A:

I have seen people do some rotten things in my few short years.  I have seen people do some truly wonderful things.  And I have seen people lead thoroughly humdrum lives, never doing anything too good or too evil and they thought that was all right.

Burning a Bible would not be much of a sin: it is only paper and a little calfskin for a binder.  What is the big deal?

The deal comes in when people forget what was between those calfskin covers.  Burn a million Bibles if you think it will make the Word of God go away, but rest assured, if another Hitler comes along and burns 2.7 million Bibles in Nurnberg as happened in 1937, that would not be so easy to forgive.

As for the six Bibles on my shelves, they will eventually crumble to dust, as will my bones when they stuff me into the crematorium. 

The Bible you keep is the one inside your heart.
