give you the new public face of Christianity.

Her faith in Christ enabled her to get away with all that bs. I don't see why this isn't taken into account.
I'm gonna convert to christianity and become a big-time crook. I can't lose.
- As long as your faith makes rich people feel good about themselves I guess.

Ironic that her job is to get people to don't stop believing

Strange place.

In crime we trust.

Takes a sh*t to run for office or be assigned to 1.

It's true there are religious nutjobs in the white house currently, but there were also nutjobs running and ruining the country in the previous government. Let's see who's actually fighting for the Americans, instead of licking the boots of foreign bad actors.
- Spoken like a foreign bad actor
  
  I bet you're one of those ILLEGAL immigrants or iran backing islamists who Trump want to deport. Serves you right. Or if you're a citizen, shame on you for not protecting your own country from those invaders.
- What is the actual point of this comment?
- I would honestly rather not see how bad the foreign bad actors gets, especially with the current administration. The "find out" phase has so much more to go.
