Religion


When reading the article "A Born Again Donald Trump" it talks to you about Donald's history of being a Christian. It tells you that he is what they refer to as a baby -Christian.  In the past Donald Trump has used language and also actions that have led others to think otherwise. This article was based off an interview that was with Rev. Michael Anthony and Dr. Dobson. These two individuals stated that Trump in the beginning stages of Christianity cannot be expected to be farther along than others nor speak their language. I understand that when someone is starting something that we all have to start somewhere and we are all at different levels. As explained in the article by Dr. Dobson. What I find to be Fallacious about the article is here you have a Reverend and also another Pastor who are here to "lead others unto Christ". Dr. Dobson mentioned in the interview: "Mr. Trump did not exactly fit the typical mold of an evangelical. He used the word ‘hell’ four or five times,” he said. “He doesn’t know our language.” He added that Mr. Trump “refers a lot to religion and not much to faith and belief.” I am not sure if this is just me or not but it seems like the Pastor is talking down to Trump as the baby Christian he says he is and not treating him as an equal. I guess the point I am trying to get across is that here in this interview it sounds more like ranks or skill level of advancing that one must make within the religion to gain that respect of "knowing god". What I have understood from those that believe in god is that we are all equal in his eyes. I think that this back fires on them and invalidates their own argument just in the manner that they explain themselves and justify why Trump is that way he is. 

I can see also how the Reverend and Pastor want to defend Trump. I can see a couple of reasons why they would want to do something like this:
1: Because Trump can pay a big tithe.
2: Because they also are supposed to be there to give hope and be optimistic of change, in this case, that Trump can become a better Christian.
