Is the Bible a force field ?

Question

I read in a book that if you're being attacked and you hold up a Bible, the attacker will not continue with his attack.

Answer 1

Why don't you test this Protective Bible hypothesis?

Go to the nearest crime infested neighborhood at midnight and flaunt a wad of cash. Look like you're lost and be sure to announce yourself verbally. If the criminals are on their job, you should be the target of a mugging or robbery. And when that happens, hold up your Bible and see what happens.

Disclaimer: Antihero is not responsible for your pain and suffering or financial losses, due to medical bills, lost wages, theft or funeral expenses, should you be beaten, stabbed, shot or otherwise violently assaulted.

Answer 2

No..just a book...like History Book

Answer 3

The attacker is probably thinking, "Is he really trying to ward me off with a book? He must be hiding something." It's either that or it's the realization that you're attacking a complete moron with no real defense and you feel sorry for him.

It probably doesn't work much, though, any more than pointing to your face and yelling, "You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses would you?" works, or falling into the fetal position and repeating "Please don't hurt me please don't hurt me please don't hurt me".

Answer 4

Would you like to test that theory out?

Answer 5

There are thousands of dead missionaries that found out that that is an urban myth

Answer 6

It's more like a spiritual guide gone horribly, horribly wrong.

Answer 7

Lol.....I think you should test that theory out.

Answer 8

Don't count on it
