“Trump is attracting the social liberals and anti-Christian posters here, so that says something about him.”

That’s a crock from someone we all know is an atheist.

And that from a hardcore atheist, lol. At least Romney and Trump are Christian believers, unlike you.

Why would you tell such a direct lie?

And why would you tell such a lie, while falsely claiming that Mormon Bishop Romney, is a Christian, and defending the pro-abortion Trump?

Is that how you anti-Christians, anti-social conservatives roll?

Again, the Trump supporters show merely strange anger, and bizarre thoughts.

So the pro-abortion Trump considers Bill Clinton the best of the modern presidents, and you want to promote Mormonism as Christian.

How is that reasonable?

As reasonable and rational as you being an Atheist.

That’s interesting, so your troll technique now is to attack Christians personally, as “atheists”?

And you want to do that while defending pro-abortion candidates and trying to promote the religion of Mormonism as “Christian”?

From what I've heard, Trump does it bigger and will build a hospital or something like that.

Otoh, some of the rich and the rich and famous just quietly do things that need to be done and purposefully avoid recognition for it.

Speaking of church parking lots and the rich and famous, have you heard the Dale Earnhardt "Church parking lot" story?

As the story goes (from professional wrestler Bill Goldberg), the elder Earnhardt was driving around one rainy Sunday -- presumably not during race season, of course -- and he passed a church. The kind of church where people still get dressed to the nines to show off their Sunday best.

"It was pouring down rain and there was no parking lot," said Goldberg. "He was watching these people walk from the church, through the mud, to get to their cars.

Nobody asked him to do anything. He never said anything to anybody, but lo and behold, one day a buddy was driving by that church and there was a brand new, paved parking lot. Nobody knew who did it.

You don't do it because you get the adulation for it; (not because) you get the pat on the back for it. You do it because it’s the right thing to do

Trump's a lot of bluster, but if the stories of how Trump treats "the little people" around him are true, then I wouldn't be surprised if he has a few stories like Dale Earnhardt's.

Yet Trump has always been pro-abortion.

I’m not attacking a Christian; I’m attacking a well known atheist.

Mormons, a cult with a jesus that is the brother of satan, are Christians.

And Christians on Free Republic are atheists.

Check.

Boy is that a case of the pot calling the kettle black, lol. But, my Atheist friend, I’m now over on another thread of an article endorsing Trump, so I bid you adieu. You have nothing of value to say anyhow. Get some religion is my advice. Bye.

Those that seek after religion instead of Jesus usually are.

Actually, I find the "collects bibles that people send him" tidbit to be the one talking point about Trump's faith that is most likely true.

Evangelical protestants give away free bibles to people they don't know all the time, trying to save souls by convincing the person to read it, "accept Jesus", and become "born again". Trump is a well known celebrity and in the news a lot, so I wouldn't find it strange that ordinary Americans have sent him 20+ bibles in the mail over the past two decades. (the same is also probably true of people like Stephen Spielberg, Charlie Sheen, etc., etc. ...they probably get folks from the bible belt trying to "save" them by sending them stuff through the mail)

Trump, being the detached doofus he is, wouldn't bother giving away the bibles to someone who would actually use them, so he probably adds them to his vast collection and keeps them on display or in storage in some library he owns, where they collect dust. It reminds me of Clinton's visit with Pope John Paul II when the Pope was trying to discuss serious policy issues and Clinton was admiring all the Vatican artwork and trying to convince the Pope to sell him some for his private collection ("name your price").

The rest of Trump's allegedly "religious" tidbits sound pretty scripted to me, and put out there to appeal to GOP voters. I seriously doubt #1 (Trump will be a forceful advocate against Chrisitan persecution worldwide), #3 (Trump having a sincere change of heart on abortion), and #6 (Trump claims he admires Tony Perkins and Ralph Reed. Most likely he just wants their base of supporters to vote for him).

#2 may be true, but Trump is most likely a "Christmas and Easter" church goer, like a large chunk of the U.S. population. As another freeper noted, if Trump was actually a fervent church-goer, the congregation he attended would likely end up with nearly a billion dollars in offerings coming in annual, thanks to Trump's generous coffers.
