$\"Distracted$ <\/p>\n

Inspired by a different version created by Beau Quilter and shared on this blog here<\/a>.\u00a0What do you think? Does this get the point across about conservative-to-fundamentalist Christians in the United States in the\u00a0present day, and their support for Donald Trump?<\/p>\n

I enjoyed learning more about the photographer behind the photo used in this meme, Antonio Guillem, and how he views the unpaid use of his photo for this meme<\/a>. That article in turn led me to discover that there is a \u201cMeme Documentation Tumblr\u201d<\/a> which it is fantastic to know about, simply because I\u00a0am often curious about the history of memes prior to my earliest encounter with them.<\/p>\n

Have you seen other good \u201cDistracted Boyfriend\u201d memes,\u00a0regardless of whether or not they tackle religion? If so, feel free to share them in the comments section below!<\/p>\n
