I do have a problem with Donald making something like his "favorite book" a campaign slogan that he has used numerous times as a ploy for votes

Trump isn't campaigning on his religion. Saying that the Bible is his favorite book is not a campaign slogan. However, it seems you have no problem of Cruz calling on his supporters to wear "the armor of Christ". Cruz also believes he has been destined by God to be POTUS. Where is you outrage there.

He had proven he has no idea what was contained in-between the covers.

Because he doesn't quote the scripture? What is this, the Inquisition? I didn't realize we were electing the Pontiff of the United States. Here, why don't you let Trump's religious convictions be between him and God. Furthermore, it can be said that Cruz obviously doesn't either, as a real Christian wouldn't use God and the Bible as a means to further one's secular career.

Trump tried and it backfired. Here in Mobile he even started his Mobile speech talking about how much he loved Billy Graham.

Saying that the Bible is his favorite book is not a campaign slogan.

After you repeat it enough it is.

I had bookmarked a video that had a compilation of Trump saying how much he loved the Bible (his favorite book). Dozens of times.

However, it seems you have no problem of Cruz calling on his supporters to wear "the armor of Christ".

Of course I have no problem with it, why should I?

How do you select a leader? Well to each his own I guess. There is guildlines in the Bible though for Christians.

Moses got these instructions.

"Look for able men from all the people, men who FEAR GOD, who are TRUSTWORTHY and HATE A BRIBE, and place such men over the people" - Exodus 18:21.

You can run Trump by each of those yourself. I did.

One pastor put in down as 5 guidelines.

1. Is the person "able". Faculty, power, strength, ability, competence, capability, qualified for a task

2. Character... strong character, noble character.

3. Reverence for God.

4. Trustworthiness - truth, firmness, faithfulness, reliability, stability

5. Integrity in financial matters - hates a bribe, above reproach and whose hands are clean.

I didn't realize we were electing the Pontiff of the United States.

No, just electing a person for perhaps the most powerful job in the world. You apply your criteria for voting, my family probable applies a whole different approach.

I imagine we have talked the subject to death. Have a good day PJ, you can have the last word if you so deem.
