I hate it when people give me bibles for presents or when people hand out free pocket Bibles.
Because when it comes time for spring cleaning, how am I supposed to get rid of those extra Bibles. I always go back and forth on whether or not I can throw away a Bible. I am a very superstitious person. I don’t know exactly what happens to someone who throws away a Bible, but I’m pretty sure it isn’t good. I think that God would be angry if he knew that I threw away an extra Bible, when I didn’t throw away Jesse Ventura’s autobiography I Ain’t Got Time To Bleed, an empty box of Wheat Thins, and a three year old cat calendar.
Recycling a Bible is no better than throwing it away. If I recycle a Bible what is to stop it from becoming a pink slip or a dirty magazine printed on post consumer recycled paper. That is why I prefer throwing away extra Bibles to recycling extra bibles. Throwing away a bible is like unceremoniously burying the bible. If you bury it, you are sure that the body will be able to rest in peace and not become some environmentally friendly warped Frankenstein.
I can’t give my extra Bibles to one of my friends either. That would be putting them in the same situation I am in right now. I am not going to trade wrath from God for wrath from karma.
