Trump needs to be President in order to get into heaven

At least, that’s what the Republican presidential candidate told a group of conservative-to-the-extreme evangelicals on Thursday.

Here’s his comment:

“So go out and spread the word, and once I get in, I’ll do my thing that I do very well. And I figure it’s probably — maybe the only way I’m going to get into heaven, so I better do a good job.”

Faith without works is dead, but then, too, God’s grace is sufficient. It is beyond the ability of this blog to judge whether this particular political candidate is a candidate for heaven, but as an aside — though an important one — the group to which he was speaking has called homosexuality a “Marxist plot.” That kind of stance would run counter to the candidate’s suggestion that he bring the GOP into the land of truth and light in regard to sexual orientation. Piggy-backing off that important side, this is not the first time the candidate has attracted unsavory types, who, like their candidate, may or may not be heading for Glory.)

All that to say, if Donald J. Trump gets into heaven, maybe the rest of us can breathe a sigh of relief.
