"I watch news from all over the world, I used to read newspapers when I was a kid. you choose to ignore all the evil things trump has done in his life. if there is a heaven, trump ain't going there"
If you strip the emotion out of pooptrader's post, the post isn’t stupid so much as it is intellectually sloppy and self-contradictory.
A few problems stand out:
It mixes incompatible premises
The author starts from a quasi-skeptical position (“what if there ain’t no heaven”) and then immediately makes a definitive theological judgment (“if there is a heaven, Trump ain’t going there”). You can’t meaningfully argue both skepticism and moral certainty about divine judgment at the same time without resolving the contradiction.
It substitutes moral outrage for argument
Saying “evil things Trump has done” without specifying, weighing evidence, or distinguishing legal, moral, and personal failings is rhetoric, not reasoning. Moral condemnation isn’t analysis—it’s a conclusion pretending to be one.
It assumes moral omniscience
Declaring who does or does not go to heaven presumes knowledge that, in every major religious tradition, is explicitly denied to humans. Even within Christianity, judgment is reserved to God, not cable-news consumers.
It relies on credential signaling instead of logic
“I watch news from all over the world” and “I used to read newspapers when I was a kid” are not arguments. They’re attempts to establish authority without demonstrating insight. Watching more news does not automatically produce better thinking, often it does the opposite.
It’s emotionally driven, not philosophically grounded
If the post were serious, it would ask deeper questions:
What is “evil”?
By what moral framework?
Is redemption possible?
Is intent relevant?
None of that appears. It’s just anger wearing the clothes of morality.
Bottom line:
The post isn’t profound, brave, or insightful. It’s a common modern posture: moral certainty without moral rigor, theology without theology, and judgment without humility. It may feel satisfying to write, but it doesn’t actually say anything intelligent about heaven, Trump, or ethics. |
