This is the day the Lord has made, Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

And I know during her family troubles in the late nineties, she got a devotional sent to her each morning by her pastor/counselor. That's usually something like verses or an inspirational blurb to use to center yourself if you're devout or to help in tough times.

I'd say he's a messed up liar, but more likely his narcissism prevents him from knowing about anything beyond himself. He said something recently about how nobody ever talked about polls or paid attention to them before he did. Seriously.

I've been waiting for the atheist angle to come in to play. Looks like it might now?

given his totally epic failure discussing his faith a couple of month's ago, is so bizarre that there is no predicting where, if anywhere, he was planning on going with this.

these 2 Corinthians walk into a bar and say, "Do you think this Donald guy will know who we are?"

Well, I thought that's where he was going with his speech at Liberty "University!"

Donald Trump's History of Questioning Others' Religion
by Emma Margolin

"Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday hit Democratic rival Hillary Clinton on the topic of faith, telling a group of evangelical leaders who represent a crucial Republican constituency that "there's nothing out there" regarding the former secretary of state's religion.

Clinton is, in fact, a practicing Methodist who knows her Bible well and speaks often about the important role faith plays in her life. In her books, and occasionally on the campaign trail, Clinton has talked openly of how she turned to faith in times of hardship, including during the Monica Lewinsky scandal and the death of her best friend, Diane Blair, in 2000.

Trump, on the other hand, identifies as a Presbyterian but has struggled to demonstrate basic Biblical literacy this election cycle. Last year, Trump's Manhattan church, Marble Collegiate, released a statement saying the twice-divorced real estate developer was not an "active member."
