What are the odds on the Bible bursting into flames

when the oath of office is administered today? I'm not a gambler but that seems like it would be a reasonable bet to me.

While I don't believe in wish granting sky fairies, if this were to actually happen, I'd definitely reconsider my beliefs.

The one his mother gave him as a child over 60 years ago...with no creases or messed up pages that he showed during the election... Probably a bible cover on one of those books he "wrote".
