When your Bible is taken away you wont be able to learn more but the knowledge you already have sticks with you. I would hide my bible in my personal belongings because thats where the government cant get into legaly. I'm not worried about that but what I am worried about it when the Bibles are banned, what will happen to the people who have never read the the word of God? Who will teach them? Maybe thats God's purpose for me. Praise the Lord!

It does not worry me. We live in a free country where there is a separation between church and state. But think of this: Bibles used to not be distributed to the public. Only sacred temples could have a copy of a bible. People still made it through and maintained their faith in God then. If you do not know the word that God left on this earth ask yourself what God is trying to tell you. (Hint hint: study the word of God now that you are able to)

You'll notice that books mainly tend to be banned in heavily religious societies. For example, half of the Muslim world has banned "The Satanic Verses" at some point.
As the world becomes more secular, owning a Bible will not become harder unless interest dies out to the point where fewer get printed.

No, it doesn't worry me, I'm not saying it's not impossible. If we look through history there have been many cultures who have been forbidden to practice their religion, including the Irish (Penal Laws). It didn't stop them though, they continued to pray, they continued to have faith in the Almighty. Priests were hung for saying Mass. But in reality any truly spiritual person does not need a book, to tell them how to live. It is a way of life, it is deeply embedded in their heart mind and soul. The Bible is important but I have what I need in my personal relationship with God.

It is such a privilage to learn God's Word, and this way we keep it hid in our hearts. This gives the Holy Spirit opportuntiy to speak with us through the Scripture we have learnt.
It's a discipline to learn, but your so right, one day we might not have the written Word in black and white, so why not take the opportunity now, to begin learning passages of God's Word.

Christians are the only group (religious or not) that already has had freedom of speech imposed.They need to accept Jesus as Savior and have a desire for the true word of God.

There is no way in this world that that would ever happen
(at least not in the countries that have religious freedom)
So don't worry, if that ever happens in some 3rd world country just move to a free country.

As an Atheist, I'm compelled (and a bit baffled) by your argument that somehow the bible will be censored. Freedom of religion is part of what America is about-why do you think it will become taboo to have one?

In no reality I'm aware of in this world that it'll become forbidden to have a Bible... put away the impending persecution complex.

This fear is the exact reason why the fundamentalists have become so political. Believe me, teaching evolution in school will never turn into outlawing Bibles.
