But what Trump did not do is pander to the Christians. he didn't claim to be one. In fact, he basically admitted he wasn't. And he didn't do the typical leftist "religion is stupid" schtick.

So are you claiming there is something wrong with this? If so, do you think there was something wrong for the record percentage of black people that voted for Obama?

Yes, he did claim to be Christian and yes he is pandering to them. Hard.

Indeed. Even the best of Christs followers would have to ask God for forgiveness for his or her sins occassionally, and most of us often! That requires humility though, and thats a hard pill for a megalomaniac.
This is the man marginal Christians are flocking to; An authoritarian who trashed all things faith-related at the GOP convention, in order to court Socialists, speaks of himself in third person, like some third world despot, and who obviously uses religion as a hook, and not a lifestyle.
This election gets more and more depressing, each day. Maybe some of those money-unto-me preachers who support this clown could explain the difference between religion and relationship to the guy, while they're waiting for their checks to clear.

How can one be a Christian, when one believes oneself to be a god?
Even when one has put right the wrongs one has done, it is necessary to ask for Gods forgiveness and grace. Even if one is not in the business of attonement in the Roman sense of it, one must recognise ones error and seek forgiveness for it.
