Recycling bibles.

[OldGit]

I would always keep a copy of the AV (King James) version for the sheer beauty of the language.  Also the Anglican Prayer-Book.  As an atheistic linguist I wouldn't be without my Luther Bible and my Vulgate, for reference in historical and linguistic study, as well as in arguing with christians.

Mind you, you can manage with just the net these days, but I like to have the real books by me.

What to do with the surplus?  Well, in my home we cook on a Rayburn solid-fuel stove which burns books well, though the ash is a nuisance.

I still have my very first KJV, I'm not parting with it either, holds too much sentimental value.  And the only trophy I ever won was for the "study to show thyself approved" lesson where I had to memorize 300 some odd verses and recite them all at once in front of the church.  That I will be keeping.

I have KJV that my grandmother gave me and one of my great-grandmothers left me her rosary. I no longer believe, but I keep those things to remind me of the people who gave them to me.

My sister has a friend in college who never turns down a Gideon Bible.  She says they make great rolling paper.  

I knew I'd learn some cool shit on this forum

Had a bible as a kid. One time- back in the day- decided just to throw it in the trash cause I figured it was useless and I was moving. No use keeping shit that isn't worth keeping.

I have unintentionally burned a bible.  One afternoon not long after I had become an atheist, my brother started burning some trash.  He asked me if I had some.  I told him I had some empty boxes that could be burned.  I had forgotten the bible was in one of them until I was it burning in the fire.

Ah ha! perhaps you miss it more than you think, an insidious book indeed.
