Trump to meet with evangelicals to explain how he’ll bring about a more Christian nation
Trump will have another opportunity to wave the Bible and tell everyone how much it’s the best book he ever read, followed by his own.
Click here for reuse options!Trump is going to his first Pastors and Pews meeting to face a gauntlet of questions from evangelical Christians about how he’d bring about a more Christian nation.
It will be a friendly room for the Republican presidential nominee, but there will be high expectations from the 700 conservative pastors and spouses at the private meeting sponsored by the American Renewal Project Thursday in Florida, organizers said.
Trump’s central appeal on the campaign trail to religious conservatives is his promise to repeal the Johnson Amendment, an IRS rule that prohibits churches from using their tax-exempt resources to promote political candidates.
“That’s a good first step,” said David Lane, the American Renewal Project’s founder. “But what about the religious liberty of Christian photographers, Christian bakers, Christian retreat centers, and pastors who believe same-sex intercourse and marriage is sin? These Christians were simply living out their deeply held convictions of their Christian faith when they politely refused to provide services for a same-sex wedding. Doesn’t the First Amendment give us all a right to our beliefs?”Lane added, “Homosexual totalitarianism is out of the closet, the militants are trying herd Christians there.”
…Trump’s personal résumé doesn’t seem tailored for this audience: He’s on his third marriage, doesn’t regularly attend church, has demonstrated a lack of familiarity with Bible passages, said last summer during a question-and-answer session at another Christian forum that he has never asked God for forgiveness, and has changed his stances on abortion issues several times.
But he was given rave reviews for his speech to about 1,000 evangelical conservatives at a closed-door meeting in June in New York organized by United in Purpose. One of his biggest applause lines came when he said “we’re going to be saying ‘Merry Christmas’ again” instead of the secular “happy holidays” greeting, attendees said.

It seems people are happy to give rump all the rope he needs, its not like he will become a sensible adult all the sudden.

And afterwards, all the male pastors will go back to their rooms and masturbate to nude photos of Melania.
ok, lets see if using masturbate instead of “j*rk *ff” passes the filters…
ok…it worked…may end up with a double post…
Mike N. August 9th, 2016 at 13:03
It appears it did!
mea_mark August 9th, 2016 at 13:04
Yeah, ‘j*rk’ is on the banned list.
Mike N. August 9th, 2016 at 13:06
Unfortunately it’s hard to talk about Trump without using the word ‘j*rk’
granpa.usthai August 10th, 2016 at 10:22
there are some REAL
master
baiters
here at LL
don’t see why MASTURBATION wouldn’t be allowed
unless the ‘christian’ moderators has snuck in to squash them.
Larry Schmitt August 9th, 2016 at 13:04
From the guy who has never felt the need to ask for forgiveness. How can any self-respecting Christian take this clown seriously?
Foundryman August 9th, 2016 at 13:28
They are brainwashed, mind numbed cultists, they’ll believe anything.
whatthe46 August 9th, 2016 at 13:48
they don’t care as long as he builds a wall.
Larry Schmitt August 9th, 2016 at 13:56
It appears they will welcome this hypocrite with open arms, even though he shows no signs that he is a believer, as long as they think they can get something from him. Which makes them as much of a hypocrite as he is.
whatthe46 August 9th, 2016 at 14:02
and equally as stoopid if they think for one moment he can do any of the crap he spews. he can’t build no damn wall, he can’t make people say Merry X-mas, he can’t do a damn thing. they don’t question whether or not, just as long as he’s got a hateful soul like them, then he’s in. what kind of person considers themselves “christian” when they support hate? and not just against the LGBT community, but to everyone unlike themselves. if these bastards were thrown on an island, i’d give it a year before they waged war against each other. it’ll become the blonde haired vs. the dark hair. the fat against the skinny. “well now that we have our “christian” nation and we all think alike, who do we shun now?” sorry sack of shite.
Budda August 9th, 2016 at 13:14
This country doesn’t need a more “Christian” nation. Separation of church and state, remember?
Larry Schmitt August 9th, 2016 at 13:19
And if we did, we don’t need him to show us the way.
Foundryman August 9th, 2016 at 13:25
A more christian nation means a christian theocracy. He will do this and anything else he wants in defiance of the Constitution. To me, that makes him and everyone who supports him a traitor.

Looks like trumpee has been reading about Lying Jesus again.
Foundryman August 9th, 2016 at 13:31
If reading that endorsement of Ryan the other day is an example, Trumps reading at a level of a 2nd grader. I doubt he could understand any of the words in the bible.

From Fred Trumps obit;
Although Mr. Trump was stricken with Alzheimer’s disease six years ago, he still retained his title of chairman of the board of Trump Management, a title he held since the company was formed in the mid-1960’s.

