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.
