Hallelujah! Dr. James Dobson says Donald Trump has accepted Christ, is a "baby Christian"

[cali]

Donald Trump, according to a new report, has accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior.

No, you didn't accidentally click on The Onion. That's a factual statement, according to a well-respected evangelical faith leader.

Dr. James Dobson, who was among the more than 900 evangelical faith leaders who met with the Republican presidential nominee-in-waiting in New York City, says it happened fairly recently. He also said he knew who led the businessman to Christ.

"I don't know when it was, but it has not been long," Dobson told Godfactor's Michael Anthony in an exclusive interview. "I believe he really made a commitment, but he's a baby Christian. We all need to be praying for him, especially if there's a possibility of him being our next chief executive officer."

1. The two Corinthians I know....

are still laughing their asses off!!!

[dgibby]

28. DUzy!

[MH1]

2. LOL can they be any more transparent?

I have to ask some Dobson-followers I know, whether they believe this and will now support Trump. They didn't like him previously, but who knows, maybe this transparent ploy will work. People who follow Dobson haven't seen through THAT sham yet.

4. Evangelicals are notorious gullible dupes. Think of all the slimeball

TV preachers who have lined their pockets from them.

[Cryptoad]

21. He must have

found a way to get the camel thru the eye of the needle!

[redwitch]

3. Jesus wept. nt

[Initech]

61. Somewhere Jesus is wearing an "I'm *NOT* With Stupid" t-shirt.

[redwitch]

64. I was thinking of making "We're with Stupid" yard signs.

To add to the front lawns of people sporting Trump signs.

[Archae]

5. "Well-respected?"

By who??!!??

The fundys, of course.

Dobson is a hate-spreading jerk, who beat his dog into submission.

12. Respect?

Yes, let's give him as much respect as Dobson and other religious fools have given President Obama all these years. Someone should tell these Christians that tRump is not nearly as wealthy as he claims. No $$$, no supprt from the holier than thou crowd.

[Zorro]

23. That's his schtick

Dobson's not a spare the rod type of guy; it's one of the things that motivates his "ministry" -- corporal punishment to maintain discipline. He's built his empire around it.

He focused on this Old Testament method while on the staff at USC (he's a psychology PhD) and witnessed campus protests against the Viet Nam War. All those young'uns weren't spanked when growing up, and that's what led to their disrespect for authority.

[tanyev]

6. It is the height of cognitive dissonance how the right wing views Reagan and GWB

as God's chosen ones when they rarely ever graced the doors of a church with their presence during their White House years. On the other hand, I believe the Carters and the Clintons remained very active in their respective churches even while they were in the White House.

[charin]

14. I've long asked...

...in what way(s) are Dick Cheney's actions like Jesus' teachings?

[spanone]

7. politically expedient

[Javaman]

8. two grifters grifting...

both selling their own brands of bullshit.

[Jerry442]

9. Writing for The Onion these days must be the worst job in the world.

Constantly struggling to write satire that's more absurd than actual reality.

[JHB]

10. Con Man Dob endorses Con Man Don

[mountain grammy]

11. Yes, I would believe Trump accepted the faith of Dobson..

faithful to paranoia, prejudice, and greed, praise the lord and pass the ammo for my AR15.

[merrily]

13. Uh huh.

16. The Evangelical gang

is hoping the Donald will shower them with manna from the federal treasury like GW Bush did as payback for their campaign support.

[moosewhisperer]

17. baby Christian

with baby hands

[PJMcK]

51. What the hell is a "baby Christian?" (n/t)

[uponit7771]

18. The voted in plurality for him before this announcement so it doesn't matter, they could care

... less who they vote for as long as its a reThug no matter how much of a horrible character he is.

tRump is loathesome, baby Christian and baby mentality

[eShirl]

19. especially his hands

baby size

[Cryptoad]

20. When Trump,,,

gives all his wealth to the Poor without self recognition, i'll believe that line of bull shit

[PJMcK]

52. At least Mr. Trump should release his tax returns

Then we'll know exactly how generous he is to the poor and the needy.

[rurallib]

22. It's A Miracle I tells Ya

Donny gets religion just a the very moment he needs the religious to back him.
Jesus does work in mysterious ways his wonders to perform!

See - Donny was out there adrift and available to any supreme being. Did Thor grab him? Zeus? Mithras? Krishna? no, no, no and no. Just Jesus! think what a coup it would have been for Allah to get the Donald, but Jesus won!

It's a miracle I tells ya!

[Feeling the Bern]

24. This the same James Dobson that said adult men should shower with their teenage sons

to show them who the man is?

That James Dobson? Fuck him and fuck Freaks of the Family.

[rpannier]

25. Baby Christian

I missed that part in the Bible.
Though, given the bullying and tantrums by Il Douche, 'Baby' isn't that much of a stretch. Christian... that is

[PJMcK]

54. Actually, I don't believe you'll find the word "Christian" in the Bible (n/t)

[rpannier]

56. Poorly written on my part

Christian... that is
was a reference to it being a bit of a stretch
Trump isn't much of Christian (if you use being Christ-like as your definition. Torquemada as your definition of Christian then he's close)

[PJMcK]

60. Our points are the same, rpannier

We're on the same side here as I was riffing on your "Baby Christian" comment. I think we can agree that Donald Trump has conveniently found religion at an opportune time. It's interesting to me that Mr. Trump has attended church for decades but is only now finding Jesus. And he's claimed that the Bible is the only book ever written that is greater than his own book, "The Art of the Deal."

