I'd turn to my memory. Most Christians have the Theology and a lot of passages memorized.

There might be a little ruckes, but not for long. Religion is not a book or a building that can be destroyed. It's a belief, a faith and a feeling inside you, and that can't be wiped away. Think about this. If your family burned all your pictures and destroyed everything you ever created, would you cease to exist to them? You could actually die but will still live on in their hearts.

Funny you mention it, but there will come a day when what you ask about will happen...
One day, one person will arrive on the world scene, eliminate all religion and all worship of any kind throughout the entire planet. Unfortunately, the only form of worship which will be considered 'acceptable' would be to bow before the aforementioned person. You'll know the person, as you will be required to take a mark of loyalty to be able to buy or sell anything.
"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him... And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the number of his name... And his number is Six hundred Sixty Six" - Revelation 13:8, 17, 18

Some fast thinker would write a new Bible or Koran or whatever and make themselves a squillionaire. As we know all too well- humans are complete suckers for this.

It's important to understand the causal forces that create the structure of our societies around the world.
If we except the complete absence of all these texts, then we'd need to accept that laws and mores we inherently accept would be gone too.
And with that, we have a bit of chaos - especially if the technology remains.
Wasteland.

To themselves and experience where they should.
Organized religion only shows that people who share the same beliefs can work well together whether for good or evil. IMHO, people live in a material world and should solve current problems with what we have to work with. Speculating about the supernatural should be a wholly personal hobby.

God writes His law into our hearts so it is instinctive we know what is right and wrong.....It is wrong to murder, steal, lie, sleep with someone elses husband or wife.....without anyone telling you, this would make you feel guilty. Some people are seered in their hearts and become numb to sinning after doing it over and over but they knew it was wrong. God still also gives a desire to know Him so that everyone wants to know how the earth came about and why are they here and to research that they are a created being...God can actually speak to people as well.....Adam walked with God and Abraham never had anything to refer to but what God told Him to do. Right now God has made a way to communicate through His Spirit and has given us the bible. But without it God would make Himself known, Moses and all the Isrealites were shown great miracles to know who God is.

If everyone... and I mean EVERYONE does that then people would start making their own religion... oh wait we have already done that.. We would still turn of course on our beliefs {God} or {opposite of god} or {on nothingness -Atheist-}. Not everyone needs the bible or any other religious text to follow because we already know stuff from the people who taught us our religion.

Then we would finally have peace in the Middle East. We wouldn't be having this religious war going on between Muslims and Christians.

You're intolerant. I'm a Muslim and I don't wanna burn any body's religious book. Besides I don't worship the book, I worship GOD! And did you forget that there are millions (If not billions) of copies of Qur'an, and people who memorized it from cover to cover?
