[quote=Anonymous]This thread makes me think of Dave Chappelle on SNL recently (stay with me here). He was talking about Jimmy Carter and how he didn't know if Carter was a good president or not, but he saw Carter go into the West Bank without security and after they'd told him they couldn't guarantee his safety because he thought it was important to highlight displaced people and the impact of the conflict on them, so he knew he was a good man.

And I think this is true. I am a lapsed Catholic but was raised with the idea that you showed devotion to Christ through your acts and good deeds, not through just saying you believed. I don't go to church but I try to live morally and treat others with kindness and love. At the end of the day, I think that's what matters.

Trump, unlike someone like Jimmy Carter who was truly good man, has no interest in living a moral life or showing kindness and love towards his fellow man.

I think he wants to use religion as a political tool to consolidate power. I think he knows that by saying he cares about Christians and Christianity, he thinks he can get a lot of Christians to vote for him and support him. I don't think he actually cares at all about anyone but himself and perhaps his immediate family. [/quote]
