"Born Again" doesn't actually mean anything.

I think it probably means something, at least to the people who use the phrase seriously.  In the gospel according to St. John, Jesus said something about being born again.  I don't read Greek, though, so I don't actually know what John said, just what translation say he said.  There are other English translations that use the phrase "born from above" instead of "born again."  I do think that the observant evangelical Christians, who very often use the Jamesean English translation of 1609, do associate a real meaning with the phrase.

Or do you mean that it hasn't any meaning for The Donald?  That I can agree with.

I see.  So it's rather like the word "liberal."  Means whatever you want it to at the moment.

Well, anyway, I can't get inside Trump's head but I have a hard time believing he worships any god other than the Almighty Dollar.
