John Oliver On Trump Signing Bibles:




"John Oliver: Seeing Trump's autograph on a Bible should be like seeing your mom a cover of Penthouse Magazine. It should render the whole thing useless and if you keep reading it, you're going straight to hell. "

dream/nightmare, I wonder why the evangelicals and other rabid Christians aren't pausing to ask themselves "Perhaps Trump is the anti-Christ?" After all, if they read the Book carefully, all the "signs" are there......

But then, I pause to remember that none of those so-called Christians who "worship" Dolt45 tend to follow anything in the new testament, so there's that....

I think it might have been a bit deeper than a "dream."

And when I actually looked at the word “evangelicals”, I noticed “EVIL” hidden in there too.

Just saying...

Jagged, cold, knife-like.

It certainly doesn’t belong on the cover of ANYBODY’S Bible. Looks like desecration to this lifelong Catholic.

Frankly I don’t think ANYBODY should be so presumptuous as to autograph the cover of a Bible. If you absolutely must leave your mark on it, then open it and write a short cordial message on one of the inside front pages - where most thoughtful people do it. Putting your name on the front in those big pitchforky letters in thick black permanent Sharpie ink is - what? A subtle claim of ownership or even feigned authorship?

Hey donald, you already have your damn name all over other stuff - including the front cover of books that you supposedly co-wrote (like “The Art of the Deal” - that was actually written by Tony Schwartz from listening to you blather on at nauseatingly long lengths).

The author’s name goes on the front cover. Or are you sending subtle messaging that YOU had something to do with writing the Bible?

The Christians who own those Bibles asked him to sign them. Why shouldn't he do as they wish?

Someone would have told him about the section in the book he was signing that deals with the fact that walls don't work.

Did Jesus, sell, of was he asked for autographs when he arose from death. Why no images of his autographs? Would his signature be in Hebrew? (Jews will not replace us) And will he do a book signing tour upon his return? Wow talk about a capitalistic home run. He would be financially secure for eternity. Like most books, trumpanzees will rent the movie, not read it.
