Prominent conservative intellectual Erick Erickson spoke of concern about President Donald Trump autographing the Bible, noting a difference in signing a Bible and autographing one.

“If you give someone a Bible as a gift, write a note, sign it, whatever,” tweeted Erickson on Saturday, getting more than 1,600 likes.

“But getting people to autograph books they didn’t write strikes me as poor form. And autographing a Bible strikes me as assigning it an importance that distracts from it being the word of God.”
