Church Bans Donald Trump’s Name Because It’s A ‘Trauma Trigger’
January 16, 2017| by Brian Anderson
For the longest time Obama refused to use Donald Trump’s name, perhaps fearing it was some sort of evil incantation. A Church in California has picked up on this idea and will not allow Trump’s name to be used in any prayers. Their reasoning is that the President-elect’s name is a “trauma trigger” (whatever the hell that is) and is damaging to the congregation.
The rector for the All Saints Church in Pasadena, CA issued new guidelines for prayer in a blog post. While in the past the church has prayed for Barack Obama by name, from this point forward any prayers for the leader of the country will be for the title only. Instead of praying for Donald Trump specifically and by name, the prayer will henceforth be simply for “the president.”
The reason for this is particularly insane:
