What if...tomorrow... ALL the Bibles in the world disappeared?
This should be interesting to see what the opinions are from believers and non-believers alike. ;-)

And by disappeared, I truly mean that they would ALL be gone from existence.

Would this crush your faith?
Would this lift your faith?
ETC ETC ???

Well, if that happened, the Christians would start running around screaming "the end of the world" like chickens with their heads cut off. The Atheists would be relieved. And everyone else would roll their eyes and go on with their lives.

If all the Bibles 'disappeared' tomorrow, I'd have much more room on my bookshelves ... I own seventeen different versions of the Bible. My 'faith' would be the same as it is now ... and I'd wonder if the Bibles hadn't 'disappeared' because they were 'needed elsewhere' or because 'the end' was coming soon ... but it wouldn't change what I do every day ... including praying for people and answering questions in this forum.

First, a great many motel dresser drawers would slide open in the absence of the weight.
Second, The 558th 2nd Baptist Church of Leftovershoe, Oklahoma would ask Brother Billy Bob Joe Rae Jim to record Genesis from memory, Sister Wilma Jean to do the same for Exodus, etc.
In not time at all they've have most of the KJV down on tape.(Of course the Son of Solomon and that other racy stuff might just get skipped.)

What would happen is that people would try to write down what they remembered. After about 100 years, you would have someone trying to put that collection together. After 325 years, you would have some ruler of a country or countries, assemble a lot of the leading scholars, and decide which books to keep and which books were not of "GOD".
Oh wait a minute, they already did that the 1st time.

Sigh. Do you even comprehend something approximately your bible? You do comprehend, do no longer you, that a minimum of 60% of it fairly is shown by employing information to be definitely, thoroughly incorrect. And that approximately 38% of what's nevertheless has no evidence of any variety to coach that that's suitable...and that's purely the relax 2% (that's barely the itemizing of Jewish kings) that has any validity of any variety? i've got have been given added information for you: your "interpretation" that issues happening right this moment "proves" the bible is the same nonsense we've heard from christians for just about 1800 years -- each and each technology grow to be certain that they lived interior the "end situations" and that a similar verses you're analyzing right this moment to be "evidence" have been the sames ones they used for his or her own situations. They have been incorrect, and so are you. we don't "deny" something...there is not any evidence that there is one in each and every of these situation as your god, so there is not any reason to have self assurance in him. Or the contradictory, factually incorrect, superstitious e book his followers use to objective to justify their fantasy. Peace.

It'd certainly start me wondering about how to construct a hypercomputer since such a thing would be near proof that the Church-Turing Thesis was wrong.

That is why we who believe, need to keep God's word written on our hearts....and even God says this in His word....the more we study and memorize scripture, the more stronger we become in the Lord and closer we become with the Lord. His word is powerful and definately is our weapon against the enemy~ To believers:
Psalm 119:11
I have stored up your word in my heart,that I might not sin against you.
1 John 2:14
I write to you, fathers,because you know him who is from the beginning.I write to you, young men,because you are strong,and the word of God abides in you,and you have overcome the evil one.

OMG they'd start writing it from memory. Have you seen some of these people it's like that's all they do with their spare time is memorize every word of the bible to "arm themselves"

I really don't know. I imagine I'd still believe. My faith doesn't come from the Bible, although I consider it a guide.
