The supposedly devout Christian President, interviewed on Bloomberg Politics, for some reason declines to name even one of his favourite Bible verses when politely asked to do so, while insisting how "incredible" and "special" the holy book is to him

I remember seeing an interview with him the interviewer asked
"Have you read XYZ by AUTHOR?"
Trump: "No, but I love his work"
"What's your favorite book of AUTHOR's"
Trump: "His latest, was great"
"His latest was XYZ. so you have read it?"

It really is. What person in their right mind would get up on stage in front of nearly 100 million people, as Trump did at the debates with Hillary, after clearly doing almost no prep, and act the way he did? Talk about his dick size, whine about not winning an Emmy, "No puppet, no puppet, no you're the puppet, no you're the puppet!"
But because he says a bunch of BS super confidently, rubes thought he actually did well! It's amazing.

I am not convinced of his self confidence. Look at his lies about his inauguration, for example - claiming that more people showed up than actually did and that it didn't rain because God "was looking down on us". As someone with major self esteem issues, that screams insecurity to me. Like he's trying desperately to feel more important than he is.

I see what you mean but I don't think you can really call him confident. He is clearly a very insecure person and he goes into a rage when people laugh at him.
I think he's just so stupid that he doesn't know what people think of him. Even when he sees it he convinces himself that it's just a few people because his delicate ego can't handle it.

Is it really confidence though, when it stems from a personality disorder like narcissism? It's a blindness. It's a lack of self-awareness. He's an incredibly stupid man, and most of the world knows that. It's only a "superpower" in that it's a cloak he's wearing to make other stupid people think he's a strong, smart, powerful and capable person.
It's almost like saying I wish my pain receptors didn't work so I could do all kinds of things that my body can't feel, but it's damaging me at the same time.

I think there's a difference between not caring what people think of you and not caring about the impression you leave people with. The former is true for most people though Trump is pretty much an overly sensitive jackass. The latter on the other hand is textbook narcissism. He doesn't care that what he says changes people's impression of him because he's completely deluded but when that narrative is challenged and someone speaks against him or does something he doesn't mentally accept, he reverts to being a child

So true and so perfectly stated:
It's extra magnified now, as President, because he knows he has the backing of his propagandists both in RW media and his administration. Kellyanne Conway et al will duly deflect from absolutely anything he says, no matter how insane.

I guess if you are incapable of feeling shame it's easy to just assume you're right all the time. It's incredible, and apparently many people will love you for it.
It's like when a fight breaks out in high school and everyone forms a huge circle around them; even if one fighter is 100% in the right or just defending himself from a bully, the one who talks shit the best and loudest will garner cheers from the crowd. The silent one always loses to them.

He absolutely does care. He just misperceives the world around him, believing he is the most important thing in the world, that he makes no mistakes, and that anyone who tries to say otherwise is an enemy. This is why he becomes aggressively angry whenever anyone stands up to him or challenges him.

Spot on. One thing I've noticed about Trump is that even when he blatantly lies, you see almost no reaction on his face. When most people lie, you'll notice them getting nervous, covering their face, sweating etc. With him, lying is so engrained it's just business as usual.

I always knew he was shameless, but that was the moment where I was 100% sure he had no problem saying whatever he wanted without a care in the world.
He could have prepared with actual intelligent people about what to say, but instead he was being 'sarcastic' during a Presidential brief on a major pandemic (and was talking to journalists).

You know those Americans who think the US is the best shit since sliced bread no contest, who are absolutely unable to consider for one moment that life might be better elsewhere and who vehemently fight, throwing "tu quoque" arguments that defy reality left and right to keep up that belief?
You know those insane conspiracy theories that tell of the whole world being in cahoots against the populace, of world governments, of a new world order and whatnot (most of which are invented in the US, unsurprisingly)?
Those wouldn't exist if there wasn't an assumption that if shit happens in the US then it's happening everywhere else too.
While you may not be buying into those ideas specifically, depicting your country's problems as worldwide problems validates people who do. However, the most harmful thing it does is make people reject their responsibilities and duties as citizens of a nation.

You say "You know we live in a clown world", yet I "know" no such thing. The world isn't a clown world from my point of view. It really is only the USA that has anything remotely that clownish.

It was never implied that I thought that, you completely misread it. For the record, I do not believe that this idiot represents the leadership around the globe. Although I would argue that he is not the only example of a buffoon in the high office of a country at this time.

See, but I think that has been the case his whole life, and he created all these insane coping mechanisms. Like, he probably thinks people hate him because of his success,, or are jealous of his wealth, and thats why they talk down to him.
He has spent his whole adult life, and tons of money, on creating an image for himself. Gold sinks and private planes, etc. He needs all that to think of himself as someone important.
If he had just invested the money his father gave him, he would be 3 times richer than he is now.
Dude compensates, and has been doing it for so long he has actually become a caricature of what he thinks success is.
Of course, the fact that he somehow became President has only inflated his ego, and honestly, I think that would happen to anyone.
I still can't believe this guy got elected.

There's this gag in Community where they talk about how the truth can sometimes be so awful to someone they just block it out. At which point someone says to the dean that he's awful and he sucks at his job. After which the dean says 'well if you're not going to say anything..'.
It's an extreme form of narcissism. Anything that threatens or attacks his sense of self he is able to simply block out. It doesn't even enter his brain that he is being cringy.

There is a very compelling argument that he's functionally illiterate. He can read somewhat, but only basics.
Even in contemporary information, we know that he insists that briefings be one page, bullet points rather than a lot of paragraphs, and use diagrams. We've seen the notes he writes for himself and they're these massive words written in what appears to be a big marker. It would explain why his speeches constantly meander off topic and go back to him just hitting on the same few topics he knows. It would explain why his vocabulary is incredibly small. It would explain why one of the things he's been known to get passionately into is looking through catalogs about interior design.

It's really bizzare how one of the best comedy writers of our generation has just gone off the deep end and it obsessed with talking shit about trans people, I just don't get it. Like he's obviously an intelligent guy.

When I first heard he was supposed to be transphobic, I thought he'd maybe just made an ignorant comment, or something in one of his shows had aged terribly. Was genuinely not prepared for how venomous he is about it.

Unfortunately, my Irish parents of a similar age (slightly older) are of the same mind. They believe in people being gay and they believe in abortion rights but they just donโt think people can feel like theyโre a different gender. So when they think of children being allowed gender reassignment surgery and things like that they feel that itโs horrific and like youโre encouraging such an irreversible surgery in a child who is going through a phase. They just donโt see what they think as being wrong. They think theyโre the good guy.
Only thing is my parents arenโt going around and telling anyone about this (except me so they can figure out what the hell is going on) and Graham Linehan is going on a crusade across the internet.

