My first choice is Cruz, but I am excited about Trump... I wish Trump was a spirit filled Christian, but if he promises to appoint Conservative Judges etc he could be great.

Hey The Pope just said today that the Koran is equal with the Bible, so Trump is more Christian than the Pope.

Look, Trump is most likely not born again. Neither apparently was Lincoln before he became President. I still think Trump looks like the best of the bunch and God will listen to our prayers for his salvation.

I think he’s the best arrow in the quiver to smash the Left and get us on the right track right now with Cruz types to follow (he’s got to have a Cruz type as VP). I think Trump is sincere in his desire to make America great again and sooner or later as a result of our prayers, he will call out to Jesus for help the way Lincoln did.

God bless America.

Trump cannot be easily explained or pigeon-holed. That is why his campaign resonates. There is a general sense of Americanism here, and you get the sense that he is a genuine believer, but cannot be put into any specific denomination context. The more I hear from him the more he reminds me of my maternal grandfather, who always had his Bible, but treated whatever pastor of the Church he attended with skepticism.

Has any other presidential candidate in history ever been asked that question?

It's a bad idea to have a religious test for the presidency. You know, Jimmy Carter is likely a "better" Christian than Trump. But Trump doesn't do the BS. He tells you who he is. And perhaps is some ways he falls short or "misses" it. But he is who is he is and that's what I'm looking for.

Bill Clinton was a fake.
Hillary Clinton is a fake.
Obama is a fake.
McCain, Boehner, McConnell, Jeb Bush -- they are all fakes.

Trump is no fake. If he wanted to be a fake, he'd give a more religious answer than this.

I have great respect for Trump. I'm all in for this guy.

Trump needs to skewer those questioners
They are merely tryng to get a misquote for a story and we are ALL SICK of GOTCHA

He should put questions about his faith to bed but invite the questioner to attend church with him if they are interested in learning about Presbyterian beliefs

Trump is right about Syrian immigrants. We shouldn’t take a single one. Let the Muslim/Arab countries around Syria take them in, or maybe these immigrants can stay at home and fight against whatever enemies they feel are oppressing them.

It’s odd that the bulk of these “refugees” are fighting age males. It seems like instead of staying home and defending their women and children, they are fleeing and leaving those they should be caring for to suffer and/or die.

As to Trump’s faith. He seems like a nominal Christian. That describes probably most people in the country. He only invites criticism when he starts talking about the Bible being his favorite book, it comes off as very disingenuous.

Actually sounds like the Trump version of Reagan’s famously meandering answer in a debate with Mondale to a question where he started talking about driving down the Pacific Coast on route 1:

The correct answer for Trump should have been that it does not matter who God is to me. In the US we treat everybody equally regardless who is your God or if you even have a God.

I don’t care who or what he worships- PUT AMERICA FIRST.

Do what needs to be done about immigration and the Chinese and we Americans can take care of the rest.

I personally suspect that he thinks he’s seen God every time he looks in a mirror, but just get the economy back on track and don’t be TOO much of a jerk and we can take it from there.

Not meaning to trivialize any other issues, but he’s pretty much the only one with a significant clue on the economy, and in a crummy economy all other issues of importance to conservatives are pushed to the rear.

I have been told over the last week that there is no religious litmus test.

If true, why ask this question? Who is God to CBS? Obama?

I am not voting for a pastor. I do not care if he is Wiccan. I want that wall. I have waited 30 years and I want it.

Please review appearances by Obama, Hilary and others at so-called religion forums. These lying leftists claim they talk to God every day, that God directly guides their decisions, yada yada yada.

IMHO asking most politicians to talk about God is like asking a whore if she loves you. The answer will be what they think you want to hear.

I’m not electing a Pope. I prefer Trump’s honesty.

So Allahpundit is atheist, Kraut is atheist, Rove is atheist, George Will is atheist, Charles CW Cooke is atheist....

the punditry of CONSERVATISM is filled with atheists, apparently...and we wonder why the ESTABLISHMENT doesn’t like the grass roots?!

Ridiculous.

Watch this and know that Don Trump is destined to be President of the United States.

I am going to write him a letter & send him money, and so should you.

I’ve seen more than one Evangelical say: I trust Trump because he DOESN’T put on a phony “born-again-praise-Jayzus” song-and-dance.

I.e., like Obama, who knows how to spew a few religious phrases in a phony black-preacher accent, and can’t talk intelligently about Christianity for thirty seconds.
