If any other presidential candidate put something like this out, their campaign would be over. Sometimes I wish there _was_ a old testament god so he could do some smiting.

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > Probably got a huge discount for the very reason that you stated, namely, that people like a modern language version better. These were probably stacked up in a warehouse someplace because they weren’t selling. Haven’t seen this posted anywhere else and this seemed the most appropriate thread for it. A lot of people seem to be curious about where these bibles are coming from and how this deal came together. I went looking for more information this morning and found the below article. The upshot of the article seems to be that this Bible was originally supposed to be printed in 2021 by Greenwood himself. Apparently the deal fell through with Harpercollins and was supposed to use the NIV translation. Which apparently Harper Collins owns if I’m reading the article correctly. The reason for the fallout is currently unknown. What I also found interesting is that no one seems to know exactly who’s printing these books now. There’s no publisher on record according to the news article and no one has come forward to say how this is being done. Or who’s footing the bill, cuz God knows it ain’t Trump. > **[What is the 'God Bless the USA Bible'?

At some point there is going to be a New Improved MAGAt Bible. The parts about the sermon on the mount, turning the other cheek, good samaritan and the other Woke parts will be removed, and there will be a part where Jesus preaches about the 2nd amendment. Plus a whole new Book of Trump, where he is anointed by God.
