Trump, 79, admitted to Fox News on Tuesday that he feels he is “at the bottom of the totem pole” regarding his odds of making it to the promised land, leading many to ponder: Why is the president suddenly so hell-bent on making it to the pearly gates?
Arguably, this is the entire appeal of the hellfire doctrine. It’s not really in the Bible at all–there are scriptures you can kinda interpret that way, but you can kinda interpret another way, too. It’s bolted onto Christianity and repeated from the pulpit so often that the pews don’t notice that it isn’t really there.
