McUnited's clearly a wum Ignore him
I'm simply responding to your question on why would religion matter for someone running a nation, a nation filled with people following several religions!It clearly matters to them but it's a bizarre concept nevertheless: religion should not dictate the running of a state, and people who claim they want their state to be one of freedom and liberty are talking out their arse if they believe it should actually be run on the basis of their religion.
The notion of Trump being a Christian in any way, though, is quite hilarious.

This comes up every election.
I don't mean to be condescending and I'm not Christian but from what little I know about Christianity isn't it a peaceful relegion? Turn the other cheek and what not, do you see Trump having those values? Didn't he say he is going to bomb the shite out of Syria?You won't. Your point is?
Thank you for the more considered response than the hordes of keyboard warriors here. An interesting question, yes, and I feel he'd do more to protect the rights of e.g. Christian businesses.
I love you for the fact we have another Trump fan to mock now since Americano left
But they're quite happy for the religious freedom of others to be stamped on.I'm simply responding to your question on why would religion matter for someone running a nation, a nation filled with people following several religions!
If I was a person of faith it would absolutely be important for me to know whether the person I'm going to elect would respect my religion, allow me to freely practice it, not enforce any prohibitions on religious grounds against me and so on. The views of a presidential candidate on religion when running a secular nation are absolutely important, without question, for a tremendous amount of it's citizens.
But you want him to be POTUS over Hillary, at least in part due to considering her a liar.
I don't condone Trump's history. Why would you presume I do?
I read that the results of swing states like Florida, Virginia, Ohio and NC will be announced between 12am and 1am GMT. Also that Trump basically needs to win in almost all of them to stand a chance.
Should NC and FL be called for Clinton, the election is over then already.

The politically engaged Christians in America tend to either be old testament nutcases or money grabbing charlatans. Often both.I don't mean to be condescending and I'm not Christian but from what little I know about Christianity isn't it a peaceful relegion?

There are a few things you don't do in life. Being chummy with Glaston one of them
I don't suppose he has to be in order to protect christian values. It's all about his policies and not what he does.
Make a list....You won't. Your point is?
Again with fact checking becoming something you can do very quickly over the internet now, doesn't Trump lie even more than Hillary?That doesn't mean I like him.
Like I wrote, I'm not talking about anyone in particular, rather the notion of why religious views are an important part for running a secular nation, something that Cheesy seemed to be oblivious towards.But they're quite happy for the religious freedom of others to be stamped on.
It does undermine your position though.That doesn't mean I like him.
Do you mean that video of Harry Kane smashing a football against a life-size Trump cardboard cutout?@GlastonSpur hurry up and do that thing you do.
Because you want to elevate those values and characteristics as the best your country has to offer and the ones you want representing you to other countries.

She lies about just under a quarter of time, standard political record. Trump's at 3/4 of the time, which is impressive in it's own way.Again with fact checking becoming something you can do very quickly over the internet now, doesn't Trump lie even more than Hillary?
Make a list....
Actions Trump has taken to protect a Christian value:
Actions Trump has taken that break Christian values:
Knock yourself out
One offers better though. It's not an a b or other (please specify). You have to compare them and there's no competitionThey both have chequered pasts. Neither offers the best.
Yep I'm seeing this too. Good news!It seems lots of different sources predicting Clinton 323...
False equivalence. Something that has been flung around far too much this cycle.They both have chequered pasts. Neither offers the best.
What a crazy election.. Evangelicals voting for a thrice married misogynist over a practicing lifelong methodist
