(69,548 posts)51. how about this interview:
https://www.democracynow.org/2016/8/10/donald_doesnt_know_anything_author_david
part of interview;
DAVID CAY JOHNSTON: I did not appreciate, until I worked on the book, that while Donald holds himself out as a devout Christian"No one reads the Bible more than me"while he has all these pastors embracing him as a good Christian man, Donald aggressively, thoroughly and at great length, in many forums, denounces Christianity. His personal motto is "always get revenge," whereas the message of Jesus Christ was "turn the other cheek." And these ministers, some of whom Ive written to and haventthey havent responded at allcontinue to embrace him. And I find it very troubling. Donald has beguiled them with flattery. If they continue, now that my book is out, if they know about it, to do this, they are then deceiving their flocks, and thats evil. But Donald himself doesnt care about these things. He will tell you any lie. He cant quote a single line from the Bible. Not one. And yet he says, "No one reads the Bible more than Donald Trump." If you ask him, "Well, what do you like in the Bible?" "Oh, theres so many. Theres so many. I justthere are so many, I cant choose."
