Don't forget that most people don't read more than a book or two a year
(if that), but that millions world-wide read from the Bible daily or
weekly.

There are a lot of untouched Bibles out there, but it's also got to be
among the _most_ read books today.

Let's not get so caught up in our little liberal humanist worlds that we
forget about that crazy "reality" thing.
