Does a Man of God Like Trump Attend Church?

  Church is as much for the sinners as it is for the saints as long as a person is willing to be repentant.  It's not for you or I to judge if a person is sorry for their sins.  Only each person themselves knows if they feel regret internally for any wrong done.

Is that Melania on the right? 

 

Seriously....

Poor taste for the OP to (more than) hint that Melania is a porn star. Of course, Gary isn't known for his good taste.

[KD in CA]

Jealousy isn't a good look.

Someone give trump a raise.      He’s living right !

[Deranged Rhino]

Trump isn't an evangelical. 

[Pine Barrens Mafia]

It never ceases to amaze me how offensive the very mention of Christianity or Christ is for some people.

 

[Warren Zevon]

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting.

Amen.

He is a perfect leader for the right wing religious people. Fake morals, fake love of humanity, filled with hate greed and lies. Perfect! The leaders of the Southern slave holding Confederacy were Christians, too.

The Nicene Creed is a better measuring stick by which to identify (little "o") orthodox Christians:
 

We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

I've been to enough Christian ceremonies that I don't feel particularly compelled to read along.  Always felt it was more appropriate to listen to what the priest was saying that read the program, anyway.

[Nanker]

This POTUS doesn’t want to read anyone else’s script. 

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

Look, I am hardly Trump's biggest fan.

 

But I don't care about whether he attends church. In fact, I am adamant that it doesn't matter.

 

We are, in fact, Constitutionally prohibited from having religious tests for any federal position, and I think that's a good thing, because it then legitimizes all the pearl clutchers and "Obama is a secret Muslim" morons.

 

Trump has never run with he himself professing Christian values, pretty much keeping his dog whistles to "You can't say Merry Christmas anymore", so I can't even say that he's hypocritical about it. Sadly, I can't say the same thing for all the bible thumpers who support him. They need a serious "splinter in the eye" moment.

All true, but it does raise the question of why "Values Voters," those who say they want moral leadership, would follow this clown so fervently?

Have we yet mentioned today that they were Democrats, and completely forget the historical context of the Republican party being the progressives at least through Teddy Roosevelt, only to have TR split the Progressive party away from the Republican party in the election of 1912.
