Can you imagine the reaction if word got out that a president of the United States cut out Bible passages with scissors, glued them onto paper and said, ‘I only believe these parts?’

Jefferson Bible reveals Founding Father’s view of God, faith - Los Angeles Times

I thought the Jefferson Bible was pretty well-known. I know I learned about it no later than middle school. It’s not all that surprising, considering Jefferson was a deist and cut out anything miracle-related.

Or was the question about the reaction to a modern president doing something like this?
