What do you think about a candidate selling $60 Bibles to raise campaign funds?

[Anonymous]

he says everyone should have one, but he's selling them for $59.99 each and keeping the profits for his campaign.

Bibles for campaign funds

it's perfectly legitimate

it's borderline blasphemous

it's outright blasphemy

more people who can spend $60 on books need Bibles

If he wants more people to have Bibles, why doesn't he give them away or sell them at costs?

Also, is selling $60 Bibles really the best way to "Make America Pray Again"

[NamerOfStars]

It's not like there aren't many ways to copy of the book for free; this is just a special promotion. I suppose it's kind of meant to imply that God endorses his candidacy, which is another matter altogether, but selling the books themselves is fine.

To my mind, anyway- Jesus had a rather different idea. If he also raised money by selling images of Jesus whipping him down the street, he could probably buy half the country.

You guys are getting pathetically desperate.

[Asker]

I agree. Resorting to selling $60 Bibles to raise funds and then lie that it's about "making America pray again" is patheticlaly desperate!
Can MAGA with a straight face still call Trump a Christian?

[Opinion Owner]

I don't know if he's a Christian or not. Do you have to be a Christian to sell bibles? The reason I can't take you liberals seriously, is because if Biden was doing it, you wouldn't say shit.

[Asker]

selling them for profit then saying he wants to make American pray again? Why not give them away if that's the goal?
Why lie about the goal? The goal is to raise campaign funds.
Biden would not be so crass. No one does art with Jesus and Biden like Maga does for Trump.
Biden folks don't worship golden idols of Biden like Maga does with Trump

Biden is allowing terrorists in the country and putting them up in hotels. And you don't care. That's why I can't take you people seriously. Bibles? LOL Are you fucking kidding me?

[Asker]

you really believe that, don't you. What terrorists that Biden let in and put up in a hotel have been arrested or even identified? Name names.

[Opinion Owner]

Have you ever watched the news?

[Asker]

yes I do. Maybe you can send me a link from a news site on terrorists being let in and put up in hotels.

[Opinion Owner]

What good would that do? Focus on bibles.

[Asker]

What would Jesus think about a person selling his word to pay for a politcal campaign? I think he's turn over the tables and drive him out of he temple

[Opinion Owner]

You sound like you're 14 years old.

[Asker]

Unlike Trump, I follow the commands of Christ, so bless you.

[Opinion Owner]

Liar.

I don’t understand why anyone would buy a bible these days. You can very easily find free bible files online and print it out.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Haha i hear you, but printing out the whole bible is going to burn through more ink than that 60 at current jacked up prices

[petitedollbabee]

Fair point… time to get a big notepad ready and a pack of pens, and write it all down 😂

[Siri137]

You forgot to mention that the "candidate" who is selling them isn't even a Christian.

[Sasahara]

If people wish to buy the book from him, they are free to do so. Its not illegal to sell books. They have other options to get a bible if they don’t want to pay him.

[Asker]

is there anything a candidate could sell that would seem crass or unseemly to you?

[Sasahara]

Yes there are.