I'm always struck by how many "Christians" really don't know anything about the Bible but they'll swear that it's the inerrant word of god. The point of my response to your post was that most Evangelical Christians today have such a skewed understanding of the Bible, especially the New Testament, that it's contemporary interpretation would be incomprehensible to the original authors. At the end of Jesus' life, there were no "Christians" per se and it would be centuries before the church would begin to organize. It would be later still that the writings that became the Bible would be edited and organized.

I've heard various leaders and politicians quote the Bible out of context which often changes the meaning of the passage, often reversing the point being made. That technique will work well for Donald Trump. (sarcasm)

[YOHABLO]

26. He'd turn the White House into the playboy mansion after painting TRUMP on it.

[dgibby]

27. What a crock!

If, as Trump has long stated, he truly is a Presbyterian, then this is a total lie.Speaking as a lifelong Presbyterian, it is impossible to be a member of the church without a public profession of faith and belief in Christ as the Son of God. Having said that, I can't imagine why he hasn't been excommunicated, but that's another story.

[heaven05]

29. oh please spare me

the religious bullshit about a clown who would get on his knees to fool trumpchumps and get his way. Such religious bullshit. Go ahead christians, vote for this fool. Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[czarjak]

30. He's been a self-proclaimed...

"Great Christian" for a while, Jamie.

[vkkv]

31. Excellent!! Now Trump can run Third Party as the 'BABY-CHRISTIAN-NAZI PARTY'!!! nt

[Frustratedlady]

32. They done cleaned him up goooood! Did that include baptism in the horse watering tank?

The Donald could have used a good soaking. He's certainly soaked his share of people. Dobson should feel right at home around Donald, the Liar. He's also lined his pockets with money from the masses.

What does Donald have to do to step up from Baby Christian? How long does it take to graduate?

[no_hypocrisy]

33. I never considered Shrub to be a committed Christian as it was a substitute for drinking; however,

I would give him more credit for his faith than Trump any day of the week.

[CanonRay]

34. James Dobson proves, once again. that he is an idiot.

[Purrfessor]

35. I refuse to believe it until I see Trump's original baptismal certificate, the long form...

not the short form.

[Justice]

40. I love this!

[Moostache]

36. Birds of a feather con together...

The two most dishonest things in the world?
A Trump statement and a Dobson endorsement.

People like Dobson are one of the reasons I loathe Christians of every stripe...to share ANY beliefs with such a huge piece of human shit is a disqualifier in my eyes...

[Bernardo de La Paz]

37. Himself

[meow2u3]

38. Well, Dobson is half right

Trump is a baby (in an old fart's body). A Christian, not so much.

[Zambero]

41. Recalling Jimmy Swaggart

Contrite and repentant, not once but twice. Still raking in bucks from fools, and proof positive that televangelists do more than lay people.

[Android3.14]

42. He is the Cheeto Jesus

The redneck's Antichrist here to start the trailer park Armageddon.

[cali]

45. And they genuflect to their Cheeto Jesus.

[Initech]

58. And armed with a copy of Two Corinthians.

[Blue Owl]

43. Well how CONvenient...

[Warren DeMontague]

44. That explains the small hands

[Dirty Socialist]

46. Isn't That Special!

Somebody give The Donald a wafer!

[3catwoman3]

47. "...he's a baby Christian."

The hell he is.

[struggle4progress]

48. Jesus Christ

[sofa king]

49. Meaning Dobson has recently accepted Trump's money.

[cali]

53. or the other way around.

[sofa king]

67. Or maybe they both gave each other money...

... and "wrote it off."

[malaise]

50. Snake oil salesmen

flock together to fugg everyone else

[tanyev]

55. LOL! Who's conning whom?

Does Dobson actually believe that, or has he decided to join the scam?

[xfundy]

57. Dobson is a child psychologist. That's a fact.

He's not a preacher, but wants everyone to think he is.

He's trying to gain power for himself, yet again.

[Initech]

59. Well he's the best Christian, don't you know?

He reads the best Bible, he quotes the best verses in Two Corinthians, he worships the best God, and he's going to recruit the best Christians for God's army. It's gonna be huge!

[RussBLib]

62. so you can still be a total dick and be a Christian

got it.

[Tsiyu]

63. Most of the Christians I know don't have much in the way

of an intellectual or analytical mindset, bless their little hearts.

Cretins like Dobson feed off of the dear Christian's ignorance and the Christian's abject terror over criticizing anyone who mutters the word "Jesus."

Our Christian governor, for example, is worth 3 billion dollars. yet nary a Christian in this state asks themselves why Bill Haslam doesn't want poor people to earn a living wage, have access to health care or have any teeth left in their faces.

But he's a GOOD CHRISSCHUNN!

I feel sorry for Christians until I remember that they vote to let us all get fucked in the ass over and over and over (as much as they claim to hate sodomy) because they will elect the most corrupt, greedy, evil fuckers in the states as long as those evil fuckers say the magic word:

JESUS.


You don't really have to believe in the guy, live the way the bible advises or even be a decent person in any way, as long as you say Jesus the allotted number of times in your campaign ad.

Yeah, so Dobson's the clever one because he fucking knows how gullible and naive the Christian truly is. It's sad, but also infuriating.

[enid602]

65. xtian

Does this mean that Donald's newly found Christianity will compel him to compensate all the people he's screwed over the years?

[Ilsa]

66. it wasn't that long ago that trump said he'd never asked God

for forgiveness of his sins. I doubt he had time to be humble enough before the Lord to do that during the campaign.

IOW, I suspect Dobson is lying through his teeth.

[roamer65]

68. Jesus doesn't support water boarding.

You cannot call yourself a Christian and support torture. If you support torture, you are not a follower of Christ. Simple as that.
