If I didn't have my Bible, I would still have my belief.

It is highly unlikely that all would abandone their religion.
Some will that is a certainity.
But many people know the bible by heart. I know a lady that pretty much has the bible committed to memory.
So it is in a place you can't get to.
I remember hearing a story about during world war 2.
To find out a true christian and not get turned in and shot they asked them a question.
Repeat Matthew 24; chapter because any true christian would know that chaper by heart.
I thought do I know that chapter by heart?
Then I thought it might be a good idea to memorize it.

The Bible will never be completely done away with. It is God's inspired Word to all of us. 1 Timothy 3:16,17. It has survived for thousands of years passed from one generation to the next.
In the beginning there was no written Word and people spoke the laws of God.

I guess I would be forced to write down from memory the passages I do know. I would also have to pass on that information to my children. I would still remain Christian but would be sad that I was not able to gain new insights into the past and gain more information on who God is. I suppose I could try to rely on other people to inform me of various scripture that I hadn't memorized but it would be difficult because not many people actually memorize scripture anymore.

Easily, as there are lots of religions which don't use the bible. Even if every bible on the planet mysteriously disappeared, believers would reconstruct it. People enjoy their delusions.

Same way it continued before there was a Bible...people would go out and spread the word...the book doesn't make the religion...it's the faith...

the bible does not make me christian. Besides there is enough of it hidden in my heart and memory and in the memory of so many others that it would live on

The Bible is in my heart.

The way they did before the written word. Through stories passed down verbally.

Who wants to burn bibles? It is a good book of myths.
