Yeah, $5.99 shipping.
I think everyone should read the Bible at least once, even if you don't think it's important. I was always taught that the Old Testament is a long list of laws God made to show how God made man so they would not be worthy of Heaven, and Heaven is a gift God gives us for accepting His love. And the book seems like bullocks overall because it's not a literal recording of history, but a group of stories to teach us morals and guide our lives.
Something like that.
The Bible key chain disgusts me. Religion is not that smurfing juvenile...

Actually, Christians and Jews believe that the Old Testament really is a literal, factual recording of history. Christians believe that prettymuch the entire Bible is to be understood in a literal sense, save for few select sections such as the Book of Revelations.
And there's quite a bit of argument over the first part of Genesis, naturally, about just how the world was created, and especially how long it took. Some take it literally, and some try to mix modern "scientific beliefs" in with it.
It is free: www.biblegateway.com and a load of other sites.or why not just make the bible free to download, no one would have to pay for paper, ink or anything, and everyone who had a computer, ok now i see the flaw in my plan
That's why I hate the way labels confine us... I'm Christian, and I believe what I previously stated, as do a lot of Christians. The labels "Christian" and "Jew" are far more broad that people tend to believe.Actually, Christians and Jews believe that the Old Testament really is a literal, factual recording of history.

I apologize if you're offended. I didn't mean to imply that people who claim to belong to a certain religion actually believe those religious texts. Oh wait, yeah I did. It isn't a "label" of Christian that "confines" one to believe in the Bible, it's being a Christian.
I'm not offended, I'm just saying that you don't have to believe one specific way to be a Christian. Christian is a fairly broad label that covers lots of denominations. And I do believe in the Bible, just not as a completely literal text. Being Christian just means you believe in Christ.
I do this too, always following it with a gentle, "God bless you" because you know, whether you believe it or not, these people do and they do it out of the kindness in their hearts to pass out bibles, and I think that's what true Christiandom is about. Though... I'm hardly a practicing christian.Wahh... People were passing out free bibles (the mini ones!) on campus one time and EVERYONE was denying/ignoring them. It didn't help that they were really old people who tried to be nice to you so I felt really bad and took at least six of them from different people. They were everywhere, I tell ya
Free stuff is always good. v(^_^)
Soooooo humor me. You believe that everyone is a sinner and the only way to get to heaven is through Christ? Not just believe in Him but believe He is our only salvation?
Thanks for the sig Blitz Ace!
