In Sufism we have something called “The Book of the Book”which is a huge book that looks like it’s full of stories and teachings but is mostly blank pages. It’s an illustration of how people mistake the container of something for its contents. I imagine that the real “Trump Bible” should have nothing but a cover and inside not even blank pages but a hollowed out space where one could conceal either a gun or a can of hair spray or spray-on tanning fluid.

Inside the Trump Bible is 90% ads for Trump merch. That's why it keeps getting thicker every year.

Thank you for this! It is likewise true of science: The book has many blank pages and each time we fill one in with new knowledge another blank page is added.

Make that, market that. There are millions of us Christians who could use a little gun safe or journal pages for the duration.

Well, since we know they don't actually read, much less that particular book, they would never find out if that was the case.

Another version could have the pages made of toilet paper, so there could be at least some use made of it.

So you’re Sufi? Do you live in Turkey or do you practice in the U.S. ?
