Trump Does Not Pray
I am watching the National Prayer Service and note that Trump never bows his head nor does he close his eyes during a prayer. When a response is called for, he does not read the congregational response that is printed in the service program. He did not sing much suring the service.
Very disrespectful and inappropriate for someone who claims to be such a avowed Christian!

1. The Evangelicals can't recognize when a False Prophet and/or Antichrist is amongst them.

2. He thinks he's God. So why should he pray to himself?

3. Most politicians just pretend,
to get the religious nuts to vote for them.

4. Yes, he is a total fraud
and anyone with eyes knew that when he was appealing to the evangelical community during the campaign. He reads the bible, yeah right.

6. If you watch closeups of the SWEARING ceremony
his lack of personal integrity and honor is baldly evidenced.
Comrade Casino is now the fully empowered Republican 'family values' role model for generations to come. |

7. Of course not. How can he pray to god when he thinks he is god.
He is such a phony.

8. That's what I do...
But I'm an ex-Catholic and now an atheist. I can't be bowing my head or closing my eyes all the time. I still do it occasionally when it is a personal prayer for someone at a wedding or a funeral.
Trump is no Christian. I at least keep some of the values of the faith, but I see nothing of that in Trump. |

12. If this doesn't prove what an utter farce this national prayer service is, nothing will.
It's a complete pretense.

13. The religious beliefs of politicians are irrelevant.
I happen to be a Christian.
I believe Barack Obama is a Christian as well. Not because he says so - they all say so - but because lots of the things he has said reflect the same sort of nuanced thinking that I engage in to reconcile my faith with the scientific realities of the observable world. I think I've caught a glimpse of him wrestling with the same sort of contradictions and mysteries that I wrestle with. I also believe Hillary Clinton is a Christian. Not because she says so, but because she has been quietly consistent about her Methodist faith throughout the years. She strikes me as someone who believes faith is a personal matter, and not to be used for self-glorification. I doubt that Donald Trump has given much thought to the issue of religion. He probably has a superficial belief in "God". He probably thinks "God" loves and blesses those who are smart enough to work and fight for the things that they want. "Jesus" is the Son of God, so, therefore, important as well. But I doubt Donald Trump would have much use for some Rabbi who told him to sell all he owned and give the proceeds to the poor. |

14. That pig defiles any church he walks into.
I'm surprised the place wasn't hit by a lightning bolt.

15. Good for him not engaging in such self-aggrandizing behavior.
Religion is bullshit that isn't worthy of respect.
