Former President Donald Trump is hawking Bibles as he runs to return to the White House. The presumptive Republican nominee Tuesday released a video on his Truth Social platform urging supporters to buy the “God Bless the USA Bible."
Besides a King James Version translation, it includes copies of the U.S. Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration of Independence and the Pledge of Allegiance, as well as a handwritten chorus of the famous Greenwood song.
Of course he used the KJV. The version that no modern Christian couldn’t read if they wanted to and the version that basically every fundamentalist Christian has on their bookshelf and never opens.
Ooh the fundies get mad mad when anyone suggests that perhaps the KJV isn’t the only, or even best, version. And it’s always the ones who post their dumb Bible journaling where they’ve highlighted all but like, 3 words. Bitch, you didn’t read all that. You would’ve known what to actually highlight if you did.
I take offence at that, we have a KJV on our book shelf and it is never opened and I certainly don’t call my self a fundamentalist Christian, or even a Christian.
It is sitting with the greek myths, british folk law, NZ pre European accounts/trade/culture, and the section with all the language/translation etc

They probably chose the KJV because it’s in the public domain.
For $59.99 i think you could stay at a Motel 6 and just take the bible from the nightstand.
Gotta love the ‘words of God’ being kept behind an intelectual property wall.
So, if this book isn’t transformative in any wood, can it be copyrighted? Just saying, maybe someone should sell a “God Bless the US” Bible for $49.99
It includes a handwritten chorus from that Greenwood song. So, you would have to leave that out
Or… we get Weird Al to write a parody song instead.
