Everything else he says is fabricated, so why not this too?

āChurch Trump Claims To Attend Says Heās Not An Active Member.ā
They should thank their G-d to be clear of him:
āWhen Nazareth sends its people, theyāre not sending their best. Jesus was a terrible negotiator! I couldāve gotten that cup to pass! I like saviors that werenāt crucified, OK? And the Pope ā youāre fired!ā

This is SO unfair. Look, he KNOWS the place - he remembers the name, his limo driverās familiar enough with it that he could take Trump there, and Trumpsā BEEN there - even the folks who run the business there REMEMBER him being there. And why not, really?
Compared to every other church, denomination, franchise, whatever the hell you call it, Trump is BRANDED at that particular one. Did you happen to listen to what that man said? He said - and this is just as valuable as a direct quote - Trump actually PATRONIZES this one. And that makes him a church patron, am I right? Thatās what the word means: heās been there, heās spent time there, heās given them his patronage, which is money OR even more valuable than money: Trumpās chosen to lend his name to this particular enterprise. And that means something - thereās real meaning there.
And by the way: have YOU actually read the Bible? Right thru? Have you? Itās a long book, and thereās a lot things in there. Now Iām gonna ask YOU a question: if you go and pick out a few nuggets from a gold mine, does that represent the entire value of that asset? Does it, really? No, of course it doesnāt. Itād be sillly to try and reduce something that big, that fabulous, to a few catch phrases. Itās a silly question, and insulting.

My ex-wife was a minister at one of the other Collegiate churches in the early 90ās, and it was mentioned he was a member, probably the biggest name in them. But with his only on holidays admission, that would not make him an āactiveā member, plus how long has it been since he went or wrote a check, that works too.
BTW - RCA is the Dutch flavor of Presbyterian, basically the same thing, they share ministers ant seminaries all over. They have a buttload of churches in Iowa, so his not using that shows how familiar he is with his church.

Its better to be a liar and a cheat and fraud and pay lip service to being a Christian, even a lapsed Christian, than to be an atheist. Heāll come out as some flavor of āvery spiritualā and it will be enough. Iām in my mid-forties and I will never see an Atheist in high office.
Related, my teabaggin inlaws who LOATHED Trump a few weeks ago and threatened to not vote at all this cycle if he is the nominee, are now starting to come around. They still donāt like HIM, but they find that they agree with most of his policies. Shocker, right? They agree with all one of them.
Sheesh!

The right wing claim to be Christian, but theyāre empirically not. As long as youāre a member of the tribe in good-standing, all will be forgiven. Adultery, drug use, multiple divorces, racism? No problem! I guarantee this little foible of Trump not going to church will not be an issue for the base. It only matters if youāre a Democrat or non-white.

Exactly.
Claiming to be a follower of the Jesus is a perpetually renewable get out of jail card.

His answer to āOld or New Testamentā ā āUh, probablyā¦equalā ā is so ridiculous. His knowledge of the Bible is restricted to watching movies, and not even the good ones with Mr. ācold, dead handsā, but the new crap like the one with Batman.
Unfortunately true. For POTUS, the barriers will fall something like this:
not white- woman
- gay
- all three
ā¦ - Muslim
ā¦ - atheist

My fave:
Heās already come out in favor of Jesus crackers
āWhen I drink my little wine ā which is about the only wine I drink ā 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,ā he said. āI think in terms of āletās go on and letās make it right.'ā

Trump is his own religion, and every building he erects is a shrine to him.

He owns 30% of the Bank of America building in San Francisco, considered to be a nice work of architecture as these things go, and I fear heāll try to cover it with T R U M P in gold letters.
