Mike Pence signs multimillion dollar book deal on "his journey as a Christian"


The former vice president will write two books glorifying himself as he prepares for a possible presidential bid.

By Bil Browning Thursday, April 8, 2021

Former Vice President Mike Pence has signed a multimillion-dollar book deal with publisher Simon & Schuster. Pence will pen two books in a deal with a reported $3-4 million dollar price tag.

Pence’s books will be about himself and “his journey as a Christian,” but not any policy issues facing the country. The first book will recount his time in the Trump administration while the second will be autobiographical.

“Vice President Pence’s life and work, his journey as a Christian, the challenges and triumphs he has faced, and the lessons he has learned, tells an American story of extraordinary public service during a time of unrivaled public interest in our government and politics,” Simon & Schuster vice president Dana Canedy told The Guardian.

“His revelatory autobiography will be the definitive book on one of the most consequential presidencies in American history.”

translate "Christian" to "Christo-Fascist". That works for me.

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Matthew 6:24


Turns out that's not much of a problem if Trump is the "chosen one" of your asshole god.

Matthew 19 Jesus Counsels the Rich Young Ruler

16 Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”

17 So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”

18 He said to Him, “Which ones?”

Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ 19 ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ ”

20 The young man said to Him, “All these things I have kept from my youth. What do I still lack?”

21 Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.”

22 But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
