I see her "ministry" and am forced to think we have allowed 18th century rhetoric to keep us from calling a sham of religion just that, a sham. Though maybe it's the fault of Christians deciding to be too nice and middle-class comfortable in being too delicate to talk about when religion is a clear, money-making scam. So much of it would have to be open for discussion.
It would seem likely that Donald Trump came to his minimal awareness of her in his, no doubt, last minute looking for something to support his previous lies through the neo-Nazish "news" site Breitbart who promoted the crackpot. Which lead me to repeat that I'm certain allowing liars and spreaders of dangerous lies to get through and infect the American population on "First Amendment" grounds is an even greater danger. It's getting thousands killed every week as I'm typing this.
I'd love to go into her bizarre idea of "alien DNA" and the bizarre idea that "other life" would even have DNA and the incredibly dumb ideas that have grown up in popular and, obviously, even "scientific" minds around that bizarrely over-sold, popularly conceived of molecular structure. But that's for another time.
From what I read around the internet as I try to find out about Dr. Immanuel, it would seem that other tower of intellectual integrity, Madonna seems to be endorsing her. As is pointed out, Immanuel's insane hatred of LGBTQ people would call into question Madonna's past support of LGBTQ rights. But, then, that's how it is with show-biz intellectual and moral engagement in so many cases. It's no deeper than Donald Trump's respect for Dr. Immanuel. You wonder what movement of the Zeitgeist Madonna's trying to jump onto with her endorsement.
