'Trump Bible' one of few that meet criteria for Oklahoma classrooms

Scam to shovel taxpayer dollars to Trump.

Specifically created for the grift.

Walters is a piece of shit.

Forcing your State to buy 55000 Bibles from ONLY Trump is PROOF that DEMOCRATS are the Swamp!

There is no better description of the anti christ than trump.

This is the perfect job for the satanic temple.

The bible, complete with all American founders documents : brought to you by satan.

Shouldn’t Church and State doctrine (or whatever it is called) immediately make all of this illegal?

Bible [...] must include copies of the Pledge of Allegiance, Declaration of Independence, U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights

I'm sorry? Why would people mixed (modern) political text to their religious ones? Aren't people buying bibles suppose to care about their religion?

Why are they putting bibles in classrooms in the first place? Did they repeal the First Amendment?

if that doesnt convince you that religion is made up on the spot for conniving convenience, nothing will

people still read the KJV?

and like, not as some sort of masochistic snoodery?

With the 3 million they would save buying the cheaper bibles(something they shouldn't be doing either) they could wash a lot of men's feet. They could be teaching all these students how to fish. That is their job after all.

I'm sure jeebus had a thing or two to say about marketplaces of thieves and swindlers.

For fuck's sake in ten years we're going to hear kids tell us the Constitution was given to us by Jesus.

Is there a term for a society that has all the wealth, technology, industrial knowledge, and manpower readily at hand to be a utopia and despite that, leans hard into dystopia?

"Let's make our requirements exactly this bible"

Ah, yes, the best thing to do money laundering with: Bibles!

Yep, that’s when you start with the answer you want, then set “general” requirements that only it can meet

Who tf wrote those requirements?

It seems pretty clear to me that they intended the Trump Bible to be the only one that fit all the specifications.

Rev 22:18 NET testify to the one who hears the words of the prophecy contained in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book

I always object to adding anything to the bible. It is fine to want a printed constitution but it should be a separate book.

Trump, cashing in on licensing. Like the $100K watches, where proceeds don't quite go to funding his campaign. They money goes pretty much directly to his pocket. He loves the poorly educated!

So... do Catholic Schools have to use this King James Bible?

Because that's going to be fun.

you mean to tell me the requirement isn't "be a bible" ???

Isn't it ironic that bibles sold to this agency have the documents stating there is separation of church and state included in the book?

OH WOW! That's such a weird coincidence! Imagine the odds of that! /s

Of course they did. The thing is the way the law is written violates the Constitution by promoting an ideologically-loaded, outdated translation of the Bible used by more socially extreme groups.

• NRSV(UE) is the gold standard nowadays.
• Leather cover? Why? What's the point?
• The Founding Documents to the United States do not belong in a Bible. Not everything has to be tarnished with crass "Patriotic" grift.
• Just the Bill of Rights? The Amendments to the Constitution are legally part of the Constitution. What are they not included? Is there something in those Amendments they don't feel is appropriate?
• This Bible has consistent poor reviews on Youtube. A number of Bible collectors, theologians, pastors, etc have panned this book for being cheaply and poorly made. It has poor print quality, it's pages stick together, are thin, and rip easy.

It should be obvious to anyone this is an ideological grift and it is criminal graft too. These criminals need to be thrown in prison for this.

if legislation was to be passed against this book, would it be called the "bye bible bill"?

Pretty clear they wrote the requirement to fit some recently hacked up version as opposed to the one hacked up by king james.

Wait, I thought these guys were against indoctrinating children or whatever?

That is pretty messed up.

Why would any school want a Bible that doesn't also have the Declaration and Constitution? It's a perfectly logical requirement, and it's not Trump's fault so few others are making them.

So do these bibles omit all of the text and stories in the normal Bible that would qualify them for book bannings?

To be fair, the average readers just interpret the word as is convenient to their own ends, so...
