hmmmm Trumpie better keep Ivanka's bible close
God didn't write the Bible....which is nothing more than a collection of "accepted" manuscripts for the masses.
The only thing God wrote was the Ten Commandments....which are lost or destroyed.
And Jesus wrote some stuff in the ground with a stick when they were trying to stone an adulterer.
If anything, he's more likely to strike him down for using the manuscript as an idol of protection.

Also stop firing chemical irritants and rubber bullets at peaceful protesters.
Was that the same unit?
