    Right. My previous post:

    Here are the facts from the Park police who were right in the middle of it:

    He never even walked inside the church. He never opened the book. He didn't say a word.

    It was a stunt, a pose, a photo opp.
    That day, maybe not. But possibly other Sundays he does?

    Is he the only president who has done a photo op with a Bible? Bill Clinton has been photoed carrying a Bible. Make you wonder if he ever cracked it open.

    This photo with a Bible criticism is just that. Criticism.

    Let's be honest, they have ALL used photo ops going to church, carrying bibles etc. To influence voters. I don't think any of the last 5 presidents were consistent church goers corrected me if I'm wrong. I only recently found out Trump grew up Presbyterian. Many people (and Trump too?) are basically cultural Christians at best.

    Off topic just for a sec, some of you may not have known Ronald Reagan was a member of Amie Simple McPhearson's Angeles Temple in LA during its glory days

    Thanks Pentecali, and it's a good point. I'm quite sure that President Trump is not the first politician to use (or abuse) religion for personal gain. Nevertheless, it's not a good thing!!
