The Business of American Christianity (and Disease Control) is Business!

NEW VIDEO: U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman tells me Mideast Peace Plan means, “no retreat by the Jewish state from biblical territory.” @USAmbIsrael adds, “you’re talking about opening up the Bible, bringing it back to life in ways that...couldn’t have even imagined.” pic.twitter.com/9ZsGFrptrJ

A) I have absolutely no idea what he means by bringing the Bible "back to live in ways that....couldn't have even imagined" (and I don't mean the broken syntax of that quote).

B)  I do know what he means by this:

“It’s an opportunity for biblical tourism!”

Which is the very next sentence after the one quoted in the tweet.  Remember when we all said Trump was the one concerned only with transactions and deals and seeing all interactions as matters of commerce?

This one's already been buried by the day's news.  It shouldn't be.  The problem is not just Trump; in fact, what Trump has done is, in part, to make the problem obvious.

What we do about that is, as ever, up to us.
