I know that there are other Trump threads out there, but I wanted to have one where we could focus solely on President Trump's deep devotion to Jesus Christ, God and Christianity as a whole. Let's have a real talk about this man's strong religious conviction and his holy behavior.

Please share pictures of him at church and share quotes from him throughout the years.

He is a model of faith as seen by his pilgrimage to church in the midst of considerable civil unrest. That is devotion. It is wonderful to have a leader that does so much to glorify His name.

 

Slick Willy agrees!

I know I'm being trolled.  But Battlestar Galactica.

I have a hard time believing a theologically sound Christian would ever choose to rule over others

Battle in the what now?

It was the battle in the US, where there was an uprising for a printing entrepreneur and person on experimental medicine called George Floyd.  It was quelled when everyone died of some flu bug.

But I thought Trump was different than the establishment politicians like Clinton. Thanks for confirming that Trump is just as pretentious as every other politician.

And it turned out that all the cops are Cylons.

LOL if you think that people think Trump is an actual Christian. 

I think he aligns with some principles out of the bibles and respects VP Mike Pence who I believe is a practicing Christian, but he like so many other Presidents before us just wave the bible around like it's some magical rabbits foot to give them good luck or something. It also makes them look good in front of Christians and Catholics so they can get their votes.

Which principles from the Bible does Trump align with? I'd love to hear you expand on that opinion.

Mike Pence is a pawn. He was picked by Trump to seal the evangelical vote. Everything Trump does and says regarding Christianity is to "look good in front of Christians and Catholics so they can get their votes." As Christians, we shouldn't be OK with people disingenuously using our faith to get our vote.

Also, in some ways, Pence is worse than Trump because Pence fully embodies the "good, Christian man in politics," yet he's just as deceitful and pretentious as Trump.

Don't you attend Saddleback Church? Doesn't Rick Warren teach you not to judge others directly from the bible? 

Do you think that those who support the president aren't Christians either. 

Based on your post, it's hard to tell.

Judging others is a tricky subject. Yes, there is the Scripture about pointing out the splinter in your brother's eye when you have a plank in your own. But there is plenty of encouragement in Scripture to speak out against those in authority who perpetuate unrighteousness and injustice. Jesus never took "sinners" to task, but he constantly called out the Pharisees for their hypocrisy.

In case you're wondering, I will equally take Democrats in authority to task for invoking the name of Christianity. But the Republicans are in power right now, so my criticism is more focused on them.

Of course you can be a Christian and support Trump, Chuck. There are plenty of Christians whom I love and respect that support Trump. Many of them are more mature in their faith than I am. I can believe someone is misguided in their political views (which often link with incorrect views in their faith), but that doesn't mean they aren't a true Christian.

Joking aside, I though the new battlestar was mostly pretty cool.

Trump is getting torched at the George Floyd Memorial Service.

Wow. His bio says he’s an historian too

Funny people still call it new, since it debuted in 2003. I know Sopranos had already started but Battlestar was the first series I saw that took it's drama seriously. Lot's of great characterization, dramatic plot lines and thoughtful ideas.

What consequences were we witnessing during the BLM riots six years ago? You guys can't have it both ways.
