Reply To: Please vote for Cruz – part 1 – BDS

To Charliehall, 1) Wikipedia says quotes Trump as saying he is Presbyterian. Please present facts to support your position – or I will assume that you have retracted it.

2) Trump has not condemned BDS. This is very serious, and no one is talking about it. If you have contrary facts, please post them.

Here is a quote from the Wikipedia article.

“Religious views

Trump says that he is of Presbyterian faith.[422] In an April 2011 interview on the 700 Club, he commented: “I’m a Protestant, I’m a Presbyterian. And you know I’ve had a good relationship with the church over the years. I think religion is a wonderful thing. I think my religion is a wonderful religion.”[423][424] Trump told a 2015 South Carolina campaign audience he attends Marble Collegiate Church, where he married his first wife Ivana in 1977. The church has said he is “not an active member.”[425] Trump has said that although he participates in Holy Communion, he has not asked God for forgiveness for his sins. He stated, “I think if I do something wrong, I think, I just try and make it right. I don’t bring God into that picture.”[426]

In 1983, the Reverend Norman Vincent Peale, described in a New York Times profile as Trump’s “pastor” and “family minister”, said that Trump was “kindly and courteous in certain business negotiations and has a profound streak of honest humility.”[26] Trump calls his own book The Art of the Deal (1987) “my second favorite book of all time,” and has told campaign audiences: “Do you know what my first is? The Bible! Nothing beats the Bible.”[427][428] Declining to name his favorite Bible verse, Trump said “I don’t like giving that out to people that you hardly know.”[425]

Trump maintains relationships with several prominent national evangelical and Christian leaders, including Tony Perkins and Ralph Reed.[429] During his 2016 presidential campaign, he received a blessing from Greek Orthodox priest Emmanuel Lemelson.[430]”
