I replied to a brother on that substack thingy, who wrote this article:
https://scattershot.substack.com/p/down-on-marking-up
Decided to rescue my comments and post them here also:
I'm coming around to your no-notes rule. Bibles don't last long here, don't wear well, not made to last at all. I've bought some new ones, different versions, recently, and decided not to mark them up. For all the reasons you mentioned, plus some. Am seriously considering a change of version because of changes in the Portuguese NIV (NVI). So I'm at a good place to be reminded of this. Thanks!
Oh, coffee on TWO Bibles? (I hope it wasn't Brazilian coffee ...) Of course, I lost two hard drives back in the day. Sometimes a fellow doesn't learn the first time around. :)

Two Oklahoma board of education members said #RyanWalters was not apologetic after a video of naked women played in his office during a state meeting
by Naomi LaChance, July 26, 2025
"An investigation is underway in Oklahoma after a television screen in the #MAGA state school superintendent’s office reportedly showed a video of nude women during an executive session of the State Board of Education on Thursday.
"The images reportedly appeared on a screen in the office of Ryan Walters, Oklahoma’s far-right Superintendent of Public Instruction. Walters previously told schools to teach #TheBible and #TenCommandments, demanded students watch him pray for Donald Trump, and named #transphobe #ChayaRaichik to a state education committee. He also tried to use state money to purchase #bibles for classrooms that matched the specifics of those marketed by the president and his family.
"As you might expect, Walters has led a crusade against '#pornography' in #SchoolLibraries.
"Two members of the Oklahoma board of education said they were shocked at what they saw on the screen on Thursday.
" 'I was like, ‘Those are naked women,' board member Becky Carson told The Oklahoman. 'And then I was like, ‘No, wait a minute. Those aren’t naked, surely those aren’t naked women. Something is playing a trick on my eye. Maybe they just have on tan body suits. … This is just really bizarre.'
" 'I saw them just walking across the screen, and I’m like, 'no.' I’m sorry I even have to use this language, but I’m like, ‘Those are her nipples.’ And then I’m like, ‘That’s pubic hair.’ What in the world am I watching? I didn’t watch a second longer.' "

New #reporting makes the #Trump-#branded #Bibles #Grift look even more #absurd.
The “God Bless the U.S.A. Bible” are being printed in #China.
— When #Trump #falsely #accused President #JoeBiden of being #compromised by China you have to remember rule 1. Every #Republican #Accusation is an #admission of their own #guilt.

Book #burnings are equal opportunity events. I initially assumed they were God Bless America #Trumpian Bibles. THE new #sacrament.
A burning trailer full of #Bibles was left outside an evangelical #church in #Tennessee on #Easter morning, according to local police, with the church’s far-right #pastor denouncing it as a “100 percent” #deliberate act.

"If they were, they might understand that Donald Trump was doing more than just commodifying a sacred text in the week running up to Easter. He was sending a message to specific followers: I will establish a state religion. Not just any religion, however – the one true religion."
-
"An important detail was lost in the outrage and disgust over Donald Trump’s decision to get into the business of selling bibles. It was overlooked, because few people in mainstream American culture recognize its significance, and they didn’t recognize it, because they were not raised and educated by white conservative Protestants."

"And definitely no need to worry about that Jesus guy, with all his notions about 'loving thy neighbor' and 'welcoming the stranger.' …
It's much easier to beat people down with a book if it's closed."
-
"It's likely a selling point that Trump's version of 'Christianity' is void of faith and morality. His pitch to his followers has a certain appeal: They can have the identity 'Christian,' and all the power that goes with it, minus the parts they don't like. No boring church services or Bible study. No tedious talk about 'compassion' and 'grace,' which only gets in the way of the gay-bashing and racism."
-
"Trump Bibles make a mockery of Christianity — and that's exactly why MAGA will eat them up. Faith without morality or theology, much less that 'soyboy' Jesus? Sign MAGA Republicans up! …
It's time to consider the strong possibility that Trump's disdain towards the practice and theological beliefs of Christianity is not a surprise to his followers."

@realTuckFrumper
If you sum the earnings of the "Digital Trading Cards", the hilarious #GoldenSneakers, the perfume & cologne, and now The #Bibles......it wouldn't pay the judgement on a single one of his crimes.
And that's even if he got to keep 100% of the proceeds... which he doesn't.
These little #grifts are only worthwhile if he plans to stiff everyone he owes and keep all the money for himself (and he'd never do THAT, now would he???) 🤔

Ruth Ben-Ghiat on Trump's blasphemous bible-peddling scam:
"The more his crimes come to light, the more he must surround himself with a halo of purity. It is one of the oldest authoritarian scams, and a mainstay of personality cults."
But these scams work only because there are large numbers of people willing to be scammed when strongmen promise that they can hurt their enemies.
