In the relatively few years I have been on this planet I have seen the bible used in many interesting and heretical ways--aside from its main function as a mind control device. My question to you, my fellow infidels, what are some of the most creative and interesting things you or someone you know have used a bible for or subjected a bible to.
It is very fun to make fake flyers for a public Bible burning and put them up all over town and then set back and watch the chaos. But what are some real things people have done, I am interested to know. Let me remind you nothing is too crude or extreme for posting here I hope, so let er rip.

Hello,

Door stopper, paper weight, daily inspiration... err, maybe not the last one.

I'm pretty sure I've never lived in a house that has had a bible in it. Including my parents home while growing up.

In fact, I'd only bother owning one if it happened to be a beautifully illuminated and calligraphic antique. And then I would treat it with tender loving care, as I do my antique lithographed book of Shakespeare's Comedies. The difference, of course, is that with Shakespeare I value the text, as well as the carefully printed art and lovely old binding, as being a part of the treasure.

In my room I have four bibles, and 7 more installed in my PC. And when I get a PDA Handheld, I'm thinking of installing one there,. The relentless destruction of christianity knows no end.

I stole my sister's Bible and use it as a drum pad to practice on!
She hasn't seen it in a while and I think it has a nice feel for a practice pad (hardcover.) I also use it to make my book collection look bigger.

Well, I use one for reference, when I'm looking for creative atrocities, and various abhorrent acts to show to christians

Other than that, some bibles make good backpacking toilet paper.

Occasionally, I kill insects with it (I think it's fitting)

I found those little green bibles that were handed out on campus to be an excellent source of entertainment when I was an undergrad living in the dorms. My neighbors were the co-heads of the local Campus Crusade for Christ, and it was always fun to rip out a page, scrawl a pentagram on it, slide it under their door and wait for the reaction. I do believe that I learned a few new swear words from those godly young men.
