Like many mainstream Protestants, he doesn’t go into detail about what he believes. First of all, he says he believes in God and the Bible. I’m not electing a pastor of a church - if I was then I’d want to know all these Biblical positions. Other than the current president, and possibly BJ Clinton - most presidents have readily admitted that they had no where to turn except God and prayer once the pressures of the office overwhelmed them. I’m going to trust that he believes in God and the Bible - and I also noticed how much he cherishes the Bible given him by his mother. There is no religious litmus test to be a president - and that is spelled out in the Constitution.

That sounds like you desire to be willfully ignorant of the ethical foundations for the man running for the office with the most influence over national ethics. They call it the bully pulpit for a reason.

But where the Constitution does not have a religious test, I do as do many other voters, like the ones he is was speaking to. Trump said he believes in the Bible, I want to know what he means by that. I do not want to be duped by another fraudulant pretender.

I wish we were electing a pastor of a church where the pastor and the church are truly anointed by the Holy Spirit of God.