Most popular TV programme of all time in Ireland. Itโs really funny but if youโre not from the UK/Ireland some of the humour might be lost on you. I would recommend it anyway.
They struck gold with very episode and the lead actor died of a heart attack during production, so the series abruptly finished while it was massively popular.

Oh, I know that one. At a stab...Kings 2:23-24?
Except IIRC it was children throwing rocks at a bald king (not an angel) and the king was like "Yo god, can you do something about this??" and so God in his infinite compassion and wisdom sent a pack of she-bears to maul the faces off the children.
Paraphrased, of course.

He has never read any of it before and is hideously excited; keeps reading quotations aloud... or merely slapping his side & chortling 'God, isn't God a shit!'."

I can give him the benefit of the doubt on the verse but the old vs new should have some sort of preference. I mean it's his favorite book.

Verses implies a direct quote from a book in some version of the Bible. Some Christians may quibble with just referencing a parable instead of quoting verse, but most people would feel that answer addresses the heart of the question.

Not only just stupid, but from what people who have tried to teach or work with him have said, he is literally one of the stupidest people they have dealt with.
And to top if off, he is proudly stupid. He makes no attempt at learning or understanding anything. He seems to actively reject anybody trying to teach him anything--I think he feels that being willing to learn somehow equates to admitting to being "weak" in a strange way.
I've met a few similar people in my life, where if you point something out that they obviously didn't know, they become super defensive and go "Yeah, yeah, I already knew that. I was just testing you." And they claim they're experts at everything but whenever you test their actual knowledge it becomes apparent they don't know.

The most amazing part about this is not that he cannot name a verse, I mean I completely understand that. But knowing so little about the bible that you canโt even choose between the old and the New Testament, that are literally stark opposites? A vengeful versus merciful god? Slaughtering innocent babies because of the actions of a despot versus forgiveness for any sin? I refuse to believe that a single person on earth other than this imbecile would answer โEquallyโ and not feel compelled to expand on that inconsistency immediately.

The part that kills me is that even if you've never read the Bible, there has to be at least a couple Bible verses that managed to sink in. Just a handful that you could rattle off even if they're literally the only ones you know. John 3:16 or one of the commandments, something.
This is like when Sarah Palin couldn't name any newspapers only even more pathetic.

There is a book (2016) called The Haters, that plays on the band name meme. They go thru a lot of 'that's my band's new name" versions before setting on The Haters. If you are into jazz, and going on "tour", it's a pretty decent comedic read.

Just to be fair, itโs not something you have to read from the beginning, and thereโs a huge difference between the Old Testament and the New.
Thereโs some very valuable stories and important lessons in the New Testament.
Iโd certainly never say anyone has to read them to be a good person or anything of the sort, but itโs still worth checking out โ and it would almost certainly seem less โstrange.โ

I dunno, if you really believe it's the word of God passed down through the ages, it feels like the least you would do is read every word of it. "Yeah, God the almighty creator of everything had this book written, but... it was just so long, y'know? It would've taken weeks to read, ain't nobody got time to spend weeks reading everything God had written down. So I just sorta skimmed it, pretty sure I got all the good bits."

KingInTheSouthTX ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 11:55:49 on June 3, 2020 ยท (Permalink)
I think you misunderstand the Bible, people who read the Bible, and the intent of thousands of years of cultural development.
So the Book of Genesis, composed around 3400 years ago, is strange to you as a modern reader? Shocking. Indeed though, the apocrypha has some of the most โout thereโ stories in a relative sense.
โBadly writtenโ? Itโs not a Stephen King novel, man. Half was compiled from primarily oral beliefs thousands of years BCE, the other half was essentially lector/sermon material. It was also translated from ancient material with plenty of debate. Itโs not for cover to cover reading.
People who believe the โHistorical basis and accuracyโ of the Bible do not do so because of the clear evidence and factual information the Bible contains, but they do so because of pure belief/faith. Personally, I believe people who say that are misunderstanding what the original texts were intended for. It was not for recording some kind of history or crap like that, they were written to emphasize or teach a new set of beliefs. Itโs with near certainty that the people who actually developed the early Old Testament writings KNEW it was not real. Half of the Pentateuch material copies old Sumerian stories.
Being religious is not a prerequisite for understanding the Bible and itโs history (the Bibleโs history, not the information contained inside). Iโm not a very religious person by any means, but I think the Bible is fascinating.
Cersad ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 13:10:48 on June 3, 2020 ยท (Permalink)
Genesis reads strange because it's a translation of Hebrew poetry in some chapters and an oral tradition regardless. Placed in the historical context of its wiring, it's fairly interesting in my opinion. I've heard arguments that it was essentially a rebuttal against other myths for the origins of the world from more dominant cultures in Mesopotamia.

That was the cringe to me. The fact that he didn't want to recite a verse was fine because I already knew he wouldn't have a clue and it's hard to be too cringy when you see it coming. However, I didn't expect this question and it was a cringy answer that I loved.

It's such a great question. If he said the old testament, it would have given credence to him being guided by some of the more 'unsavory' aspects of the book that prop up slavery, murder, etc. If he said the new testament, it would directly contradict his actions as being contrary to the teaching of Christ... a pretty tricky question to answer IMO.

I mean to be fair its a smarter answer than saying a specific one and here is why. Since Trump has clearly never read the bible he doesnt want to pick the wrong favorite on video, and taking the 50/50 to choose one that a supporter might not agree with would be bad for him. Sounding stupid is not really something they care about, so its better to just do that than lose a vote from some antisemetic alt righter

Thats how my religion teachers always had to say it when I asked if God really created friggin everything in 7 days, and how the world could have been around for billions of years, while others claim its only 7,000 years old.
Essentially, "the stories are bullshit, but the takeaways aren't supposed to be (although some times they are)"
Speaking of which, man, the Old Testament had some crazy worthless fables when it comes to me trying to find "religious truths" in the modern day...

Ok just to be fair here, the basic text itself hasnโt changed.
Thereโs a number of different translations in many different languages โ and as is the case with all forms of writing, translations can be difficult. Youโll find numerous translations of Homer, all trying in their own way to get as close as possible to the intent of the original in Ancient Greek.
Itโs the same thing with the Bible. And yes, it does lead to a lot of lost meaning and unfortunate interpretations. They do publish something called a โStudy Bible,โ which has extensive footnotes that attempt to explain what different words meant in their cultural context.

And you never need to either. That guy was needlessly hostile. Hauling off and reading the Bible with no context isnโt a great approach anyway. Itโs deep with symbolism and metaphor thatโs easy to misunderstand or is very open to interpretation. There are good historical resources that explain how it came to be formed over the centuries And those are far more likely to be helpful to understanding it as a text without requiring any religious interpretation or indoctrination.

