God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on," the pro-Trump businessman said. "God had been taken out of our schools and lives, a nation had turned its back on God. I encourage you to use this time at home to get back in the word. Read our Bible and spend time with our families."With our great president, vice president and this administration and all the great people in this country praying daily, we will get through this and get back to a place that’s stronger and safer than ever.”


But Rachel is so horrible for suggesting to Trump Stop with the arbitrary deadlines
"I doubt his efforts were what was being mocked"

Agreed.

"his bending of the knee on national television was the reason"

Why? Let's talk about that for a second. Why is that a reason for mockery? For tens of millions of Americans, faith is one of the most important things in their lives, so why do those who don't feel that why, need to mock those who do?

Every speck of data shows that people of faith identify as being happier, being more charitable, get divorced less often, commit less crime. Maybe instead of mocking faith non stop, your side should be asking, why does faith motivate people to do so much good? And why would a major political party be doing everything it can, to turn people away from faith?

"But Rachel is so horrible for suggesting to Trump Stop with the arbitrary deadlines"

No one said that. She is horrible for suggesting nightly, that bigotry is the only reason why anyone can disagree with her on anything.

Is it crazy for the My Pillow guy to feel like Obama attacked faith? Obama tried to force Christian business owners to provide elective abortions to employees, he was successfully sued multiple times for trampling on the religious freedoms of christians. That happened.

I have no issue with people of faith , I do take issue with people some how twisting trumps election as providence and he is Gods chosen one..

And the Michigan angle a bit inappropriate

Calling Trump the chosen one is a stretch all right. BUt from the perspective of the faithful, he was preferable to the alternative.

Not true. My mom is an Evangelical and finds it hard to fathom that a Christian would vote for him. He is the antithesis of a Christian in her view and she voted for Republicans for most of her life. I have many Evangelical friends from home in central PA who feel the same way. There are tens of millions of faithful who find him vile and didn't vote for him. He may pander to a certain sect of faithful but you don't have the authority to give "the perspective of the faithful." Given your recent vile comments in here though I can see why you think that.

your mom is one person. there are tens and tens of millions of evangelicals.

earth to you, evangelicals turned out for him. not for the way he chooses to live, but for the policies he endorses. god almighty, you take a poll of the people you know, and that means that evangelicals didn’t vote for trump? more accurately, they voted for Pence.

No, you said "but from the perspective of the faithful." The ones who voted for him are not "the faithful" they are some of them. You say such garbage in here it is ridiculous.

80% of evangelicals voted for the guy, but somehow it’s wrong if i say they support him. gotcha.

if i said “blacks chose hilary”, would
you disagree?

the left is getting way more secular. that’s their choice. that choice has consequences.

the uber liberal washington post says that 80% of white evangelicals voted for trump. but you can dispute that because of your mom. very scientific.

the left hates christians, christianity, and everything it stands for.
