📖 Poll: Do you own a bible?

Yes I do I have two of them. One is Student bible New English Version I believe and the other one is just an King James Version

The Lad Bible yes.

Yes, a hebrew bible (I’m Jewish).

Hell No!

no
but luckily
some helpful fella or lady posted it on the internet.

Wiccan...so no

Yes. And the Gnostic Bible, the Jefferson Bible, the Koran, the Satanic Bible, the Dhammapada, the Tao Te Ching, the Upanishads, and a couple other religious holy books from various religions.
And I'm an atheist.

EDIT:
Yes, thumbs down for being well read and well educated on religion and being an atheist. At least I know what I'm talking about.

Nope.

yes but need to start reading it more often

Own it and read it.

No I don’t own that trash 🗑

I used to, back when I believed in religious fairytales.

But since I'm an adult now, I don't. I gave it away to my rather religious neighbor.

NO. I refuse to ever own one. Why? Because I’m an atheist and I don’t want a Bible in my home.

Yes, several, including a Hebrew Bible & a Septuagint (early Greek translation).

Yes

nope I need to get a new one though.

Several. I need those to remind myself just how repulsive the christian god is.

You'll know what I'm talking about if you've read the old testament.

No sane person owns a Bible.

I do, and I have read it.

Yep.

Yes, but I am NO Christian. Odds are I know more about it then most Christians.

Yes, I do...

Yeah. It has provided very little refuge, but I've owned a Bible all my life in one version or another.

My verbally-abusive mom is obsessed with it.

Contrasts.

Even a TV has the option.

Shan't be perceived as a complete contradiction.

It's everywhere, so...

no i m not christian

yes two one a pagan Roman Catholic and a real KJV

Y
E
S :) I should read it though.

nope

Yes, I own several copies of the bible.

Yes A Large Print Bible

It makes really good toilet paper.

Yeah to wipe my *** with it.

nope

Absolutely.

Anyone with possession of a bible should spend some time in prison

No, thank god!

Not since I was a kid...

Ask FIREBALL

~Aizen

I have a modern Bible, but the language is a bit boring; give me a King James Bible anyday. Also have a copy of the Koran.
Every one should own a Bible, complete works of Shakespeare, An encyclopaedia, An Atlas, and some local road maps....

I do.

Surely.

Yes but I never read it.

No because religion is overrated, and is the cause of far too many of Earth's problems over the years.

No, I don't

I have one or two lying around, not that I subscribe to it. They're everywhere even every hotel room. Just part of the furniture...

IIE mean NO at Japan, 99.54% of people of Japan not believe Bible. Never have good reason own a Bible.

My parents gave me one when I was a child, but I threw it away when I left their home. I have no use for it now.

NEVER

Yes! Even though I'm not a Christian

Well of course!!

There's one in my house but I don't own it.

Yes. A few of them actually.

Several, yes.

Yes.

I have an old RSV my grandma gave me in 1968, a newer KJV I use all the time, a small one in my motorcycle the CMA gave me. Plus the old family KJV from 1920.

I have read it 4 times; on my fifth.

I was given a free Gideon’s pocket-sized Bible at school.

Like most of the other boys there I loved it as I quickly found that it made excellent cigarette rolling paper, and if you chewed the paper and spat it out through a straw it stuck to the walls and ceilings very nicely.

I did try reading it, but it was tedious and contradictory nonsense.

Someone later thought it was a good idea to give me a copy of The Amplified Bible whilst we we on a school camping trip. The paper it was printed on was fairly soft and absorbent, so when almost all 60 of us ended up with the squits with only three chemical toilets available, that Bible granted me the independence to run into the woods and be confident of having suitable paper to wipe with. Thank you Zod. Or whatever they call you...

I threw it away

Yes, both paper and electronic. I don't really need to use them much, though, as there are sites like biblegateway where you can look up anything now.

No.

Yes. But it was given to me as a gift by a former coworker who was a devout Christian after I had attempted suicide last year. I'm an Athiest, though.