Think of it as an anthology compiled out of the most important Judeo-Christian religious texts over 1,000 years. So itโs not purposely collaborative like you suggested, but is comprised of writings that share a theme. Maybe a collection of the best essays on a topic or time period is the most apt comparison. None of the authors wrote to be included in that specifically, and the act of editing it together makes a unique piece of culture and art from existing ones.
seanfidence ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 00:35:33 on June 3, 2020 ยท (Permalink)*
Yes. The Bible consists of two Testaments, Old and New, which are basically before Jesus and during/after Jesus. Then the Testaments have Books, for example the Book of John or Book of Revelations. These different books were written at different times, by different people, and have been added, removed and edited for hundreds of years.
There are different versions of "The Bible" used by Roman Catholics, Protestants, Lutherans, Baptists, etc. - so even talking to different people, they could be referring to two different Bibles (which would be mostly the same, but some differences).
If you really want to do some research, you can even find "rejected" Bible books, which some religious leaders disagree with and have denounced, such as the Gospel of Peter or Gospel of Thomas.

I dunno why this guy is being so pedantic. I don't practice, but I grew up in the church, and no one I know would look at you weird if you referred to the Bible as "a book." It is a book, after all, although it contains multiple books and is really better thought of as a collection or library. In any case, the whole point here is that whenever Trump talks about Christianity, he reveals himself to be wholly ignorant of it. Him calling the Bible a "book" is by far the least of these examples. I find "Corinthians two" absolutely hilarious, but it would be hard to explain why to a non-Christian.

They're all the same book, we just call it a series of books because words get used different over time and it didn't used to all be bound into one Gutenberg-style "book" as we know the term today.

So I don't get why instead of being upset with the pedant making the correction ('It's not one book, it's multiple books'), you're going after the guy advocating the use of common sense ('C'mon, we understand that when people call the Bible one book they're talking about the physical book').

The original comment literally was just pointing out his ignorance. He obviously is not even aware of the fact that there are more Bible books than just the one โBibleโ.

When the interviewer asks if Trump is an Old Testament or New Testament kind of guy, heโs really asking if Trump prefers the wrathful God of the Old Testament or the loving God of the New Testament. Itโs a softball questionโmost Christians or secularists would answer โIโm a New Testament guy.โ The humor in his saying โequalโ is that it shows that Trump not only hasnโt read the Bible, he isnโt even familiar with the pop culture reputation of the two sections.

I'm not trying to demean your ignorance here, but this is really really basic information about the Bible. If you were raised anywhere near Christianity you would know the difference between the two Testaments. I say this as an atheist who has maybe been dragged to one or two church services in my life. So Trump, as someone who claims to be a devout Christian in order to pander to low information Christian voters, should absolutely know how to answer this question.

Whenever I come across someone claiming to know the Bible, I ask them what the greatest commandment and the second is like it is about. After 30 answers, not one has got it correct even once. I never tell them the answer.
It is the theme of the entire Bible and it is written many times in many different books in different ways. If you don't get this correct, you don't know your Bible.

The whole question just exploits his lack of knowledge. Old vs New Testament favorites? If you're even an ounce religious, you shouldn't be picking "favorites." Despite that, New Testament is the entire foundation of Christian beliefs, whereas the Old Testament is the foundation for Judaism. Saying "equal" just shows how incompetent and waffley he is in general

Yep. this is exactly how you get him.
My first thought was that instead of asking for his favorite, they should have said "Can you name even one verse, line, or author at all?" But if you did that, he would say "You testing me? I don't have to prove anything to you."
You have to hide a patent falsehood in a seemingly innocent question itself. Maybe even have another falsie for the gotcha correction (because you know he will try to play off the first one as being in on "the joke").
Everyone knows that he's bullshitting, and I think he knows that we know, but he always has this paper thin plausible deniability to hide behind with an internal shit-eating grin. So frustrating. Imagine the satisfaction of seeing the charade break and see him realize he's undeniably been caught.

"Oh yeah, that was one of my favorite"
"What did you like about that"

Mind-bogglingly, though, most of them haven't realized this yet. (I suppose there are at least two groups of Trump supporters whom he has genuinely helped: the ultra rich and those for whom the cruelty is the point. But what about the rest of those voters??)
Maiqthelayer ยท 5 points ยท Posted at 08:49:08 on June 3, 2020 ยท (Permalink)*
The rest of the voters believe he's helping them due to Fox/other media saying he is, it doesn't matter if nothing has actually changed or if things have gotten worse, or the swamp hasn't been emptied, to the majority of their viewers Fox is absolute, the alpha, the moral compass, the outrage director.
His supporters like to claim to be the most free thinking patriotic Americans, but they are the closest we've had to the early 20th century European Fascist movements in the Western World for a long time.
They don't care what law or basic human moral code he breaks, they don't care what he does at all, they decided at one point he was right, and they know they could never be wrong, so no matter what happens after that, and which of their principals he breaks, it doesn't matter to them.
They idolise this man and each lie and line crossed they have to defend pushes them further into his group and they feel more and more invested in the cult, and would feel more embarrassed to admit they were wrong, they just shift the goalposts of what they wanted in their mind, so they can convince themself they haven't made a mistake.
As long as they can point the blame at someone else (and Trump is basically the king of this), they'll be happy.

This kind of reaction to being challenged on one of your lies probably gets a pass from his most fervent supporters because they're the kind of people who do this all the time. I lived in a very low-income neighborhood in my 20s and dealt with these types all the time. Most of my neighbors were on some form of public assistance and yet were incredibly pro-Trump. There was one neighbor who couldn't go a single conversation without telling some stupid lie in order to make it seem like he wasn't an unemployed 37 year old who lived with his elderly mother. This is what Trump would be had he not been born into obscene wealth.

I think it depends on how they rationalize the cognitive dissonance between believing that people on social welfare are mooches, and them getting social welfare.
One way to do it is to look at themselves: 'I work hard but I'm just not having luck finding a job, so I paid taxes before and now I deserve to get something back' is not racist.
Looking at denying others: 'It's better that I get social welfare so that some minority won't get it' (my brother said that to me so yes people believe that) is obviously racist.
Funny things is, if they go the other way namely that maybe someone on social welfare isn't always a mooch, they would have no cognitive dissonance to deal with at all.

These are some of the dumbest people on the planet. One of my old neighborhood city councils fought for 12 years against allowing a Hindu temple to be built, saying it would promote Islamic extremism. When pointed out that Hindus and Muslims aren't the same thing, our council president replied with "right, but they could use the temple as a cover, to blend in with the Hindus while planning an attack." Twelve years, to get that temple built. There wasn't another Hindu temple within 60 miles, so thousands of residents were driving for hours the whole time, every week.

