I got one of them a couple of years ago, one of my VERY religious housemate got very annoyed when I started quoting from it(randomly) in arguements.

Riamfada · 28-03-2006 1:58pm

after a week we will all be walking around here like monks quoting from the things.

'He who without sin cast the first stone'

'By the rivers of babylon where we sat down'

[yes i did learn my bible quotes from popular music...]

Riamfada · 28-03-2006 2:12pm

ill quote from my bible at random

Now when they had left the multitude
they took him along in the boat as he
was and other little boats were also with him

I asked one of them if the New Testament was an improvement on the Old and he just gave me a bemused look!

elmyra · 28-03-2006 2:25pm

I want a bible!!! Nobody gave me a bible!!

*Actually already own bible since world youth day during the summer (yep, religious nut, that's me), but am still a huge fan of freebies...

Dave! · 28-03-2006 2:25pm

Which bloody ott religious nut was handing these out?!

Grimes, why are you in the library when you're only in first year?!?!?! :eek: Why am I doing no work?!?!?!?!??!?!

argh

I have a Bible on my phone, purely cos it's cool

I can choose the book, verse and chapter!!

singingstranger · 28-03-2006 2:26pm

How come you guys get full books this time, and last time when I was around they gave us a postcard to fill our details out to get one?

Of course, you can always order free ones from their same site, http://www.rhemainc.org/... Nice if any of you are in a get-free-samples-sent-to-other-people's-houses war, like I was previously, with a certain Presidential candidate!...

Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools

I'm sooo gonna remember that one and use it

once i was in a band whose lyrics consisted entirely of quotations from one of those bibles. strangely enough i don't think we ever made it outside the practice room - the lad above probably didn't take too kindly to a bunch of atheists and agnostics having the laugh with the divine word..

meowCat · 28-03-2006 4:56pm

I saw them too. Two oldish guys. And everyone tried not to be approached by them.

I felt sorry for them. So, I went and took one. He was genuinely happy when he said "enjoy it".

panda100 · 28-03-2006 5:00pm

Yeah they were sweet and there was no malice intended.At least they werent pushing them in our faces or walking up to people etc

Yaaaay, free bibles. Something to wipe me arse with.

elmyra · 28-03-2006 5:53pm

ah now! if i'd to choose between the bible and su election manifestos i know which i'd be using, and at least the former wasn't shoved in your face

Riamfada · 28-03-2006 6:33pm

at least i have some respect for the bible.

scop · 28-03-2006 6:50pm

One of the few things you can be assured of in life, is that theres very little need to buy a bible because people want you to have it.

He'd probably get a barrage of death threats tbh... Non-Muslims are still subject to Muslim law, y'see!

Free bibles!
