Hmm do you know the bible inwards and outwards?

I wish I did, but then again I wish the same about almost every book I've ever read. Many post-reformationalist (a very general term, I know) Christians know the Bible by heart. Few Catholics (the faith I was brought up in) do.

And you don't need to read the Bible to know some sections of it well. It's enough if you go to mass - many sections are read out and repeated year after year.

I'd also love to get my hands on the Qu'ran, the Talmud and the other main writings of various religions - I have plenty of commentaries on them, but not the main texts, sadly. And anyone who thinks buying a Bible is a waste of money is very wrong. Even if you don't believe it, it's still an immensly interesting book.  And if you are really cool you can and quote it all day long and people will think you are more intelligent...or a serial killer

Lindsay, it seems your name is Legion.

And I don't think Sam Jackson really quoted the Bible in "Pulp Fiction".

Was given a copy by my grandmother when I was about 8 years old, she wrote in it, so it has sentimental value. Still have it (somewhere!)

Despite my parents best efforts (my Dad was a church organist, my Mum sang in the choir) I turned out to be neither particularly religious nor musical.

Nope, but got a copy of the Koran to see what all the fuss was about.

Yes, I do!

Yes, I own. But I don't like many parts of the Old Testament.

Yes, and I actually read it.... to know what I don't believe in. And it's soooo dumb in some spots it makes me laugh