Nah. Trump is just very bad at it. He's spent a lifetime doing it, but he's never got used to the idea that people can and do fact check what the POTUS says. They even remember what he said last week and compare notes. All his previous life he's been used to bullshitting on the wing, without ever being called on it.
He's also losing his mental faculties. It's a lot harder to keep track of lies than truths, and he simply doesn't have the memory to do it anymore.

What youre missing is how good he is at the art of the pivot. He could run a master class on how to not answer a question and talk about something, anything else.
Sure, it's completely transparent to the informed observer, but to the average joe watching this, they'd probably walk away from this video thinking trump loves the bible but chooses to keep his faith personal.
Compare that, for example, with someone who is very bad at the art of the pivot. Everyone remember Gary Johnson's "uh...what is Aleppo?" response when asked about the war in Syria? Unlike Gary, Trump would never be caught dead like that admitting he was clueless about any particular subject. He'd just vamp for 20 seconds talking generally about war then pivot to how he was against the war in Iraq (which he wasnt) and then talk about the need to rebuild our military.

He's good at making people agree with him because he uses such basic terms. But any real linguist or political scientist can read right through it. His speeches read at a 4th grade level while most politicians (and presidents) read at 8th or 9th.

It's also why so many people insist Trump has some grand scheme going on. That he's "playing the media" or that his outbursts are part of some shrewd distraction scheme.
The idea that Donald Trump managed to become president despite being profoundly stupid breaks the whole idea that there are certain safeguards in humanity. That in order to get that far you can't just be a total buffoon stumbling around barely able to read a stop sign. It terrifies people to think that he could get to where he is without having some latent brilliance, even if it's evil, even if it's sociopathic, even if it's completely immoral.
But that's how it is. Donald Trump is an incredibly, irredeemably stupid human being who managed to bluster his way upwards thanks to being given a ton of money and living in a time and place where influence and aggression are richly rewarded. Ours is not a meritocracy. You don't need to be smart to get rich. You don't need to be smart to win an election. You don't need to be smart to beat everyone.

As long as you remain unable to think of it this way you won't be able to fix the problems that your country faces because you'll keep thinking that it's out of your hands. This is the same ethnocentric attitude that insane conspiracy theories are made of by the way. If you're not American, buying into that American ethnocentrism will make you see problems that aren't there where you live. That's also how those insane conspiracy theories spread beyond american borders.

As an Australian it's incredibly frustrating to see swathes of morons jump on every insane conspiracy theory to come out of the US. Particularly because the education standard here is comparatively so high and our political discourse so much less toxic, and yet we have a whole heap of anti-vax, 5G alarmist, climate change denying simpletons on every local comment section. We recently had copycat lockdown/anti Bill Gates protests. There are even those that wish we had Trump as a leader... like come on, that guy doesn't give a shit about his own people, let alone Australians.

A big reason Trump got as far as he did was a bunch of people seeing the corruption in other countries and going "well that would never happen here."
Any country who sees Trump as a situation that couldn't happen on their turf is a country who will eventually get their own Trump.

Idiots exist everywhere of course, but for now, no other country on Earth (except maybe Brazil) has elected one to the highest office of the country. So yes, it's very much an american problem right now, despite Murdoch&co best effort to export it everywhere.

Americans aren't a different species, bucko. We're all human beings. Which means we all share these flaws. Which means you don't get to just sit over there and go "wow Americans sure are dumb, thank goodness that won't happen over here."
Spoiler alert: the feeling of "we'd never let that happen" is exactly how this happens.

It's always hilarious how the response to pointing out how the US has large amounts of uniquely fucked up people is always a pathetic tu quoque that has no ground to stand on. "HOW' BOUT U HUH?

The problem is that we'll never know if he meant that as a joke with deadpan delivery. I think it's extremely dangerous to not take the POTUS at his word (plus I thought he "told it like it is"), so I think he genuinely thinks he's the most humble person around. That's why that moment during the interview was me with my mouth open about to laugh but never actually did.

Don't have to do anything at all to be an atheist. It's the default position. Someone has to introduce/indoctrinate you before you go from an atheist to believing in any specific gods.

You know what bothers me? He doesn't even try. His only job is to pretend he's an american president. Nothing else. He doesn't know the words to the anthem, he's pretending that the bible is his favourite book, but doesn't even bother to learn a bible verse beforehand. Just one. Learn a bible verse and the anthem and you did the absolute minimum, but nope.

What really exemplifies his stupidity is that he'd set himself up for failure so easily. The bible is his favorite book? I mean obviously he's going to get asked at least one question about it eventually, and he cant even be bothered to rehearse an answer. I mean fuck this is as basic as rehearsing scripted responses to a job interview. If you're that lazy then dont name the bible as your favorite book. Say you're less into books than you are into debate or something.

Being an atheist implies he has the conviction and mental fortitude to actually have a coherent personal belief about something.

Of course it's historically significant but it's not an especially good piece of literature or anything like that. I know people are just going to call me a fedora tipping edgelord but I mean why would it be? It was written thousands of years ago. It's not like anyone would call it one of their favourite books, putting all religious and historical significance aside. Most of everything in it is profoundly unrelated to modern sensibilities anyway, there are tonnes of just strange stories with very peculiar messages in them.

Well I mean, you can if that's what you want to do. My point is that if the bible was released today for the first time it wouldn't win any awards and it would go by entirely unnoticed and I stand by that. I'm not even trying to offend anyone, I just get annoyed when people seem to think that it's a given that it's an objectively great piece of literature, because it isn't. It's not even particularly original, there are many narratives in the bible which were either commonplace in other stories, or even parts of preexisting religions.

The King James was commissioned in 1600 or so, and many of the translators are close contemporaries of folks like William Shakespeare and dismissing it as not even good literature is profoundly ignorant. There is a command and art of literary expression there that stands with anything in the English canon. Unless you're reading in the original Greek or something, the text you refer to has only been in wide circulation for 500 years or so. This is not even one thousand. You don't have to buy into the religious value of the text to also discern the literary value of it, and see that it is in fact a beautiful and priceless addition to the English language, if nothing else.

I'm reading for the bible for the first time. I'm mid twenties, UK so religion has never been a part of my life. History and impact aside: I'm amazed just how bad it is. Sure there's some nice poetry specifically in Genesis. But after that it's just repetition. The author would describe something and just repeat it to no effect. There would be paragraphs and paragraphs of asinine rules, names and measurements.
I'm about half way through and excited for the new testament because past the first few books it sucks so far.

