In case you missed it, the hashtag #TrumpBible<\/a> has been trending on Twitter. Several questions about the Bible have been addressed to Donald Trump<\/a> lately, and several answers he has given suggest that he is \u2013 how shall we put it \u2013 not very familiar with the contents of that famous collection of books. Trump said \u201c The Bible means a lot to me, but I don\u2019t want to get into specifics<\/a>.\u201d\u00a0The hashtag #TrumpBible is exploring the Bible as Trump might imagine it to be \u2013 or the Bible as it might be if he wrote it himself.<\/p>\n
