I'm not trying to be confronational here. I was simply curious. I don't need to know what your beliefs are or if you read it or not. I was thinking of my mothers generation and how most of them had a Bible in the household. Then I was thinking how I don't and should my child show a curiosity, I might want to have one for her to read. I am curious to know if not having a Bible in my house makes me a minority or majority? Also curious to know if yearly household income has any realtion to Bible or no Bible, so feel free to include that number if you want to.... Thanks for info.

Yes I have a several different Christian bibles. I also have Bibles of other Religions for the same feat you wonder about. I want my child (when i have one) to know of every religion that is out there, so I do not predestin them to having to be Forced to choose one that i or my husband rendered.
Again, I know you only asked if we had a bible or not, I just wanted to comment that I did and with others for the same purpose you ask)

I think you are in a minority since you do not have one in your home. I don't believe there is any relation between income and the Bible. I know people with bibles in their home that make a lot of money and other that do not make much money.

I don't have any Bibles in the house. When I was growing up, my parents also didn't have a Bible. My current family income is $110K+ and my parents were middle class.

Actually I have two bibles in my home. One is the old and new testament, the second is the Gnostic bible which inclused the testaments that were not included originally.

I have two parallel Bibles, each with 4 translations. Then I think I have three regular Bibles.

We have bibles too with different versions..NIV is the one that I use the most... We have extras too, just incase someone comes and accept Jesus and wants to know about GOD's word..
We have different spiritual gifts and preaching is not for me.. but if you ask more about Jesus I do share...