I just disagree, religion aside, I just don't believe that it is a particularly valuable literary work. It's not particularly original and many of the proverbs/stories have really redundant/peculiar/unclear messages within the narratives. As I've said before, if it were released tomorrow for the first time it wouldn't be considered anything of value. The only reason it is relevant is because it's historically and religiously significant, that's it.

My father is very religious and would easily describe it as his favorite book. Trump on the other hand is drastically irreligious and is attempting to use the Bible as some symbol of his spirituality.

The Old Testament was written over a period of about 1000-1200 years.
There are many differing sources, but that seems to be the general consensus.

Hmm, I tend to think of the Bible as both Testaments. However, your response, and follow up, makes me think that's probably too narrow a view and should be amended.
Due to that, I see your point and will call my initial reaction entirely wrong. If I was to nitpick, I should have made clear which version, but since I didn't even think in those terms, it makes my first comment invalid.
Consider my mind changed on that point.

I think thatโs not an uncommon view. But when we look at the influence โThe Bibleโ (or Judeo-Christian values) has had on the world, I think we need to view them as two parts of the same work.

Now we all know you're just asking a meaningless question in order to fish out responses for such a basic fact. But still, you just gotta look at any aspect of humanity's history to see that the Bible, even if you just narrow it down to the old testament, has deeply influenced it. Whether it be through the israelites settlement of Palestine, Constantine the Great's bias towards Christianity or the history of western art.

Nothing much, I heard rumors that this fairy tale book was only directly related to such minor things like christianization of many former pagan peoples over a relatively short period of time in this footnote of a country known as the Roman Empire. There's probably nothing else of note like let's say the events and figures of this Bible being the basis of just a few pieces of music, paintings, or statues.

The way I've been told about it is the new testament makes you not have to do the different rituals you had to do to appease God as Jesus died to fulfill it and forgive our sins. Many of the laws are still there like the ten commandments. Another example is that we don't have to do animal sacrifices any more because of Jesus dying on the cross. Another person said its like an addendum which is true.

Okay. That sounds very one-sided. You could also say that many of the absolutely ridiculous beliefs and brutal punishments by and large come from the Old Testament specifically. Like 90% of what people bash bible worshippers for. And this is coming from someone who is an ex-Christian, by the way.

I was just saying what I've been told about the new testament. It's basically an addendum to the OT and since Jesus died it makes many of the rituals (such as animal sacrifice)in the OT not necessary as well ending the punishments for not following them.

BuiltFromScratch ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 12:52:59 on June 3, 2020 ยท (Permalink)
Itโs asking where he sits in terms of his militancy to ideology.
The Old Testament is akin to ancient Judaic teachings, with all its old laws and parables. When Jesus was born and took mantle on earth as the Son of God the New Testament began.
The New Testament has numerous references to being the barometer to which properly adhering Christians are supposed to abide by now, superseding the writings of the Old Testament.
The Old Testament effectively became nothing more than โhistorical storiesโ that help inform the religion and the teachings of Christ but are no longer the main outline for our societal and religious convictions as Christians. The Jewish faith still holds the Old Testament as their main holy book as they believe the Son of God has yet to return and Jesus was at most a prophet, so writings of the New Testament which praise him on the same level as God are effectively blasphemous when viewed in the scope of the Old Testament.
What it comes down to is a theology based purely on the words of a minority of men wanting to craft a suitable religious cult they could use to enslave the populous. This can be seen in the canonization of the Bible in around 300 ad and all the โbooksโ they decided to not include in the Bible; not because of inaccuracies (though Iโm sure thereโs plenty,) books werenโt included as they didnโt create the narrative the budding young church was hoping to create.

It's an evasionary answer. Trump (in all likelihood based on evidence) hasn't read the Bible, doesn't go to Church, and merely says he likes it to court the religious right in America. He essentially is non religious and just playing it up for votes. His answers here are PR answers to avoid having to admit he doesn't really know anything about either testament.
It would be like if he claimed Star Wars was his favorite film franchise (literally claiming it guides his life choices) and when asked whether he liked the original or prequel trilogy more saying "Like them both equally." And then refusing to expound on any details or opinions beyond that. It reeks of a disingenuous answer and someone who is just playing "both sides" to pretend he's religious.

I remember that. How could he not just say John 3:16. Everyone knows that one. It's easy and crowd pleasing. I'd go with Isaiah 6:8 but that's just me.
It's embarrassing. "Are you new testament or old?" and he doesn't have an answer. He's never made it past "In the beginning..." How can this sack of shit not even ask someone to help him sound intelligent? I can literally just call a priest and ask "How can I sound smart about the Bible?" and they'd be happy to tell me. He can't even utilize resources.
Or, he could take a few days and actually read the Bible. It's a pretty quick read. I always go through the Gideon's Bible when I'm at a hotel. It's just something to read. Puts you to sleep easy. Has he never opened that drawer at the hotel? Has he never stayed at a hotel? If you want to talk about how Christian you are, at least read the fucking thing. Then you can have a discussion.

When people say Trump is dumb I donโt think they realize heโs not โdumbโ he just sits in the very middle of the line in every way shape and form making no decisions and simply staying safe in the middle (to pander to the largest dumbed down voting population). Heโs the definition of a lizard person. Knowing only how to keep and maintain a position heโs in. Similar to the Clintons. This was very eerie to watch. Anyone can name a bible verse. Theyโre everywhere. But he dodged every single moment to avoid offending any of his dumbed down voters. Heโs a genius and so useless all at the same time. Itโs ridiculous

How about Matthew 6: 5-6
" โAnd when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 6ย But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. "

I myself will lift up your skirts over your face, and your shame will be seen." (Jeremiah 13:15โ26 NRSV)

When I was in high school I forgot that I had to turn in a book report in my 6th period English class. Hadnโt even started reading it at that point and managed to frantically skim through a few pages in the hallway right before class to get a few basic things like setting and the protagonistโs name lol. As a stoned 16 year old I was able to elaborate more on 3-4 random pages of โThe Things They Carriedโ then Trump could say on the WHOLE fucking bible(his all time favorite book btw).

Can you name any character from the bible? I'd accept God but I bet Trump couldn't even get that one.
I do accept that it's his favourite book though. Not because he's ever read it but because it helps him appeal to the ignorant that would support him just because they believe he's a Christian.

At first I was like yeah I get that he doesnt want to share his favourite verses if they're his favourite for personal reasons. I totally get that. But when the interviewer asked if he's an old or new testament kinda guy and he answered equal, it was obvious he hasnt read a single word from the bible.
Talking about the testaments, I also dont get christians who praise Jesus but live by the lessons of the old testament. Like damn, He died for your sins so you can chill out and be gay if you want.
Sometimes as an evangelical lutheran it seems like other christians dont share the same religion with me.

