To teach his followers that their imperfections don't prevent them from being useful servants. Modern christians use the story of king David as their fallback justification for how god would use an imperfect vessel. David broke lots of gods rules, including having a friend murdered so he could sleep with his wife, and not only did this not result in god abandoning him, it actually meant god decided his own son should come to earth one day as one of this king david's descendants. 

David was a very flawed character but his supposed redeeming quality was his heart. He was always full of remorse and felt bad after doing bad things, and he looked to god when he felt bad. Trump does not experience remorse or anything close to it. The only thing he has in common with king david is a proclivity to do bad things, but that's good enough for a lot of them.

The Bible is all bullshit. Religion is bullshit. It’s nonsense mythology for brainless dorks.

Yeah I'm kind of sick of placating people about their imaginary friends. You'd think technology and knowledge would have moved a more significant portion of humanity away from superstition, but somehow, I feel it's had the opposite effect.

Now days it allows all those same people to meet without being in the same place so it seems like their voice is louder
