So I was at a cultural fair over the weekend, and there was a Muslim outreach booth giving away free English language translated copies of the Quran. This is one of several ancient books that have had a profound impact on human culture and history that I've wanted to get around to reading eventually, so I took a copy.
That got me thinking: I wonder what other religious texts I could get for free.
I figure I can steal the Bible the next time I stay at a hotel. I considered doing that in the past, but I figured the hotel wouldn't want me to. I've since found out that the people who place the Bibles there (the Gideons) really do want people to take them home and read them, so I may as well do it.
I've also heard that Mormons are constantly giving out free copies of the Book of Mormon. I wouldn't expect to get Scientology texts for free - I've heard they charge for everything, even to their own members.
