    'Personal pastor' Paula White says Trump serious about faith -- even if not fluent in "Christianese"

    [quote]The Donald Trump that Florida evangelical minister Paula White sees is a good listener, a man who takes his faith seriously while not always being fluent in “Christianese” and, unlike so many of his predecessors, a politician who has kept his promises to faith vot ...[text shortened]... luency in "Christianese" significant? Is there some kind of minimum requirement ~ if so, what is it?
    "Christianese" is a derisive term for outwardly religious sounding speech.

    For example, Christians who pray using "thee" and "thou" could be guilty of Christianese.

    Paula White is trying to dismiss criticisms of Trump's obvious lack of any real concern for being Christian, while trying to appear like one. She's trying to say Trump is an outsider to all the religious cliches of Christians that comprise "Christianese". Kind of the same way Trump voters dismiss his obvious lack of politic knowledge as Trump simply not being part of the "establishment" (usually meaning people who are pawns of the political system).

    Naturally, this all BS. Just another example of Christians trying to make themselves feel better about being hypocrites by supporting Trump.
