The Trump Bible is just another mockery in a long line of mockery of Christianity by MAGA

As the news about the "Trump Bible" spreads, someone posted on social media that there's some real irony in Trump selling Bibles containing American foundational documents that he completely ignored while planning and conducting an insurrection against the United States, in order to deny the peaceful transfer of power, provided for in one of those documents. He's put everything he ignores into one volume.

Well, I thought that was funny.

Then there's the thought that Christians raise millions of dollars every year to have Bibles printed in order to distribute them as widely as possible, translated into as many languages as possible, and that any genuinely Christian billionaire would be giving Bibles away, not selling them. But here we have Trump, who is a make-a-buck opportunist when it comes to selling just about anything, profiting off the King James translation, because it is copyright free, and using the proceeds to pay legal expenses, including for defending him against rape, insurrection, stealing classified documents, intimidating election workers and trying to steal a presidential election. I'm pretty sure there are plenty of authoritative words in that Bible against everything he is using it to try to defend.

If you need a Bible, you can get a nice one for free, from just about any church in America. If you buy this one, you're helping make a mockery out of the faith you claim to believe in. Frankly, this borders on blasphemy. It is, at the very least, peddling the gospel for profit, something Jesus condemned, in his words which are recorded in that very Bible.

1. Combining American foundational documents with church documents mocks that whole separation of church and state thing nt

6. The price was jacked up $10.00--IMHO--it goes into Trumps pocket-campaign. Same

book--just ten dollars more.
yes, there was a good article about the book a few days back, but I do not recall if it was on DU.

3. it's a way to funnel fundy money to him.

big bulk sales to megachurches, more bibles paid for than delivered. lotsa small donors scammed.
r they actually delivering these books, or r they vapor, like the shoes?

4. Waiting for vials of tap water to be sold as Trump Holy Water.

5. He really screwed up his marketing. He should have included "an authentic" hair from his head as a bonus.

You choose the color: gold, orange or silver. A Trump hair will be a treasured relic and family heirloom to pass down through the generations.
