Moderator Frank Luntz asked Trump whether he has ever asked God for forgiveness for his actions.

“I am not sure I have. I just go on and try to do a better job from there. I don’t think so,” he said. “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture. I don’t.”

Trump said that while he hasn’t asked God for forgiveness, he does participate in Holy Communion.

“When I drink my little wine — which is about the only wine I drink — and have my little cracker, I guess that is a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed,” he said. “I think in terms of ‘let’s go on and let’s make it right.’”


“You believe there is one God. You do well. The devils believe and tremble.”

Like I said earlier, he may be a lost sheep, or he may be a goat, but he is not yet a “found sheep”, by his own admission.

He also doesn’t seem to have a clue regarding the foundational teaching of Christianity. There are a LOT of people hedging their bets on church pews that fall into that category. It’s not just Trump. Folks in that camp probably think he’s a Christian, “just like them”. And they are right.

That is your basis for your statement? Nothing like flat out lying is there?

I don’t think anything makes me angrier than someone determining that God is in their own personal little box, that He is restricted by their rules, that no one is a Christian unless they say so, that they know the mind of God and speak for Him.

And Trump gave the only SANE answer to that gotcha question since the next question would have been "for what?"

George W. Bush ran as a "born again Christian" and yet said that we (Christians and Jews) and Muslims all worship the same God.

And don't forget Jimmah, who ran as a born-again Southern Baptist and yet condemned Israel every chance he had.
