The idea is that I line the bible with certain chemicals. I would make sure the bible is in a place where a lot of people would be watching me and when I'm finally told to get the bible, they see me reach for it and when my hands come into contact with the book, it lights on fire.
I have no idea how to accomplish this, but it's so epic that if I had a chance to accomplish this I couldn't pass it up. I'm also certain that some method using a book box or other hidden devices would work just as well.
So...
If you want to make the bible explode (catch on fire) on contact use a flash powder on the pages you are going to touch, use one thats not too sensitive. Then you can slam your hands on the page and ignite the powder. You should look for a low temperature flash powder, and then for added safety you might consider some kind of fire retardant on your hands. In fact, for safety, don't do this at all. If you choose the wrong powder you could blow off your hand or go blind.
A simple way would be to cover the bible in the same stuff they cover match heads in, phosphorous powder, and then scratch the cover with your nail when you grab it, again I'm not sure what you are planning on doing with a burning bible in your hands, but there ya go.
My religion is the understanding of my world. My god is the energy that underlies it all. My worship is my constant endeavor to unravel the mysteries of my religion.