When I was touring universities, a guide started bragging about some bands they had hosted over the years. She mentioned the Roots, and I was like, "that's cool". She asked if I was a fan, and I, for some stupid reason, said, "yeah, absolutely." She asked what some of my favorite songs were and I just froze up. After a long, awkward silence, I said, "I like ... all ... the songs".

How hard would it be to memorize "John 3:16"? I mean, he's so lazy he can't even be bothered to do that. He wouldn't even have to know the words, he just literally needs to say "John 3:16". The fundies would lap it up. But the sad part is, he's actually too lazy and stupid to do even that and the fundies don't really care if he believes in god anyway.

The great wall we built is also partly made of stone and maybe that's a coincidence, I don't know, do you think it's coincidence? It may be a coincidence but I don't think it's a coincidence.

He probably doesnt know a single verse of the Bible.
But even if he did reciting it on television would be a pr nightmare.
Imagine people making blogs and news headlines on the specifics of the verse and dissecting everything about it.
Prolly the best answer he could have given

So you just try to bullshit your way through. Then the teacher is like โdid you read it,โ and Iโm like โnoโ. Trump just keeps going, he goes to great lengths to make himself look good. He reminds me of my nephew who lies for things that he doesnโt need to lie about. Then again no one calls him out on it.

Christianity is a requirement to be the POTUS, sadly. Former presidents you could tell were not particularly religious (Clinton, Obama) successfully bullshitted their way through this, but when Trump lies, it's particularly cringey. With religion losing it's hold, I look forward to the first Atheist US president. Hopefully it's within my lifetime.

(and just breeze through the USSR part and pay specific pressure on words like OBAMA REVOKED, 2013, Unified Coalition, and if possible throw its and bits of PUTIN in there too)
Like ask all the bullshit questions and let him answer as his personal beliefs render him to do.

Could it be one of the many passages in the Bible where RAPE is allowed? Itโs there in black and white in the Old Testament.
1) Murder, rape, and pillage at Jabesh-gilead (Judges 21:10-24 NLT)
So they sent twelve thousand warriors to Jabesh-gilead with orders to kill everyone there, including women and children. โThis is what you are to do,โ they said. โCompletely destroy all the males and every woman who is not a virgin.โ Among the residents of Jabesh-gilead they found four hundred young virgins who had never slept with a man, and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh in the land of Canaan.
The Israelite assembly sent a peace delegation to the little remnant of Benjamin who were living at the rock of Rimmon. Then the men of Benjamin returned to their homes, and the four hundred women of Jabesh-gilead who were spared were given to them as wives. But there were not enough women for all of them. The people felt sorry for Benjamin because the LORD had left this gap in the tribes of Israel. So the Israelite leaders asked, โHow can we find wives for the few who remain, since all the women of the tribe of Benjamin are dead? There must be heirs for the survivors so that an entire tribe of Israel will not be lost forever. But we cannot give them our own daughters in marriage because we have sworn with a solemn oath that anyone who does this will fall under Godโs curse.โ
Then they thought of the annual festival of the LORD held in Shiloh, between Lebonah and Bethel, along the east side of the road that goes from Bethel to Shechem. They told the men of Benjamin who still needed wives, โGo and hide in the vineyards. When the women of Shiloh come out for their dances, rush out from the vineyards, and each of you can take one of them home to be your wife! And when their fathers and brothers come to us in protest, we will tell them, โPlease be understanding. Let them have your daughters, for we didnโt find enough wives for them when we dest60royed Jabesh-gilead. And you are not guilty of breaking the vow since you did not give your daughters in marriage to them.'โ So the men of Benjamin did as they were told. They kidnapped the women who took part in the celebration and carried them off to the land of their own inheritance. Then they rebuilt their towns and lived in them. So the assembly of Israel departed by tribes and families, and they returned to their own homes.
Obviously these women were repeatedly raped. These sick bastards killed and raped an entire town and then wanted more virgins, so they hid beside the road to kidnap and rape some more. How can anyone see this as anything but evil?

And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Give us day by day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil.
I tend to like:
Mark 12 36:40
โTeacher, which commandment is the greatest in the Law?โ
Jesus declared, โโLove the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: โLove your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.โ
Tl;dr - Most important: Love God and your neighbor.
And I enjoy:
Mark 12 15:22
Then the Pharisees went out and conspired to trap Jesus in His words. They sent their disciples to Him along with the Herodians. โTeacher,โ they said, โwe know that You are honest and that You teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. You seek favor from no one, because You pay no attention to external appearance. So tell us what You think: Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?โ
But Jesus knew their evil intent and said, โYou hypocrites, why are you testing Me? Show Me the coin used for the tax.โ
And they brought Him a denarius.
โWhose image is this,โ He asked, โand whose inscription?โ
โCaesarโs,โ they answered.
So Jesus told them, โGive to Caesar what is Caesarโs, and to God what is Godโs.โ
And when they heard this, they were amazed. So they left Him and went away.
Tl;dr - Pharisees: \Hehehe, we'll trick Him into saying Caesar is really important.* Taxes?*
Jesus: Seriously guys? Give Caesar his stupid face money and God your love and soul.

"Did you know this fact that is very important?" Of course he knows, he has a great mind!
So ask him questions about false information, get him to give fake answers, then come back with "but that book doesn't exist, how did you read it?" Or "that information is entirely made up, bow could you have known about it?"
PROVE HE IS A LIAR AGAIN AND AGAIN ON THE DEBATES!!! THEN KEEP CALLING HIM A LIAR OVER AND OVER.

There is a 0% chance he has read the bible, or quite possibly any other book. He requires his memos to be one page or less, with bullet points, so he can mentally digest it. He had someone else write his own book, though he loves to pretend he didn't. The guy would have trouble reading a children's story, yet he's somehow our president. I wish the movie Idiocracy still felt like satire.

If he thought he had any reason to bother with showing his Christian supporters any respect at all, he would have the common decency to at least put the minimal effort into lying to them.
All he would have had to do was memorize some form of John 3:16.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only son so that whoever believes in him shall not die but have eternal life".
In the U.S. even non-Christians who've never been to church in their lives would probably recognize that.

