Trump is as religious as Obama! Donald Trump also claims he knew Ronald Reagan. Let’s ask Mark Levin, what was Donald trump to Ronald Reagan? since Mark Levin served under Edwin Meece. And Donald Trump is no way in the caliber of General Patton, come now he my have the demeanor of general Patton, but remember Patton was taken to the woodshed many of time because he was outspoken, he slapped a coward in the face for shell shock, and he insulted the Russians. Eisenhower had to discipline Patton because of the slap to the face of the coward and for insulting the Russians. gentleman what we need is another Ike to slap Trump in the face

Shout out to Rev Grahm. They have been friends for years He was acknowledging the fact that someone was watching and praying for him.
Trumps family pastor growing up was Norman Vincent Peale. His confirmation June 1959 , First Presbyterian Church Jemaica NY

Lends to the idea that was discussed on other threads that Trump is Patton reincarnated.

“Yeah, the Bible is that book you er religious yahoos read. Yeah, that’s my favorite book too. No losers in that book! Except maybe the non-God types and whatnot. Were there non-Godlian people in that book too? Those losers!”

I think Trump—who is OK with sodomite “marriage”—missed the parts about homosexuality being an abomination and marriage being between a man and a woman.

He wasn’t comparing himself to Billy Graham - he was talking about the size of the crowd. Duh - how ignorant people can be.

There is not another candidate running that would say that, with the possible exception of Cruz.

Cruz is confident, but he also has humility. Trump doesn't have a humble bone in his body. One day he's going to fall from his imaginary perch and the thud is going to very loud indeed.

On the one hand, he doesn’t get it. On the other hand, neither does anyone, until of course they do. So what? Pray for his soul. Pray for repentance. Be grateful that he retains enough common sense and perception of what is right and wrong to be a decent contender. I am glad he has a good attitude toward Christianity. We are not electing a theologian or a preacher.

What irks me more is someone who claims to be a Christian yet holds to all sorts of principles that are hostile to Christianity. Trump reminds me of how things used to be — how most people in this country used to feel toward Christianity whether they counted themselves among them or not. It is the appreciation of the judeo-christian ethic. That does not mean he has to have lived it perfectly. Everyone falls short. The question is, what is the standard.

I am saying that this statement from Trump:

"What's my favorite book? The Bible! The Bible. ... We take the Bible all the way,"

is among the most disingenuous, transparently-pandering statements I've ever heard from a politician.

Trump saying he UNDERSTOOD how Billy Graham felt (facing a stadium full of people) and talking about the Bible are from two different incidents.

In the case of his referring to The Bible, it was because he was at a FAMILY CONFERENCE meeting and HE WAS ASKED about his ‘faith’.

You can ask him if he can name one book in the Bible, but I’m pretty sure that even Obama can name one book of the Bible.
