Hey I wouldn't use the bible as toilet paper! Its a joke. Its a brilliant work of fiction thats why I voted option 1.
I was joking about the rubbish thing. I of course think its more valuable that newspaper. I was saying "IF you want to use it as toilet paper you can vote for option 'pile of rubbish' because that covers that" I myself don't think it should be used as such! I wouldn't do that even to books I disliked deeply! I like the bible as fiction, as tradition etc, but not as truth. It isn't truth. You could blame it for delusions but its faith that cause delusions, if the bible had never existed then 'faith' would probably be put into some other deluded beliefs. For example - and this is just one currently conceivable example of mine - some religions older than the Abrahamic ones would have perhaps not died down and would still be going today and perhaps even developed into something else. I dunno, just one example. There are many - at least currently - inconceivable possible examples I'm sure.
