“Bernie Sanders, who doesn’t believe in God, how in the world (are) we going to let Bernie — I mean, really?” Burns said, as the crowd applauded. “Bernie’s got to get saved, Bernie’s got to meet Jesus. He’s got to have a coming to Jesus meeting.”

1. When they convert to the human race.

[grasswire]

2. Let's really scare them:

Boo!!!!

Booga booga!!!

3. Convert or die

You've gotta be a special sort of bozo to be in the Trump tent.

4. Christians seem to have more gods than the Jews

[Barack_America]

5. Just "love fests" full of tolerance those Trump rallies.

6. It's a sad comment on our country

but I'm pretty sure that, if and when Bernie gets the nomination, the GOP will go all out anti-Semitic as one avenue of attack.

Then again, anyone dim enough to be an anti-Semite would probably never be reachable by us anyway. Even so, I'm hoping the Sanders campaign has factored this into their GE strategy.

7. It won't just be the republicans. We've seen it right here at DU already n/t

[thucythucy]

9. I hope comments like that get hidden

but then again I've seen some pretty questionable posts let stand by jurors.

What crass times these are.

22. The irony: Trump's daughter is Jewish

Ivanka Trump converted when she married, become Modern Orthodox.

8. Demagogue: one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots. Mencken

10. Ironically, Bernie is the most Christ like of any of them, and my Jewish husband agrees. nt

12. exactly. you can live a christ like life

and be an atheist. it comes down to following the golden rule.

13. Article VI, Clause 3...

..."but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States."

Our Constitution is pretty damned clear on the topic.

14. When a dog whistle is replaced by a bullhorn.

Burns, who is black, encouraged the audience to cheer louder and reminded them to watch his upcoming appearance on CNN, where he planned to promote Trump’s campaign, and tweaked the Black Lives Matter movement by telling the cheering crowd that “all lives matter.”

19. Oh my goodness

[TheBlackAdder]

15. Jesus isn't coming back! Revelation isn't happening, no matter how many Jews convert! nt

[vintx]

16. I think it's Mr 'I'd date my daughter if we weren't related'

who needs Jesus

[rbrnmw]

17. WTF??

Maybe he should talk to the Orangutan he's introducing. Jesus was liberal we all know that.

[sadoldgirl]

18. Should this pastor not first arrange for

a come to Jesus meeting for Trump? That guy
seems to need it badly.

[Punkingal]

20. How ironic from a Trump supporter.

If Trump had been around back then he would have led the cabal to the crucifixion!

[retrowire]

23. Why is this post giving me deja vu?!

Like MAD deja vu! WTF

[Nonhlanhla]

21. As if Trump knows Jesus!

And no, Bernie does not need to know Jesus. He is fine just as he is.

Trump could use some kind of conversion. He seems sorely lacking in humility, the cardinal Christian virtue, as well as in knowledge of the Bible or the Christian tradition, Christian liturgy (he tried to out money into the communion plate recently), or in a history of Christian worship. As a Christian I find it sickening that so many evangelical Christians are embracing this vile man who in no way, shape, or form represents Christ or his Church.

24. After Senator Sanders met with Jesus,

Jesus then endorsed Sanders' campaign for the White House in a hastily-called press conference.

"It's about time we had a compassion soul with his hands on the levers of political influence," the Galilean told gathered members of the media at the subsequent presser.

"I've longed talked about feeding the hungry and clothing the naked, but I observe that presidents from the Republican Party in this country have fallen short of the mark on those counts. Well, 'fallen short of the mark' doesn't really explain their level of negligence. I guess what I meant to say was, 'They haven't done shit for the poor.'