Oh so you like Harry Potter. What's one of the sentences used in the series?
Establishing or promoting morality through technical Bible knowledge is stupid dangerous and wrong.
Also favourite has multiple meanings in this context. If our collective presupposition is for us to assume "the Bible is my favourite book" means "they study the Bible" it makes the presupposition incorrect- the literal meaning comes first before the assumed implications of the meaning.
Obviously he's bullshitting but the belief that technical mastery equals morality is what caused the Dark Ages so it's dumb as fuck to promulgate

LOL good point but you've definitely cleverly selected the juxtaposed evidence to make my point seem stupid. You could've just as easily chose
Exodus 21:7-11ย
"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are.ย ,ย If she does not satisfy her owner, he must allow her to be bought back again.
Or Leviticus 18:12
"It is disgusting for a man to have sex with another man."
Vs.
"It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends."
Or "I am what I am, an' I'm not ashamed. 'Never be ashamed,' my ol' dad used ter say, 'there's some who'll hold it against you, but they're not worth botherin' with.'"
God is dead; we choose our fate. We the people. I stipulate that people treat it differently, as you say, but not because religion has grown in significance, but because people have been educated to reject religious dogma that inculcates belief of fear of a God. If anything, Harry Potter is a more sacred text than the Bible as a teaching tool for the modern world. I don't think people dismiss Harry Potter as quickly as you might think, and we don't live in the 40s anymore where presidents are praying over Bible verses before they drop nuclear weapons on civilians.
My point essentially: you can still like the Bible and not pray on specific verses, and I don't think that makes you a hypocrite. Because personally imma big big big fan of the abridged story of Abraham's family, but I cba reading sentence by sentence, let alone praying and memorising one. But I'd still call the Abrahamic story my favourite story only because it narrows down much about where the world is right now into easy to digest literature

I'm sure that if an interviewer asked bernie a personal question and bernie wouldn't answer, you will defend him at all cost. So, just because you don't like trump, doesn't mean that everything he does is stupid or cringe.

You are so original...
Let me explain it to you because you dont seem to understand. I dont give a damn about any points. What I care about is my ability to post.
Downvotes result into negative karma and with negative karma there are a lot of subs you cant post.
And the downvotes are for what exactly? Because I dont have the same opinion as you or other people? Its more than inmature really. I cant even remember when I downvoted something (especially because something as stupid as an different opinion).
If reddit wouldnt be so ridicules biased I wouldnt have any problem at all.

"Boohoo I can't post on a subreddit because I have negative karma boohoo"
Mate, like you said earlier, grow up. If you cannot post, so what?
People gonna have different opinions, and there are two buttons, upvote and DOWNVOTE. Why did you think they're there?
"Oh look at me, I'm holier than thou cause I don't downvote if my opinion is different". Mate, again, grow up. Nobody gives a shit. It's the internet, and the points don't matter. You said something, people disagreed, you get downvoted, move along.
And if Reddit is so "ridiculously biased", stop using it. Nobody forced you to use it. Again, like you said, grow up.
tl;dr: Stop whining cause you think you're an entitled bag of peanuts

You are literally said: stop crying because you cant read or borrow books when you go to the library
And I never said I was better... just said that I dont downvote stuff I disagree with because it doesnt make sense. Having a system that prevents you from posting because people dont agree with you is plain stupid. And who cares that there are upvotes when 70% of the people dont agree with you?
And I allready stopped visiting most subs... good to know that this sub is cancer aswell. Have a nice day (.)/)

Don't go to Reddit then mate.
What I'm saying is not "stop being a whiny entitled kid when you can't borrow a book at the library", but "stop being a whiny entitle little turd when you can't borrow a book from this library, and go to another one".
You have the right to post/comment anything here, and same as others have the right to downvote you. You're yappering that downvote is not for things of different opinions. Then what is it for? Even if there's another use for it, it's free and not going to hurt you a single bit. Again "boohoo I got downvoted so I can't post". Mate, go post somewhere else. Who gives a shit if you post things here or not. It's just you. Heck, just make a new account. Inb4 "Oh no, it takes too much time", "Oh no, I have some history with this account", "Oh no, I'm too entitled".

Like I said I dont go on most subs anymore. And I wont visit this one again.
I dont think I need to explain that there are subs I still enjoy and want to write.. that I wont give up only because about 70% of you is not capable of being nice or openminded.
Literally most of the social media is about taking sides. Even if they claim they are neutral (they arent). The whole OP for example is not even close to cringe it is just another stupid rant about the POTUS, which wouldnt be that bad if this whole thread wouldnt have been on the main page because It got upvoted and rewarded like hell.
There are subs like /r politics that are should be about the whole topic, but no its a endless rant about Trump and for months it were all about praising Sanders as lord and savior. Oh, and when you start to mention that he maybe is not H*tler incarnate you get banned and downvoted. (Allready had to make a new acc). And this is not the only example.
I have seen so much on this site. We have people that advocate violence, censorship and support things like that and they get upvoted. But its okay because it hits the people you dont like, right? You all are not better as the onces you constantly judge... and this is what pisses of me the most.
The biggest social media sites only covers 50% and 90% of this is the same bullsh*t and social media has a huge influence these days. And If you dont see why this behavior is bad than nobody can help you.
And the most fun part will be that he is mostlikely to get elected again and one of the biggest reason for this will be that you guys are so annoying and literally make all the swingvoters join the other side.
And I will sit in Germany and laugh. (Before you say something, I dont care if he loses either, because things wont change no matter if he is the POTUS or not)
You also can stop writing me now, I wont reply or read your posts anymore, because you are that kind of a person I try to avoid (this counts for any person that spams me)
Anyway have a nice day (.)/)

Youโre good dude. Reddit is a hivemind, donโt worry about it. People are allowed to have their own opinions, especially when itโs just a case of miscommunication. To be fair and clear, I would be labeled a Trump supporter too, moreso than you, but I donโt actually support him on everything or even half of everything, I just donโt lose my mind over every single thing that he does. Since this is Reddit, the fact that you even mentioned a part of the Bible being your favorite book probably will get you hate. Because to Reddit, Christianity is intolerable and you might as well be dismissed and labeled a Trump supporter just for that. Iโd just ignore people like this if I were you because theyโre not actually here to talk, theyโre just here to be angry.

"Put on the spot" does suggest he was unfairly asked a designed question. That's what that term means... I dont blame everyone here for taking it like that. That has fuck all to do with a hive mind. Stop projecting your insecurities.

Unless you're assuming he doesn't actually know a single verse from the Bible and is trying to cover it up. Which no one can have sufficient information to actually make that claim, so surely that's not the reason you find this cringey.

Of course thereโs no way to prove what someoneโs favorite book is, especially since it can change. But it definitely seems like an attempt to resonate with religious voters and nothing else. Just like his picture with the bible yesterday

You could be right. Just saying, we shouldn't make an assumption that he's lying when we don't know for a fact that he's lying.

