President of China, head of its Communist Party, commander-in-chief of the military and now living Buddhist deity - Xi Jinping has added another title to his growing collection, at least in the eyes of some ethnic Tibetans.

Speaking on Wednesday on the sidelines of China’s annual meeting of parliament, the party boss of the remote northwestern province of Qinghai, birthplace of the Dalai Lama, said Tibetans who lived there had been saying they view Xi as a deity.

Wang Guosheng said the province had been following Mao Zedong’s advice about inspiring the masses to love the party and its leader, distributing “images of the leader” to people in poverty-stricken areas being moved into new homes.

MATTHEW 24:1-8

Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, for many will come in My name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come.

Cool, it’s been awhile since we had a god-king. Nice retro twist.

Xi regards the traditional religions and culture of China with respect even though he is an atheist.

Unimaginable under Mao but definitely true today.

Well, we know he's great, a really good man. President Donald J. Trump says so. Perhaps tomorrow a bon mot about the U.S.'s need for a living deity will circulate. What's left, after all, once you're President For Life?

Wasn’t Mao a Chinese Deity? I seem to remember mass demonstrations and idolization for Mao.

Typical of socialists. Remember Uncle Joseph Stalin, Father Lenin, Our Chavez, the Fuhrer Adolf Hitler, and Mmm, mmm, mmm, Barack Hussein Obama.

On his deathbed, he’ll receive total consciousness, so he’s got that going for him.

No. It was a cult of personality, but Mao was very anti-religion/God.

I'll bet they don't. This is the party boss kissing Xi's butt.
