What is the logic, behind evangelical Christians believing God spared Trump from assassination?

Asked by MrGrimm888 (19588points) August 14th, 2024

As many of you know, I am an atheist.
I’m trying to understand, why this “theory” has ANY traction.

Did God “punish” the Christian people who were shot and/or died?
Does God, need Trump?
If God was protecting Trump, why was he hit at all?
If God could stop Trump from being shot, couldn’t he have just stopped Crooks from shooting?
Is God’s power, inconsistent?
Does God simply value some people, more than others?
Was this good use, of God’s time, considering hundreds of millions of us suffer each day?
If it has something to do with returning Jews to Israel, why has God allowed Israel to be involved in their current military conflict where we’re awaiting an Iranian backed strike from all around?

We’ve ALL lost some really important, and loved people in our lives. Why didn’t God save them?

Like I said, I’m curious about the logic behind such thinking.
