1. Joe is a man of faith

[Wounded Bear]

2. He can't announce where he going too far in advance for security...

At least his faith is real. Funny how so many "Christians" fawned over Trump, who hardly ever set foot in church.

[bamagal62]

17. Did he ever actually enter

A church? I don’t remember one time that he did it on his own because he wanted to go to church. Funny how all those religious nuts excuse that.

[Wounded Bear]

18. He went to what's his name funeral IIRC...nt

[Dagstead Bumwood]

20. It's a practical decision for him.

He knows if he goes in the holy water will boil and the walls will start to bleed. Best to just stand outside and hold the bible upside down.

[bamagal62]

25. Lol'

[BobTheSubgenius]

32. He claimed, either during the primaries or campaign, that he was a Presbyterian.

In retrospect, I believe he was being a toddler, just parroting a word he had heard. Needless to say, Presbyterian leadership was very happy to hear this, and 3 leading dignitaries made an appt. to meet with him between the election and inauguration.

He made a comment about doing well with "you evangelicals" at the polls, at which point one of the 3 corrected him saying "We aren't evangelicals, we are Presbyterians."

Trump's response?

"But you're Christians, aren't you.?

[LaMouffette]

3. God, please bless and protect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and their families!

And thank you from the bottom of my heart for having Joe and Kamala win in 2020.

The world is breathing a lot easier now!

[Deuxcents]

4. Amen

[mollie8]

21. Amen, Amen

I don't think I've seen an actual prayer on here before, but thank you. You couldn't have said it better. And bless you and everyone here on DU too.

30. Thanks

Thanks for the info. I hadn't realized that.

[littlemissmartypants]

37. You're welcome.

You can also see the behind the scenes parts of the interview, for that download the CBS news app.

❤

[LaMouffette]

34. Thanks for the links, miss pants! I didn't know that part of DU existed, either, although now that

you mention it, I do see "Religion & Spirituality" in the left-hand menu. Will need to check it out.

And bless all y'all on DU! You have all helped me make it through the last four years.

[littlemissmartypants]

36. ❤ nt

[LaMouffette]

33. Thanks for your response post, mollie8!

I felt a bit sheepish after I posted because I didn't want to offend DU members of other faiths or atheists, but my post was most definitely heartfelt!

6. Cute little Holy Trinity in Georgetown

8. My daughters attended school @ that 'cute little' LIBERAL place!

[soothsayer]

9. Ha! My godson too

[elleng]

10. ;-)

[Kingofalldems]

35. Nice church.

Had a couple friends there.

[dsc]

11. It has been ages since I went with my grandmother

but when we went on Saturday night I could swear it wasn't called Sunday mass but again I was young and it was long ago and she would only visit on rare occasion. Guess I can file it under now I know.

[Cha]

7. Exactly.. TY Rt

[CurtEastPoint]

12. Did we EVER seen Dump inside a church?

[ShazzieB]

13. When he was there for some official function that required he be there!

Although he was, of course, happy to wave a Bible around for a photo op (and I would bet money he couldn't tell one book of the Bible from another if his life depended on it).

[bamagal62]

22. No

[Throckmorton]

23. I saw him rubbing the Saudi orb once,

That was kinda churchy, I guess.

[onetexan]

38. That orby touching was actuslly a summoning of evil by

A buncha warlocks

[BlueNProud]

14. Predecessor will be attending a midnight

golden shower.

[Master_Monstruwacan]

19. In a Catholic mass, they expect you to believe

that the "consecrated" bread and wine are the real body and blood of Jeezus Christ. Which is more bizarre? And I would never defend Trump.

[Blue_true]

24. Well, it least a person knows that it is bread and wine. Who knows what's in a golden shower

other than the person giving it?

[Walleye]

15. Humility

[Blue_true]

27. Yes. Very beautiful to see. nt

[Master_Monstruwacan]

16. I hope I live to see the day

when this is not even a consideration for a person aspiring to elected office in this country.

[Blue_true]

26. A whole person believes in something larger than themselves.

I have no issue with people of religious faith expressing their faith, as long as they don’t try to reduce those that don’t believe as they do.

I am not religious, after giving up Christianity as an adolescent. But when I think about the world around me, I always come back to a conclusion that my life has a purpose that I am unaware of and every decision that I make is from ones that have been pre-planned for me. So I am a Deist, my Church is nature around me and in that church lays my fate, a fate that no decision that I make can change.

Call that flaky if you want, I am very rational minded and have thought this through quite a bit.

29. Thanks, soothsayer. ❤ nt

31. Did Biden use tear gas on the crowd so he can stand in front of the church holding a Bible?

Did Biden use tear gas on the crowd so he can stand in front of the church holding a Bible?

Should we follow Trump's example?

[onetexan]

39. No because being a real man of faith doesn't really count with the RW lot,

Only corrupt, unscrupilous fake Christians.
