#TrumpBible

30 Aug 2015

Yesterday my wife, Mary Ann, read me Eric Metaxes’s tweets poking fun at Donald Trump’s refusal or inability to provide his favorite Bible verse. We both had if not exactly a gut-laugh at least a pretty good chuckle. Trump’s comments (or lack thereof) have caused a bit of a stir in Twitter land over the past couple of days. I thought I’d share a couple of links related to #TrumpBible I discovered. Enjoy!

CNN put up this montage of Trump’s quotes on the subject of the Bible and his perspective on religion.

Metaxes’s Facebook page collecting the tweets :o) from his twitter account. Taken together these “verses” paint an interesting picture of The Donald.

A CNN article on the phenomenon.

#TrumpBible The Washington Post thinks are classy.

This post from Erik Raymond on The Gospel Coalition site last month provides an analysis of Trump’s theology. Fortunately, it is far too early in the presidential race to be worried about the possibility of a Trump presidency, but he has illuminated a nasty underbelly of dissatisfaction in the US electorate.
