Churches can't donate to PACs or candidates.

This is a great way to get around that - just buy thousands of bibles instead.

Imagine reading a headline about a presidential candidate attacking a judge's kid. In a trial where he used campaign money to keep a porn star quiet. A porn star he cheated on his wife with. A guy who cheated on his other wives and raped and/or assaulted dozens of women. And he's now selling bibles. A guy who doesn't know the bible and doesn't go to church.

Now imagine someone defending him, saying it's ok because it might get a bible into someone's hand who didn't have it before (very unlikely on its own).

tRump selling bibles for $50 even though they are available for free online. You have to wonder ~ who is the bigger fool: tRump or those who believe in his MAGA idiocy?

If it helps brings more people to Christ, is that not a good thing? Oh, the tragedy....

That's not really the point though is it, youth? Trump doesn't believe there's one word or person in that book that is going to make you a better person and improve your life than his words and his example of how to live your life and what kind of person you should be. He doesn't believe that anymore than the snake oil salesman believes that his magic elixir will cure all that ails you. No doubt a bunch of his worshippers will get themselves a copy. Meanwhile, I just keep smh.

Maybe you and seacoaster fail to see how God can and does work. If you put a Bible in the hands of people that would have otherwise never had one, or even read it, that becomes a personal relationship between the reader and their thoughts....which can, and often enlighten people to see a broader spectrum of their lives and that of Christ.

Who gives a chit how the bibles are getting in their hands, not everything needs to be political.

Boy, youth, that's either some inspired trolling or is really, really pathetic if you remotely believe that, in this instance, it's God's not Satan's hand driving Trump's sales of this blasphemous "Bible".

I can hardly imagine an act that would more discredit Christian faith than this.

YA, it's a $60 Bible that funds a politician who claims he's a billionaire.

Well all know doggone well that every single one of the homes these go to already have Bibles...several of them....on the shelf.

This is taking money away from those who can't afford it, more often than not. Don't turn this into a "everyone hates Christians" thing. That's not the problem here.

If this was sincere? Trump would give them away, and you know it. There are MULTIPLE organizations that give printed Bibles away, in DOZENS of languages.

Not to mention, you can get it online for Free. This is GRIFT, YA. There's no defense for it, sorry

Selling something for $50 is likelier to bring people to Christ than is getting a bible for free online?

Surely you jest!

I am separating the Trump Bible Sale (which is grift and I agree if it were authentic on his part, he would give them away), from the work it could it do in the end. Why do any of you care that the word of God is being spread...unless you are non-believer, which is fine? Heaven forbid if it helps someone along the way and provides a common thread to openly discuss Christ.

I appreciate the comments by all.

We DON"T care. YA: we're not reacting to the Bible part. We're reacting to the GRIFT part.

We've been calling out TrumpGrift for YEARS nearly every time he comes up with some new scam. It's gross.

This is no different. The part I'm trying to impart is: this has NOTHING to do with Christianity, and nothing would make me happier than to see anyone, anywhere on the planet get comfort and hope from ANY book, and that most most certainly includes the Bible.

Curiously, always seem unused. Must be new editions.

Great post, and I mean that. But “deaf ears” is all I can think of now. SMFH indeed.

The "word of God" is NOT "being spread". It's being sold.

Seriously, I can hardly imagine an act, or actor, who would more grossly discredit Christianity. This is a straightforward appeal to American Christian Nationalism, with Trump the anointed Savior. It's sacrilegious, blasphemous, and oh yeah, blatantly "political"...AND a grift of the suckers. And yup, opposite of Jesus' preaching.

Complete with the Seven Commandments

[NattyBohChamps04]

Complete with the Seven Commandments

Seven? One or two if we're lucky.

2 You shall have no other gods before me. I think there's a few things he worships before god.

3. You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above or that is on the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth.



4. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name. ‘Using the Lord’s name in vain’: Evangelicals chafe at Trump’s blasphemy

5. Remember the sabbath day, and keep it holy. Except for golf, and everything else.

6. Honor your father and your mother, so that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics ... ther-will/

7. You shall not murder. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but Ivana's death is suspect.

8. You shall not commit adultery. Whoops.

9. You shall not steal. Stealing from a children's cancer charity? Just the tip of the iceberg.

10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, male or female slave, ox, donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor. Whoops

Don't forget the one that Republican voters "forget" about: stealing from a military charity.

But hey, ask around here: you'll find that "that's ok", because AFTER he was caught, and forced by a Judge? Oh, he paid it back.

It's a "victimless crime", because Republicans don't have to follow laws, silly. Only the "other people" have to be honest and stuff.
