And finally, new rule, there's nothing on Earth, not even an assassination attempt, that can't be made just a little worse by adding religion.

Basic passive voice

Since the bullet that was meant for Donald Trump missed him last Saturday, Republicans have been indulging in an orgy of magical thinking, saying things like,

Boxing star Jake Paul tweeted about the miracle at Butler Farm showgrounds.

When you try and kill God's angels and saviors of the world, it just makes them bigger.

Which sounds like something a guy who gets hit in the head for living would say.

The internet quickly filled up with images of angels and Jesus protecting Trump, like this one from Congresswoman

Yesterday, there were miracles, and I think the hand of God was there, too.

Steve was also shot, but God was having an off day.

And, uh, that bullet missed his ear and went into his spleen.

And, of course, it was inevitable that someone named Kevin would tweet this video of a flag from the rally that got twisted up in a wire and said, it looks like an angel.

Look, it's an angel, and it's wearing a flag.

My point is that Donald Trump, even if you like him, is powerful enough as a past president, a likely future president, and, to be perfectly frank, a cult leader.

From the pharaohs to Julius Caesar to Hirohito, many cultures have tried it.

The earthly being who is simultaneously divine, or at least god-ish.

I'm the guy who made the movie Religiolus.

And the theme of that movie was, I'm sorry, but religion is stupid and dangerous.

No one thought that movie was mean-spirited.

Not even the religious people I interviewed.

I hug everybody, so can I give you a hug?

Hey, you didn't have a heart on there, did you?

Well, thank you for what he's Jesus, man.

Thank you for being Christlike and not just Christian.

That's the way we need to be with religion.

Enough is enough with interpreting every random event as a DM from heaven.

There's a kind of person in this world who loves to see signs in everything, never asking why if God has something to communicate to us, he doesn't just fucking say it.

Why show up in a flapjack or a frying pan or a Walmart and don't get me started on the dog's ass.
