God Offers People of Alabama New Bibles to Replace Ones Trump Signed

MONTGOMERY, Alabama (The Borowitz Report)—God has offered to give the people of Alabama brand new Bibles to replace the ones that Donald J. Trump signed during his visit to the state on Friday.

In a rare public statement from the famously mysterious deity, God said that He was furious at Trump “for defacing My book,” calling Trump’s signature “a wanton act of vandalism.”

“Where was Mike Pence in all of this?” God asked. “These people can’t do anything right.”

God added that He was “dumbfounded” that Trump had taken it upon himself to sign his name on a book to which he had “no relationship whatsoever.”

“I’ve got news for Trump: the Bible is not ‘The Art of the Deal,’ ” God said. “Of course, he didn’t write that book, either.”

My memory is a little fuzzy, but someone was playing the role of either Jesus Christ or God, and they started a thread offering to answer questions of posters on DU.

It was funny and very thought-provoking at the same time. I can never seem to find these old threads. If anyone remembers that particular oldie but goodie, and you can find it, please put a link on here.

These Christians asked him to autograph their Bibles. It's unlikely the owners would ever give them up for new ones, even if God himself offered to trade.

Seriously, since they are his most fervent supporters, selling those would be a great campaign fundraiser.
