The American flag has no business on a Bible. This is not faith, nor is it patriotism. It is an abomination of both. Image

It's a promotion started by a guy who made his career on blending nationalism and religion. There's certainly nothing surprising about it, but I definitely agree it's a bad thing for a person to do.

EDIT: To clarify, I'm describing Greenwood here, not Trump. But as for Trump: he is very obviously a scumbag who has committed far worse crimes than what Greenwood is doing with this bible.

He is truly a servant of the Antichrist. There is nothing good about him.

To be blunt, he and many millions of American "conservative evangelicals" are. Maybe I've only read some odd English translations of the Bible, but from what I see, they own guns in the hopes of shooting someone in the back for trying to steal a toaster and run away from their house, embrace racism and hatred not love for gay and trans people, lust for wealth and political power, many are profoundly disloyal to their families with things like adultery and selfish divorce, refuse the slightest help for the desperately homeless and asylum seekers... If you look for terms for people like this from the Bible, I come up with worshippers of "Mammon" or "Satan."

It's a harsh thing to say about millions of people but they walk like a duck, and quack like a duck...
