Myself - I have never been a Bible collector. I do know two people that
have an extraordinary collection though. I don't understand the thinking

either.


A bible makes a great survival supply of thin paper
to use as tinder in fire starting.
I use to slip one in the backpack when I went hiking for just such
application.


You dislike the Bible so much that you are willing too make up a
ludicrous lie in hopes that someone is dumb enough to believe you?
Surely you jest. Just on the outside chance....oh never mind....I know
you're lying...lol.

The pages of a Bible are wayyyy too thin and would be the last type of
firestarter to use. If someone if going to take up all that room in
their pack to place a Bible (of all things) for tinder...lol...they
would have to be borderline mentally challenged IMO. Why carry all
that weight and take up pack space when you could carry a little tin
packed with cotton balls coated in petroleum jelly? You I guess? ;-P
