Wow look at you go! You're so kickass. It's edgy, it's in your face, I love it! It's not that you just don't believe in it, you won't even allow one in your house. Rad! 1 King James bible. 1 Quran 1 Book of Mormon 1 Conversations with God ?? Watchtowers There's probably some other religious books I can't think of, most of them are given to me because I express interest in this sort of thing to coworkers and friends. |

This poll is full of fail.
This poll is the equivalent of a poll that asks: “How many rounds of ammo do you have?” And then gives the options: 0-10 11-25 26-49 50-74 75-100 Not including the dozen or so versions on my computer, I have at least 50 bibles in several languages. I do read most of them. Some are so old that I don’t handle them much, simply because they are falling apart. Oh, I am able to assure you, and am proof of the fact, that the number of bibles one owns has no correlation with one's holiness.  |

I was required to have one for a Theology class I took last year.
I decided it was easier to get the Wal-Mart special than to steal one from the local church. Otherwise, my answer would be zero. although..... I'm not sure what I did with it, so the correct answer might still be zero. |

A KJ and a NIV, plus a family bible and at least one of the Gideon NT pocket versions.
Not particularly religious, but I've had reason to research certain passages at one time or another. |

Oh I agree that the number of Bibles you have, does not relate to any Holiness what so ever! WE ARE NOT HOLY!! You don't even Just accept Jesus into your heart. The rest just falls into place. Edited: Grammar |

Bastard!  Just for you, wise_jake, I grabbed it and typed it in for you :Vor Fader, du, som er i Himlene! Helliget vorde dit navn; kommer dit rige; ske din vilje på jorden some den sker i Himmelen; giv os i dag vort daglige brød; og forlad os vor skyld, som også vi forlader vore skyldnere; og led os ikke ind i fristelse; men fri os fra det onde; thi dit er Riget og magten og æren i evighed! Amen. |

I am very anti religious...
But with that being said I do have a couple. They were gifts from relatives. the relatives are gone, but their books remain. So I keep them and think of them. Whether you agree or dont agree with whats in the book its still an important book for western culture. |

I was. I've got something more than seven, but more ascribe to the theory "Fear the man with only one gun - he knows how to use it." ONE well-worn Bible will do ya more good that a bookstore full of new ones. Remember - religion kills - relationship with Jesus Christ brings life. |

You may be "Anti-Religious"! But your still a Christian. In your HEART.....and you know it! Or you would have thrown those Bible's in the garbage long ago. Kind of makes you think that your throwing your life in the garbage at that point doesn't it? That's why you have never let them "Book's" go!

That's SORT OF true, but not really. There IS a THE Bible - its God's Word. God's Words are more expansive than what we call "the Bible." Yet, since God has definitively spoken, what He has spoken to man constitutes "THE Bible." It can be debated what exactly that is, yet it does exist. (For clarities sake, its most widely regarded to be the 66 canonical books of teh Textus REceptus.) The single clearest "Word" of God is the God-man Jesus Christ. Learn of Him - THE Bible is HISstory. |

2 King James`, one is old and was my Grandmothers. I`m still finding places she had marked in it.
1 Self help addition The Oxford campanion to the Bible, and a book of prayers. And this 48 pg. pocket sized book with a few important scriptures and useful information a guy might could use if he found himself in a war. It has a calendar for January to June of 1945. My Grandfather had it with him in Germany during WWII.  |

So you're saying someone with 100 bibles isn't likely to be holier than the next guy? I don't know... |

Simply owning lots of guns doesn't make someone proficient with them. And owning Bible doesn't make one holy. Only God can make men holy. Living in accordance with the Bibles principles is evidence of holiness. |

I would agree with you if we had established that bibles were NOT a talisman against a perceived or actual lack of holiness. Quantity is clearly relevant and crucial with bibles. A bookstore full of them isn't holy... but it's an opportunity for a man who desires a deeper relationship with Christ and has the material means to make it a reality. |

Well, again - it is God that makes men holy. Man CANNOT make himself holy, and therefore the number of Bibles around the house is irrelevant. And a SINGLE well worn Bible is every bit as good as a hundred, since one Bible reveals the God who makes men holy every bit as much as 100 Bibles do. |

The Lord's Prayer, huh? I would've figured it was some kick-ass, kill-'em-all-let-God-sort-'em-out passage (or derivative catechism) that somehow toed in with some "olde worlde" Danish warrior's prayer/mantra. Thanks for taking the time to type it out.

+1 You keep a Websters around when you need to find the definition of a word. And ambiguously you keep "THEM" around. When someday maybe, you may need to look into "THEM", for the definition of your life. My thoughts......