Toilet paper.

nope

yes, i do in my room :) .

i have a secret place... my dresser with mirror ;) .

Every one should own a Bible, regardless of their beliefs. It is the most important piece of writing ever produced, especially in the western world, (although we do not own it). It has had more influence of the modern world than any other single thing, and the effect is magnified by the fact most other influential documents (outside of Asia), from the Magna Carta to the Koran are based in whole or in part on ideas from The Bible. Even psychological fields owe a debt of gratitude to The Bible, and the hard sciences as well. I could go on and on... and I'll be glad to defend or ellaborate on any of these points if anyone wishes.

No,
five countries where owning a Bible is dangerous:
North Korea
Somalia
Maldives
Morocco
Libya
Uzbekistan

There is one in my house from when I was given it at school, but it is never used!

I actually went to go look up something in the Bible the other day and realized I don’t have one. I should though Incase I ever need to swear on the Bible..

Yes, I’ve had it since my baptism.

Yes, it was given to me by a pastor. I plan to hold on to it as long as I can

I have access to the Bible online.

No, I stopped reading fairy tales somewhere around gr. 1.

I own a few, but in this age of cellphones and tablets, there are free apps that have all versions of the Bible. There’s really no reason for me to spend money on a Bible when there are free apps.

I lost it a long time ago, my wife owns on.

I own one and we have a family bible.

I do indeed

No but I have read most of it.

Yes about 3

Yes we own a bible and once I borrowed one old legible old Testament of Bible and read only a few pages and presto like Mahatma Buddha the key to life or my consciousness started to glow like a diamond and I realised the meaning of life and what is my goal or God or a fault and I closed the Bible and made my own principle of life and existence.

yes, I use KJV and I also have 1 on my phone

My mum owns a few. I have a children's Bible from when I was christened over ten years ago. I keep that in my wardrobe.

As a kid the church I went too gave me one.
It even had my name on the front. don't know what happen to it

I pick up a couple years back when I started going back to Church

No

Yes, I own two Bibles. One is the nominal "family Bible" and the other is one I was given as a Sunday School gift from my church when I was in the second grade.

Although I am spiritual, I am not religious, and I regard the Bible as a book a parables and not the so-called Word of God. However, I respect the beliefs of those who do incorporate the Bible into their religion. So let me clue you in on something here: It's a common courtesy to capitalize the Bible when write about it. Even many "Bible-fearing Christians" don't seem to know this.

I have a bible, but I do not own it,

nope but my grandpa did

Yes.

Yes yes I do

Yes, my favorite is one that my Sunday School class gave me. It is 40 years old. I have two others that are like new.

Two, three if you count the mini Gideon's Bible that has a little more than the New Testament. The one I use the most, though, is a New King James Version. My favorite verse is Matthew 25:35-46. It gives me hope.

I own a Jewish Bible

Yes, I do.

three, actually. Plus one as an ebook (pdf). Different versions, one was mine from when I was a child (got at Sunday School), one was a gift with my name embossed on it (from my religious brother after he found Jesus again), and one I picked up somewhere over the years. Every once in a while I will read some section or other that came up in a discussion somewhere. I like to go to the source when I disagree with someone. I don't usually bring up the bible as proof of anything, ever. I do like to refute claims by referring to what is actually there, though. And some parts are actually interesting reading of themselves, just because.

Yes

A few. My favorite is my 1977 NASB.

Yes, I owned the original, written by God himself, you have no idea how much people tried to kill me over the years to own it, and I mean ppl who know how, then I burned it and I felt safer, although I still feel someone watching me.

Yes I think it is up in the attic

Yes, along with a Torah, Qu'ran, The Book of Mormon, The Karma Sutra and many, many more.

Always 👍!!!!!!.......

I don’t have a bible but I got a gift from a dear friend that has some bible verses in it

Since I'm Jewish I have the Jewish version, the Tanakh. It is mostly what the Christians refer to as the Old Testament, but with a few differences in content and a lot of differences in order.

No.
I only read non fiction
