Trump hawks bibles: 'Let's Make America Pray Again'
Donald Trump has long harped on how the Bible topped his beloved “The Art of the Deal” book.
Now he’s working to cash in on the sacred religious text, hawking his own copies dubbed “God Bless the USA Bible” for $59.99 a piece to herald Easter.
“Happy Holy Week! Let’s Make America Pray Again. As we lead into Good Friday and Easter, I encourage you to get a copy of the God Bless The USA Bible,” Trump, 77, posted on Truth Social.
Bibles can go for under $10 on Amazon. But those aren’t Trump-endorsed King James versions of the Bible and don’t have his blessing.
Evangelical pastor in North Carolina calls 'Trump Bible' blasphemous
Rev. Loran Livingston, the senior pastor of Central Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, criticized the Trump-endorsed "God Bless the USA Bible" this month as both blasphemous and disgusting. The Morning Joe panel discusses.
In the United States, two foundational documents hold immense significance: the Bible and the Constitution. While traditionally viewed as separate entities, what if there existed a unique compilation that brought these pillars together? Imagine a Bible that includes not only sacred scriptures but also the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, or even the Pledge of Allegiance. Such a fusion would symbolize the intertwining of faith and freedom, offering a holistic perspective on both spiritual beliefs and civic values.
At its core, the Bible represents a guide for moral living and spiritual enlightenment for millions worldwide. Its teachings emphasize compassion, justice, and love for one's neighbor. Similarly, the Constitution embodies the principles of democracy, liberty, and equality under the law. By integrating these documents, individuals could explore the parallels between religious virtues and civic responsibilities, fostering a deeper understanding of their interconnectedness.
The inclusion of the Declaration of Independence would serve as a reminder of the nation's founding ideals: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. This historic document asserts the inherent rights of all individuals and the duty to uphold them. Pairing it with biblical passages that advocate for justice and human dignity reinforces the notion that these principles are not just American values but universal truths rooted in divine law.
Furthermore, incorporating the Bill of Rights into such a Bible underscores the importance of safeguarding individual freedoms. The First Amendment, guaranteeing freedom of religion, speech, and assembly, aligns with biblical themes of liberty and conscience. Similarly, the protections against unreasonable searches and seizures and the right to due process resonate with biblical principles of fairness and justice.
Moreover, the Pledge of Allegiance could serve as a declaration of loyalty to both God and country. Its affirmation of "one nation under God" reflects the Judeo-Christian heritage that has influenced American society since its inception. By reciting this pledge alongside biblical passages, individuals can affirm their commitment to both their faith and their nation, recognizing the symbiotic relationship between the two.
Critics may argue that such a compilation blurs the line between church and state, potentially infringing on the principle of religious neutrality enshrined in the Constitution. However, the goal is not to promote a specific religious doctrine but rather to encourage a dialogue between faith and civic duty. Just as the Bible has inspired countless individuals to pursue social justice and humanitarian causes, so too can the principles of the Constitution serve as a catalyst for positive change.
In a time of political polarization and cultural division, a Bible that incorporates the ideals of the Constitution offers a unifying symbol of hope and harmony. It reminds us that, despite our differences, we are bound together by shared values and aspirations. By studying both sacred scriptures and civic documents, individuals can cultivate a more nuanced understanding of their roles as citizens and stewards of the common good.
In conclusion, a Bible with the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights, or Pledge of Allegiance in it represents a convergence of faith and freedom, inviting individuals to explore the interconnectedness of spiritual beliefs and civic values. Rather than viewing these documents in isolation, we should seek to understand how they complement and reinforce each other, guiding us towards a more just and prosperous society.
And that's from the perspective of a RepubliCON selling it
I think it's just wrong to include the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, Bill of Rights or Pledge of Allegiance in it
It's a matter of separation of church and state
