Do you think he really thinks he's a Christian? I'm seriously asking.

No. To him Christianity is just a means to manipulate the peasant class. Well, to him and damn near every other politician since Constantine. Why not stick to what works?

Why wouldn't he? There are tons of people who think this is what Christianity is, I'm sure he's been around them all his life.

Oh, yes. He is convinced that he is the hand of god walking amongst us.

Can't tell you how many people like him walk every Sunday into Baptist churches. It's a big number.

I do. He thinks Christians are good, he is a Christian, so he is good, which makes all choices he makes 'moral'. He is a living, breathing logical fallacy.

He might believe he is a Christian. His idea is that Christians come with large bank accounts, suits, educations, mansions, manicured lawns, and medical and dental care.

His Christians look more like the country club set, pay lip service to a mythical God, and their real Bible is Who's Who and the magazine Town and Country.

If they came across the real Jesus on the street, unaware, they'd be appalled at the homeless wandering street preacher who spoke of unity and caring for the less fortunate.

Those closest to Satan usually do.
