Should not the Bible be on the lower shelves, thus available to all who wish to read it, and the Koran on the top shelf, out of harms way?

[Quinlad]

Just put them in alphabetical order and see where they end up.

[Verix]

Yes, keep them on the top shelf where children can't reach them. There's worse things in the bible than there are in a nuts magazine!

[Gromit]

Agree with Quinlad

File them alphabetically in the section marked 'Fiction'.

[youngmafbog]

I wonder who would go to a library to read teh bibel.

File them both in the darkest out of the way possible, as gromit says in teh fiction section

[jake-the-peg]

They should both be in fiction under G

Writers and researchers use libraries to read the bible. Libraries often keep various versions and larger print copies.

Perhaps all religious literature should be kept in full view so that people have the opportunity to find out for themselves what hate-filled, superstitious nonsense it contains.

[Quinlad]

I love that theory. All library books should be positioned according to the importance that nation's librarians place on them.

[ummmm]

I think some people will be condemned to hell.

[sn�gs]

^ I think I'm going... I'll be behind you...

[LoftyLottie2]

As per Quinlad, all religious books should be filed alphabetically in the section on religion.

[Booldawg]

I can see hours of entertainment spent at the library moving all the books around; just to wind the muslims up.

[craft1948]

thanks booldawg - am going to the library tomorrow and will now wear running shoes...

As soon as I seen this story in the paper, I KNEW aog would post a question about it. Why do the libraries need to have Bibles anyway? Surely this being a Christian country, folk have their own copies even if they only read it just before they go to church on Sunday. It must be hellish on a Sunday trying to force yir way through the throng as they wend their way to the local service...

I wonder how many Christians on this site could name their local minister?

[Octavius]

I can

[naomi24]

I'm not Christian, but I can. He and his wife are friends of ours.

[rov1200]

I thought the top shelves were reserved for the sexual perverts?

[Octavius]

I wouldn't know rov.

I am always on my knees flicking through the Bible.