Yes but you have to consider the circumstances:
-he lies and makes misleading claims daily so this would fit into the normal narrative
-he takes a very passive, all inclusive answer like a kid who is called on to talk about a book he didnโt read for homework
-he uses a cop out response so he doesnโt have to answer
-when pressed he shuts it down vs throwing out anything mentioned in the bible ever. Even phrases that the non religious would know like โtreat others as you would want to be treatedโ Etc
-yesterday he made an attempt to walk to a church and get a picture with a bible for publicityโs sake and then left. It indicates how he feels about the bible- a tool to influence voters
Can we say with 100% certainty he lied? No. But read between the lines and look at his past and current behavior

Not really. I read his pointed about things he's done that are sinful/conflict with Bible principals. He is saying that because of those actions, he can assume he's lying. And I'm saying that I myself have done things that are sinful and I know for a fact that I am not lying. So I disagree with the premise that if someone does sinful things then we can make an assumption on whether they're lying or not.

Not even when those sinful things are, in fact, lying? Your argument is that just because someone is a habitual liar that doesnโt necessarily mean they tell lies? Iโm not sure you fully understand the argument youโre putting forward.
NorthSanctuary ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 22:48:00 on June 2, 2020 ยท (Permalink)
My argument is the fact that someone has lied in the past or done something sinful doesn't give us the ability to make a judgment on whether they're lying or not. You can make an assumption if you want, but you cannot factually know whether someone is lying or not.
I don't understand my own argument? Lol ok.
Ch4irman_Me0w ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 23:11:49 on June 2, 2020 ยท (Permalink)
But thatโs the whole problem with your argument.
You absolutely can make a judgment if someone is lying or not. Reality is not a matter of opinion. If someone says things that are demonstrably untrue and continues to do so, itโs beyond obvious that you should use that information to predict their next actions. You donโt understand your argument at all.
NorthSanctuary ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 12:49:42 on June 3, 2020 ยท (Permalink)
You can make an assumption, but you have no definite way of knowing if someone is lying or not, unless you're a mind reader (which I assume you're not unless we're in some kind of superhuman alternate reality and I'm unaware of it). And if you want to, you can assume everything they say in the future is a lie because they've lied in the past. But you don't know their thoughts and you don't know what they actually believe. You can only make an assumption based on what they say, their body language, or things they've said in the past. I guess you can make a judgment if you want, but there is no way of knowing whether it's correct or not. There is only speculation.
I find it interesting how you continue to insinuate that I don't understand my own argument. I assure you, good sir, that I do. I am the one making it. Logically, I understand it. Otherwise I wouldn't make it.

I find it interesting that you make the assertion that I don't understand my own argument AND that you can infallibly know if someone is lying or not in the same breath because there is no way to know those two things for sure. It might be your opinion that I don't understand my own argument or that Trump is lying in this video, but you don't have factual information to back up your opinion as objective truth.
If you have the ability to infallibly know if someone is lying, you should go get a job in a court as a human lie detector. They wont' even need a jury because they only thing they'd need to do is just say "Hey, Ch4irman_MeOw, is he lying?" Then you'll say, "Yep, he's lying alright! Throw him in the brig!" And that'll be the end of it.

Definition of infallible: incapable of making mistakes or being wrong.
If you're not infallible, then you're saying it's possible that you could make a mistake or be wrong about the fact that Trump is lying here.
But you seem to be claiming that you know for certain, 100% sure, that without any mistake or error, that he is lying.

If that's your opinion, that it's easy to tell if he's lying, then okay. I disagree, but that's the beauty of open discussion. We can disagree and it's fine.
But I actually wasn't sheltered in a place like that at all. I was raised in a home where my parents assumed I was lying based off of body language and stuff and half the time they were wrong. So now I don't want to give anyone else that treatment because I know it sucks when people say you're lying and you're actually not.
And I don't live in fantasy land either. I fully acknowledge that it's a possibility that he's lying. I just don't make assumptions that I can't back up and pass them off as objectivity.

But his claiming to be a bible-loving Christian is part and parcel of his brand. He shamelessly appeals to evangelicals about his piousness.
But this is one of Trumpโs biggest lies. And it gets him a lot of support. This is why itโs relevant to post this. He uses the ignorance/arrogance of those people to boost his popularity. But the Christian Trump is a scarecrow built to hide his real self.

The thing is, the Bible is not something you just read, similar to the Koran or other religious texts in this regard. Itโs not like a normal book where you remember the essence or certain facts from it. Itโs a religious text, and he could have said super basic verses like John 3:16 or Collosions 3:23. Or he could say โI canโt remember the exact verse, but the one which says [yadda yadda yadda]โ

I am a Trump supporter. Watching this, it is kinda obvious he doesn't read the Bible. However, the very fact that he regularly brings pastors to the White House and asks for prayer in his meetings is good. He has always been a proponent of the faith and that is a good thing. I can't imagine any Democrat doing what he has done.
Edit: His actions for the faith speak louder than words.

First off, I am agnostic. Secondly, the bible has some really great values in it. I totally support the fluff of support. Faith in any shape and form shouldn't be criticized.
Also, I am not a "man of God" in the way the bible describes "God." But I can assure you Jesus is my home boy. That man saved lived.

The poor and easily riled up rioting through low income neighbourhoods, destroying small businesses and inconveniencing some rich people.
A local disturbance caused by targeted, misleading media coverage, racially motivated hatred and lack of education (or propaganda-infused oversupply of the same). The stupid, poor and easily emotionally manipulated lashing out and ironically damaging both their cause and their community.
Society at large was more at danger from the wu flu or the progressive undermining of family values than it is from these riots.

I can't quote a single line from my favorite book and I read it multiple times over the years. I can explain to you a bunch of concepts and what happens but that's it.
I would even say that knowing a bunch of phrases out of context is useless knowledge most of the time.

I read a lot and yes I remember quotes. That's from books I wouldnt consider my favourites. My favourites I could recite full passages. If you consider the Bible so important and as someone else has mentioned, base your worldview on it, I would very much expect you to know some of it from memory.

Where did you get that I'm a christian from? Everyone assuming I'm christian our of nowhere... just because I said I used to go to church ages ago I'm christian now? What a weird behavior to go around questioning other people how much they know about their religion (in my case not even my religion) and passing judgement.
I'm getting so downvoted that it takes 10m for me to answer anyone, so good luck to you all, keep on hatting. Mocking orange man for his allegedly faux christianity ain't a great look.

Anyone who can't quote at least something from the Bible or doesn't occasionally read it is a fake Christian (no true Scotsman fallacy does not apply here). The Bible is not just a book for Christians, its the foundation of their religion. How can you really call yourself a Christian without knowing anything about the book? That's like if I called myself a mathematician and I didn't know any theories of calculus. And anyone who defends Trump or gives him the benefit of doubt is now a public enemy.
