Glenn Beck Calls Out Trump for Being Insincere About His Religious Faith

Glenn Beck has a hard time buying that Donald Trump is a sincere man of faith after listening to what he’s publicly said about his religious beliefs.

The kicker for Beck today was Trump being asked about the Bible on Bloomberg yesterday. Mark Halperin asked him to name his favorite Bible verses, and Trump said it’s personal, so he doesn’t want to get into it.

When asked whether he’s more an “Old Testament guy or New Testament,” Trump said, “Probably equal. I think it’s just incredible, the whole Bible is incredible.”

Beck today found that to be just so insincere, saying, “You can’t be Mr. Straight Shooter and come out and do this.”

3. Head exploding...

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]I actually agree with Glenn Beck!

4. Me too (so you don't feel all alone!).

IMO, this religious angle is something to lure the Christian conservatives. I have no idea about his upbringing, but the way he can't answer those questions is suspect.

5. Absolutely, Trump's just pandering.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]No question about it in my mind. His expression and his tense body language all confirmed it for me - not to mention his entire business and personal history.

Thanks for the not-alone support!

7. all the republican cadidates are pandering to the religious right

they have been for years

8. Unfortunately, yes.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]All too true. And the RW churches accept and reinforce support for these loons.

6. If Trump's followers haven't figured out by now that he's lying, they're not going to.

Did Trump lose any support because of his answer about the Bible? I doubt he will.

9. because nothing's more sincere than a *Mormon heresiarch*

10. Not that I give a rat's ass about any of it...

But for a guy that believes in magic gold tablets and magic underwear...to question the sincerity of another persons religion or belief is kind of...well, unbelievable.
Beck is a bozo.
But, then so is Trumpet.

11. Beck is a true religious nutcase and dislikes fake religious nut cases

This could be fun if people still cared about Beck's opinion

[Promethean]

12. Its not just Beck.

Liberal podcasters and internet commentators have noted how insincere Trump appeared in that interview. The general running theme is that it is so obvious even the most deluded fundies will notice and probably be turned off.
