Everybody and their grandmother mentioned in the Biblical genealogy of Two Corinithians has by now heard of Trump Autographing Bibles for Alabama tornado victims.
This:
is yet another reason this leftist, contra Arlie Russell Hochschild and fellow librulz, doesn't do "listening tours."President Trump is signing bibles for volunteers and survivors at a Baptist church in Alabama. pic.twitter.com/9b8VfyZiKF— Josh Dawsey (@jdawsey1) March 8, 2019
And actually, Trump autographing bibles (did he sign the first page of "Two Corinthians"? did he get his "cracker" [of the many crackers there]?) is only half as vulgar and one quarter as irreligious as the people who asked him for the autographs.
And, it's not just "the left" calling Trump out, contra fellow travelers at Red State:
I don’t know who it is a worse commentary on: Trump actually signing Bibles in Alabama, or the people asking him to sign a Bible. Lordy Moses.— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) March 8, 2019
That said, if Obama also did it, even for MLK's family, it's still theologically grotesque in my corner of the world.
But, that's Merikan Xianity, especially Southern style, in my corner of the world.
And, having grown up Lutheran, not Baptist or Church of Christ, even before becoming a secularist, it's not really "my corner of the world"; I just live here.

And, if the "Mammon" of which Jesus warned includes fame as well as money, this secularist, looking from the outside, says it is un-christian. It's also halfway to being a success gospel.
I have little doubt that Episcopalians and Catholics, as well as Lutherans, north or south, would look askance.
