Most Christians know that one by heart and would expect him to know it.
Plus he'd just fumble around and never find the book of John.

but I have to admit I'd probably need a hint to be able to quote John 3:16. Unless it's the verse about God so loving the world he gave his Son, then I guessed right.

I'd also like to see MF45's phony spirituality exposed as the fraud it is. I'd like even more for religion to have no mention whatsoever in elections.

Someone who can ask a polite and pointed religious question or two, exposing Trump's ignorance for the viewing world.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.


Or ask him what his favorite verse is.

3. Can you name a few books of the Bible?
Thu Aug 6, 2020, 09:13 PM

Trump: "Well, I like them all."
Moderator: "But can you name a few? Even one?"
Trump: "I don't want to pick a favorite. They're all strong books, beautiful books."
Moderator: "C'mon! You can't name even one? I'll give you a clue: Phil Collins was in a band named after the first one. Gen . . . e--"
Trump: "--talia. Genitalia. Great book. Maybe as good as 'The Art of the Deal,' which I wrote myself, with no help."

Corinth was the red light district of the ancient world.

Which is not to undercut or question the faith of the Christians who were there and received those letters. I live surrounded by Republicans myself, but I'm not one.

The bracelet & ring forms are shortened beads basically to help keep track of how many "Hail Mary's" you've recited before moving to the next set of 10, a total of 50 Hail Mary's.

Trump has never prayed a minute in his life, which would be fine if he didn't claim some sort of "religiousity."

If he ever has prayed, it was certainly a foxhole prayer, which again, I doubt.

During a town hall debate he should just ask for someone in the audience to borrow their copy of the Bible. He then flips to a random page, then presents it to Trump and says "read aloud the first paragraph". The mispronunciation slurs would be comedy gold.
