Discussion: Evangelical Leader Backpedals On Story Of Trump’s Recent Conversion

Dobson, you are now and always have been an opportunistic born again sack of shit, using religion to dupe the under educated and malleable believers in this crap for your own benefit.

Obviously you suddenly came to your senses and realized that combining religious beliefs with Donald “the draft dodging coward” Trump is a no win situation.

“White is a Florida-based prosperity preacher…”
Just like Jesus.

I was thinking that Trump said that he accepted a relationship with crass. For a Southerner that could sound like “Christ.” Quite understandable.

Your insight does you credit.

I particularly like Jill Lepore’s writing, and today’s story about the the Stevens’ family was worth the price of my subscription.

Dobson’s pronouncements and speculations are politically motivated, not religiously based at all. His chatter could be characterized as “Taliban-like talk.”

I have never been disappointed in any of their writing (even where I don’t always agree).

And I really, really enjoy the Comma Queen, 'cause I am a grammar nerd (plus I am always explaining English punctuation and fine points such as “that” vs “which” to my German colleagues – sometimes I just send 'em a link to her!)

Film reviews, book reviews, cartoons, some of which I’ve been know to post here, and it’s where investigative reporting still lives.

@fargo116 If trump and Melanjia were to come to the same end as Benito and Clara, we’d finally see her Victoria’s Secrets.

I love this comment. Thanks.

What if that family was not Xtian, or religious at all?

Bull$#!t is all you ever get from “Religious Leaders”! They sell smoke so hard even they begin to believe it!

I would believe that James Dobson is a gay atheist sooner than I would believe that Trump is an evangelical Christian.

“Only the Lord knows the condition of a person’s heart.”

Can He know what it is even after you’ve sold it?

Or is that the soul?

I don’t care what the doubters say, when I look at Donald Trump and see those cute, tiny little hands, I see a baby Christian. Plain as a pig in an oxen mule run.

You know it would be great if Donald Trump could have just said, “No, I don’t go to church and I’m not religious. Is there a god? I don’t know. But what does it matter?”

But instead Ted Cruz, Mike Huckabee and the rest all drove him to the religious right because he needs them to get out the vote, and it was unclear if he would even get out of the primaries.

I wouldn’t give a shit if Trump didn’t believe in God, and neither should anyone else. What I care about is the fact that he’s clearly full of shit and is just pandering to the religious zealots to get votes.

If anything Sec. Clinton’s religiosity is more troubling to me (I bet I’ve heard her say “God given potential” at least 100 times already). But the difference is that I trust that she wouldn’t let her religion interfere with her work or let religious zealots affect her decision making.

Wait, Dobson lied? Is anyone really shocked by this?

Trump is an evangelical Christian about the same way Benito Mussolini was a guidance counselor.

Okay, I don’t know what that means, either but it’s weirdly funny in some way.
