It's always funny to see Trump pretend to give a shit about God or religion. I don't personally hold it against him because I don't care about it either, but I can't imagine the level of contortion needed for Christians to convince themselves that he's one of them.
I don't understand this either and I know some Christians who are apologists for him. [I also know plenty who, like me, are horrified that he is the POTUS]
He called The Bible his favourite book and then couldn't name a single verse when he was asked which was his favourite - he hid that under "it's personal", but the real answer, of course, is that he never reads the thing.
The thing which makes so called evangelical Christians wave their little Stars and Stripes is his stance on abortion, that's about it. Which, like most of his views, shows zero empathy for anyone.
I can't think of any other view he espouses which fits in with a Christian world view. Christians don't expect other Christians to be perfect - pretty much the entire point is that we're not and not able to be. But he famously said he doesn't feel the need to ask forgiveness and I see no evidence of any "fruit" in his life. He shows no compassion for people, he routinely displays racist, misogynistic and bigoted views. If those were in his past and there was evidence of turnaround then I'd have no issue with that, but he continues to have those attitudes.
I don't understand why a lot of Christians in the US see him as "their guy".
I'm not saying Clinton was "their guy" either, increasingly in elections (in the UK too) it's about picking the least bad option. But was that really Trump?
Increasingly it's hard to tell the difference between satire and reality when it comes to stories around Trump
Tear gassing peaceful protesters to clear his path so he could go to a church for a photo op and wave a Bible around.
You couldn't make it up...