Larry Schmitt August 9th, 2016 at 13:36
I guess owning most of the country isn’t enough power for them.
alpacadaddy August 9th, 2016 at 15:00
Well ya’ gotta admit, those RWNJ’s do have a herding mentality!
The Original Just Me August 9th, 2016 at 13:44
Trump could help the Christian movement a lot if he were to go study Religion in Russia for, Oh Say , the next 50 years.
Mike August 9th, 2016 at 13:49
I would have little to no problem living in a Christian nation, the problem arises when we call these hate-filled con artists, Christians
whatthe46 August 9th, 2016 at 13:50
“…their Christian faith when they politely refused to provide services for a same-sex wedding.” no, they “politely” discriminated against them for being gay period.
Bunya August 9th, 2016 at 13:59
Oh boy! This is great! We’ll have a thrice married guy lecturing us on how to be a more Christian nation. I say we hold the “stone the gays” event every Tuesdays, the “kill the infidels” rally on Thursdays, “bash the babes against rocks” event on Saturdays, and still have time to go to church on Sunday.
whatthe46 August 9th, 2016 at 14:05
whose wife was a porn model. not only did he marry thrice, he left his first for his second then his second for a third, he’ll have a new one in just a minute. as soon as he loses this election, she’ll be of no more use to him.
anothertoothpick August 9th, 2016 at 14:16
Imagine how they would sqeal if Hilliary had five kids from three different men.
whatthe46 August 9th, 2016 at 14:19
no joke. it would be ran 24/7 on fox lies and junk radio.
Bunya August 9th, 2016 at 14:42
Plus Trump’s wife is getting older every day. It’s about time he moved onto his next wife, someone who’s a bit younger, maybe about 9-years-old.
Dwendt44 August 9th, 2016 at 20:11
As her looks fade and her boobs sag, he’ll be on the hunt for a newer younger version of a foreign women seeking a green card. (they are pink).
whatthe46 August 9th, 2016 at 21:13
as for the boobs, she can always update those. even if she were to get a facelift, it wouldn’t matter to tRump because, it’s the age of who he’s screwing.
Bunya August 10th, 2016 at 10:45
….assuming that Trump can still get it up.
whatthe46 August 10th, 2016 at 11:28
He’ll order a virgin & use a finger. She won’t know the difference and his finger is bigger.
Sorry
Bunya August 10th, 2016 at 11:59
LOL!
granpa.usthai August 10th, 2016 at 10:18
if we can’t wait for the ‘unruly younguns’ to be bashed, is it OK if we just light into a few with our teeth – just to quell the stomach growls a bit?
Bunya August 10th, 2016 at 10:54
LOL! I’m not sure, but I’m pretty sure the Christian god is into sadism.
anothertoothpick August 9th, 2016 at 14:07
The Cisco Kid rescued more people than any of these so called ” Christians”

Thanks.

They claim to be Christians…They have yet to prove they follow Christ…Voting for Trump proves otherwise…
Red Mann August 9th, 2016 at 15:21
These crazy fools are trying install the same theocratic controls that infects the Islamic world today, with them taking the role of the mullahs. The only practical difference is that Christianity does have a long track record of torture and murder, they have not, outside of a few old time martyrs, been much into suicide.
Want to eliminate gays – check
Want to control women – check
Want to eliminate atheists – check
Want to make blasphemy a crime – check
Want to eliminate all other religions – check
Believe in a destructive and vengeful god – check
Gary Parillo August 9th, 2016 at 18:27
They may even call for reinstating public executions by crucifixion and stoning.Getting stoned would be more fun.
Red Mann August 9th, 2016 at 19:01
Well, right now I’ve got some single malt and dark beer and working on it.
amersham1046 August 9th, 2016 at 19:06
Getting stoned means something totally different in Washington and Colorado and it comes with a side of munchies
amersham1046 August 9th, 2016 at 15:26
One year ago trump didn’t even know what an evangelical was
whatthe46 August 9th, 2016 at 15:29
Laughing
whatthe46 August 9th, 2016 at 15:28
If you have to go around screamin to everyone that you’re a christian, then it not the people you’re trying to convince it’s yourself. So I call all of them on their B.S.
Gary Parillo August 9th, 2016 at 18:21
Even those two corinthian characters cant help him now!
whatthe46 August 9th, 2016 at 19:15
lol
Gary Parillo August 9th, 2016 at 16:34
We already have a nation you rwnj imbecilic simpletons,its called the united states of america,and it is a democracy that even allows fools like yourselves to express your twiisted bigotry and hatred.If you want a theocratic nation,go somewhere else and start one! A christian nation has been tried before,it was called the dark ages,and it was dark because your hearts are dark and your minds are warped!
pinballsdoll August 9th, 2016 at 17:10
Damn liar. The only thing he’ll be doing there is passing out checks
whatthe46 August 9th, 2016 at 19:14
that passing of the checks must be the other way around. tRump does not part with his money.
Roctuna August 9th, 2016 at 19:28
“700 conservative pastors and spouses ” That should read “700 conservative, power-hungry hypocrites”
whatthe46 August 9th, 2016 at 21:17
i wanna see their c.c. statements. you know they hide them from their wives. Ashley.com or MenOnMen.com or NAMBLA.com and lord only knows whatelse.
Dwendt44 August 9th, 2016 at 20:15
Our founding fathers established this country as a secular nation under a secular Constitution. The law of the land expressly states that this country was NOT based on the christian religion . If they manage to get to politicize as they want, they should lose their tax exempt status.
