Trump Sells $59.99 Bible

@Jolly

..If you knew of a politician who wanted another man's wife so badly, he seduced her and screwed her. Finding out later that the woman was pregnant, he arranged to have her husband killed.

Later:

Sorry, but I'm referring to David and Bathsheba….

Be on your way! I was sure you were referring to Slick Willie Clinton.

….pretty sure the yarn about David is just that, a yarn. You were sharing the good gossip about the Clintons again.

In Magaworld “there exists a person even worse” is a valid character defense of the Dear Leader.

Sorry, but I'm referring to David and Bathsheba, as I figured even a cursory scholar of the Bible would know. David was not perfect. In fact, he was a deeply flawed man. But God chose him to do some mighty things within his life. Sometimes God has used flawed men for his purposes. David conquered Jerusalem and united Israel. He defeated the Philistines so badly, they never bothered Israel again. And David brought the border of Israel al the way to the sea. God made a covenant with David, promising that a king from his line would rule forever.

That king was Jesus Christ.

Trump isn't David. But never doubt that God can work through less than perfect people.

I'm once again reminded of the story about the person with the vegetarian dog. "What a coincidence, just like you!".

Again, it really doesn't matter, does it?

I haven't defended Trump's actions in this thread, other than the shit-spraying over someone selling a book that most of you wouldn't even bother to read. I find nothing wrong with the physical act of selling a Bible.

Do you?

[Renauda]

No it doesn’t matter.

It does matter though when the sales weasel peddling that Bible is disingenuous about it.

I think that the cynical exploitation of people's religious faith is pretty disgusting.

Yes, I find billionaires selling bibles to make money wrong.

What's next, Trump the televangelist? He's already got the look,

[Jolly]

So, what do you not agree with?

1. Selling Bibles? Is there something inherently wrong with that?
2. The statement that every home in America should have a Bible?

[Jolly]

BTW, for $500,000, you could of had your picture taken with the 3 Dems in New York today.

The one GOP president in New York today was not taking pictures for money. He was attending a slain officer's funeral.

Compare and contrast, Trump in 2020:
https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2020/09/trump-americans-who-died-at-war-are-losers-and-suckers/615997/

… [Trump] did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.

Has Trump changed?

Got verification for that story? Who saw it? Who heard it? Were they in The Beast at the time?

Has Trump changed?

Has Biden?

I mean, who are you going to believe, unnamed sources quoted by The Atlantic, or your own lying eyes?

LOL. Biden LITERALLY tweeted this while he was at the fundraiser, and the "other guy" was at the funeral.

Your timing was just a bit wrong, IMO.

[Doctor Phibes]

Shouldn't we just assume that all of these people, flawed as they are, are doing God's work? Who are we to question what is in their hearts?

Also, for $60 shouldn't you at least get some free ammo with every purchase of the All American Bible?

A. I wouldn't assume a whole lot either way. I don't pretend to know the Mind of God. All I do know is that He has used seriously flawed people in the past to do His Will.
B. I said the Bible was over-priced.

It's certainly true that some seriously flawed people have been said to be doing God's work while doing some terrible things. To be fair, I don't think Trump really compares with Oliver Cromwell or Osama bin Laden, he's more of a P.T. Barnum figure, or a character from a Gilbert and Sullivan production. The most surprising thing about him is how willing people seem to be to taken in by his nonsense.

[George K]

Grassroots, LOL. That's some fucking expensive grass.

[89th]

As said on the show…

If Trump is now in business with God, the Big Guy might want to watch out as in a year or two he’ll be bankrupt and sentenced to 50 days in jail.
