I do believe that I learned a few new swear words from those godly young men.

Great ideas everyone, keep em coming!!!
That reminds me of something I used to do in a similar vein. I would rip the pages out and write Lies, Guilt and other such things and leave them in all the urinals and toilets, unflushed of course, of bathrooms around campus.
I also liked the toilet paper idea, beats the heck out of stealing a leaf from a tree. I have also seen the opening blank pages used for rolling home-made cigarrettes( it was tobacco I swear).
Used as tinder to start campfires, grills or fireplaces...

I've got a Bible on my bookshelf, but it's a nice leather-bound Victorian job with neatly illustrated maps of "The Holy Land" and "Analytical" sections after each chapter, which are sometimes hilariously funny (especially Genesis).

In all honesty, I used to skim it when I was a Catholic; it was only when I became an atheist that I really started to dive into it, and then I couldn't believe that I hadn't deconverted sooner (something I've heard from a lot of other atheists).

Pocket-sized Gideon Bibles are like Swiss Army Knives of creative blasphemy, as I found when I began tearing pages out, highlighting occasional words to spell out satirical or offensive sentiments and leaving them around my school.

The really big ones could be used to prop up a table leg or as a booster seat for small children who don't want to sit in a highchair!

If you've got several large ones, they could act as a small ottoman.

Nice one missus.

I cured a ganglion (a kind of cyst) on the top of my foot when I was a child by smashing it with the bible. It hurt but it never came back.

The pages make pretty fair cigarette papers.

I used to use my sister's to prop open the window in my room, but she found out when she needed it for school and it was squished and ripped. I'm not allowed near any of her stuff now.
