The biggest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince a bunch

of low-life grifters and lunkheads that his name is Jesus while appealing to their ugliest instincts.

Some say he had work done on his hemorrhoids.

A snip here and there, and a little cauterization.

Done.

Can you imagine how the women and people of color had to debase themselves to join that group?

fewer jobs, less healthcare, wars, disease, lies, worldwide ridicule and chaos on every level STILL think he is Jesus.

11. "If you want to get rich, you start a religion." Scientology's L.R.Hubbard

"L. Ron Hubbard was asked at a science fiction convention about making money as a SciFi writer and his response was “You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion.” Reddit. I've heard this quote many times from sources that investigate this cult, and those that who were close to Hubbard. Googling it this AM, gave me the quote from Reddit. Cult experts, Dr. Steven Hassan and Chris Shelton are also two good sources for cult and this quote. Dr. Hassan wrote a good book titled The Cult of Trump.

A close second is that harridan in the red jacket, Paula White, who is undoubtedly speaking in tongues as she picks his pocket.
