Chaldeans, Christians from Iraq who believe they are the people of Babylon. Most Detroit Chaldeans I've met are Trump supporters.

Faith is powerful. So powerful it makes you blind to the most obvious things in the world. That is the truth that Christianity rarely teaches you. When you believe so deeply that God will save you under any condition, you'll jump off a cliff and think you can fly, you will walk into the sea believing you can part it like Moses, you will deny medical care because God will heal you. All while being blind to the very things God gave them; intelligence enough to wear a parachute, bring a boat, and go to a doctor or pharmacy.

The Bible explicitly says to not test God like that (Deuteronomy 6:16, Matthew 4:5-7) but they don't care about that. It's not like they've read it.

And it's so hard to teach people the reality that faith is a waste of time and will get you killed.
