Clinton's Pastor compared her 2016 Election loss to Jesus's Death ?

Hillary Clinton's pastor compared her defeat to President Trump in the 2016 election to Jesus Christ’s death.

“You, our nation, our world, is experiencing a black Friday," Rev. Bill Shillady wrote to Clinton one day after her loss. "Our hope is that Sunday is coming. But it might well be hell for a while."

He also said “life is filled with a lot of Fridays” and Good Friday “represented the day that everything fell apart.”

“Today, you are experience a Friday. Your Friday is what happened in the last few weeks and last night in the tragic loss. But Sunday is coming!” he continued.

To Christians, Good Friday is the day Jesus's death is commemorated, while Easter Sunday marks His resurrection.

“Friday is finished," Shillady wrote. "Sunday is coming. Death will be shattered. Hope will be restored. But first, we must live through the darkness and seeming hopelessness of Friday."

This comes on the heels of a report that Clinton is interested in becoming a Methodist preacher.

What is the Left going to say about a Christian Hillary LMMFAO !

Hillary Clinton Considers Becoming a Methodist Preacher ?

Clinton’s pastor Bill Shillady told The Atlantic that Clinton had expressed interest in preaching when he saw her at a photo shoot for his book Strong for a Moment Like This for which Clinton has written the foreword. The book features daily devotionals he sent her during the 2016 campaign.

This Pastor's psychotic condition can be observed with his fixation with Fridays.

Friday seems to feature in most of his inappropriate comparisons between Jesus Christ and an incompetent and spiteful failed politician.

This religious zealot is an anti-Friday bigot and should be prosecuted for blatant Fridayism.

Friday worshippers throughout the world will be greatly insulted by this outburst of Friday intolerance.

Well, with Jesus' death you have an otherwise normal man who after his death had the story and the ramifications of it blow way the heck up and out of proportion so as to advance a cause - which in that case was the creation and perpetuation and growth of the Christianity religion itself.

And with Clinton's loss you have a not-spectacular woman drummed up by some to be much more.

In that type of comparison there is a similarity.

I'm ranting? It was three short sentences. In fact it was no longer than your reply saying I was ranting.

And it was a clever response. But that's lost on a guy whose idea of clever is name calling (Boston Boy; demented leftist), all caps and short speak (LMMFAO), and excessive punctuation (!!!!!)

And then your twist to make it about a Christian Hillary is just your ploy to morph the topic into your religion wheelhouse, which isn't necessary to address the topic.

I would like to "defend" the First Amendment from your alt-right "rantings" and say her Pastor has the right to think and say what the Pastor feels .... just like YOU. The Pastors rantings are harmless ... completely different from yours.

Here is the letter in full, via CNN:

Sunday is Coming

November 9, 2016

It is Friday, but Sunday is coming. This is not the devotional I had hoped to write. This is not the devotional you wish to receive this day. While Good Friday may be the starkest representation of a Friday that we have, life is filled with a lot of Fridays.

For the disciples and Christ's followers in the first century, Good Friday represented the day that everything fell apart. All was lost. The momentum and hope of a man claiming to be the Son of God, the Messiah who was supposed to change everything, had been executed.

Even though Jesus told his followers three days later the temple would be restored, they had no idea of what that Sunday would be. They betrayed, denied, mourned, fled and hid. They did just about everything BUT feel good about Friday and their circumstances.

or us, Friday is the phone call from the doctor that the cancer is back. It's the news that you have lost your job. It's the betrayal of a friend, the loss of someone dear. Friday is the day that it all falls apart and all hope is lost. We all have Fridays. But, as the saying goes, "Sunday's coming!"

Today, you are experiencing a Friday. Your Friday is what happened in the last few weeks and last night in the tragic loss. But Sunday is coming!

Jesus completed the excruciating task of giving up his life as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. It was his faith and belief in his heavenly Father, that gave him the grace and peace to submit to Friday. While death had seemingly won, Jesus knew better. When he said, "It is finished," it wasn't meant to be a statement of concession. It was a declaration that a new day was on the way.

Friday is finished. Sunday is coming. Death will be shattered. Hope will be restored. But first, we must live through the darkness and seeming hopelessness of Friday.

You know one of my favorite sayings is "God doesn't close one door without opening another, but it can be hell in the hallway." My sister Hillary. You, our nation, our world is experiencing a black Friday. Our hope is that Sunday is coming. But it might well be hell for a while. (CNN)

So Hillary's pastor thought the Power of God was going to her to the win but you Leftist oppose Christianity so where do you stand now on religion ?

That would demonstrate that her pastor was an idiot. But then again, he's a pastor. He believes in invisible omnipotent beings pulling the strings in the background. Just like you. So really this isn't even about Hillary or her pastor. It's about YOU, wanting to believe in religious stuff, but then pissed off when someone else believes in religious stuff. Half the time their side thinks they're right, half the time you do, and whenever one side or the other loses then you blame either the devil or the depravity of mankind. It's nonsense no matter which side you're coming from.

Which all feeds in to the relevance of my initial post. It's all drummed up into more than it actually was or is.

Someone explain to me how the 10 commandments, "my statutes shall stand forever", "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever", "God never changes", God's intolerance of sin and open rebellion, and "for a man to lie with a man as if a woman is an abomination to God" comes off as Liberal.

Hello poochy boy:

Well, there's that..

And, then there's Trump's pastor, Robert Jeffress, who says Trump has God's authority to 'take out' Kim Jong Un... I think they're BOTH nuts..

Isn't this just a clear example of what the right thinks of the First Amendment? THEY can DO or SAY what THEY feel, but anyone not on their side doesn't HAVE that right, and they'll probably use the Second Amendment to prove it!

I believe Jesus was likely a good MAN, and from what I can deduce from his alleged beliefs, he would likely be a liberal and condemn the hate on the right.
