Bible Hawking

(Click here)

Every American knows President Biden’s faith. Most Americans believe the choice of faith or no-faith is a privacy issue. Evangelical practice is not practiced by the majority of Americans, yet, they make headlines because money has come to impact politics and power in the USA. The point is persons such as President Biden should feel free to talk about God. Not in excess as there are so many other policy issues that need discussion, but, the political platform currently has a few voices when it comes to religion.

I find that most religious folks have a favorite or family bible. It would be helpful if President Biden and First Lady Jill would balance abusive hawking of the Bible by presenting the affection that exists for personal bibles, family bibles, and the place for the good book in display in a home. 

The Bible has become a political tool rather than a personal choice. It is very, very wrong to blur the line between church and state. It would be helpful if that balance was restored.

As a side note, the Golden Sneaker was one of the items touted by Gorbachev’s glasnost and perestroika. The Russian Golden Sneaker was a huge flop in marketing.
