I only chucked out a few christian books like "Genesis Flood", and Josh Mcdowells book "Evidence that demands a verdict" (wish I had of kept that one, for fun). And Keith Greens "Last Days Ministries collection".
"Late great planet earth" was chucked out while I was christian. However my bibles still remain, except the few that fell apart from opening and reading too much, they had to go a while ago.
How about you all.

I have kept all of Keith Greens Music, but most other christian music went in the bin.

Kept them as good reference of contradictions and simple stupidity!

No, I kept most of my stuff. I did give away a couple of Bibles, but I've still have about 8 or 9 including the Pentetuech and the Tanakh. I kept my Mcdowells as well (even though I thought he was full of **** even when I was a Christian). I still study the religions attached to the Bible (with the exception of Islam... my interest doesn't run there). But the rest of my books are History and Archeology books.

You and that i've got lots in common. those Christian books impacted me the main: a million. the traditional Christian life (Watchman Nee). If Nee lived interior the 1st century, the Bible could have the e book of Nee fairly of the e book of Romans. Nee does an more suitable job explaining the ideas interior the e book of Romans than Paul does. Nee died in a chinese language detention center in 1972. 2. recovering Your Serve (Chuck Swindoll) a life like thank you to furnish to others, the quantity to which you should do it, and the better purpose of why to do it. 3. The Divine Romance (Gene Edwards) For the huge image. It solutions why God made us. 4. The Grand Inquisitor (Fyodor Dostoevsky) only what grew to become into in those 3 questions the devil tempted Jesus with? it somewhat is possibly the main profound little e book I surely have ever examine. surely, "The Grand Inquisitor" is just one financial ruin interior the better e book "The Brothers Karamazov".

Well, I still have the Bible since it is a family thing. I haven't read it in years. I did read a few of the others that claim to be "scientific", but I am proud to say I got them at the library so my money didn't go to encourage such nonsense. If I had bought them, I might have kept them for a laugh.

I suppose I'm an ex-christian (ex-catholic) but I have a bible and I read it fairly often. It's very interesting. When I hear arguments from Christians about what they think God wants, I find it usefull to look at the Bible and see what it actually says. I find that I usually interpret it differently than them.
I have other religious books on liberal theology.

Gave away the New Testaments and bought several different versions of the Hebrew Bible. They have great commentaries. The Stone edition is the most modern.

I don't have any bibles, but I did steal a friends' copy of Morrison's Scientific Creationism. I thought it would be funny, but it's more of a logical headache. It's still on my shelf though - between Shermer and Harris. Maybe they'll gang up on it one night and I won't have to bother throwing it away.

Why throw em out. All the paper wasted on these damn things you could probably save the rain forests alone. You could recycle them, make great kindling or you could just chuck at the JWs. I hollowed one out, what a pain but worth the effort. At the very least put em in the recycle bin or compost heap

Reading the bible has nothing to do with being christian. therefore I didn't throw out the bible. actually I bought a new one to learn about new translations.

That's a damn good question... and the answer is no - I haven't. I'm still working through that whole "striking the fear of god into you" bit...

I have 2, a big one with the OT & NT; and a little one, that's just NT.
There is some good folk wisdom in them. Other than that, they help pack out my VHS collection.
