    You're likely to get a couple of missionaries knocking on your door - or possibly two members from your nearest branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (they always go out in pairs...). Shouldn't be a problem if you only want to read the book and don't want to invite them in to discuss it - although they will ask if they can discuss it with you - some will be a little more persuasive than others.

    Frankly, none of these posts relate to moneysaving matters unless you are thinking of saving your money and donating it to bronze age biblical myth believers or nutcases from the Mormons.

    Is that offensive? I hope so. Lets keep this site nice and secular please, we dont need nutcase bible thumpers being given a further opportunity to preach their unique brand of hate and servility to vulnerable people.

    Look for videos and interviews with Christopher Hitchens and Richard Dawkins if you are still wavering about this nonsense.

    No more god bothering please.
    :o Keep trying.........................what else is there to do? :o

    Whilst I could report this post, it's simple thing: We're one of the few religions that isn't interested in acquiring members from other faiths. If you're Jewish, you might get religious books given to you as part of membership of various groups.

    The only reason that you can get free bibles/Korans is that they're marketing material.

    Very true.

    Judaism isn't a faith but an ethnicity. You might convert to Christianity, Buddhism, 7th Day Advent Hoppism or whatever - but you'd remain Jewish.

    That's why a Jewish State is axiomatically an exercise in ethnic apaartheid...

    Shut up you moron. Judaism is the only Abrahamic faith that ISN'T proselitizing. Whats the point of making stupid comments like that? Its because of idiots like you that hatred continues to be perpetuated in this world.

    Free online Bible in modern English.
    http://www.watchtower.org/e/publications/index.htm

    Other publications listed, e.g. Bible Story book, Questions You People Ask, What Does the Bible Really Teach? can be obtained for free by finding your local address at the bottom of the page.


    With a loving heart to all of you :D, I'm just gonna point out (just in case this isn't clear) that this 'translation'/version or whatever you want to call it is the one that Jehovah's Witnesses use. Ie. It's not a mainstream Christian version...
    :A

    I've picked up many of their publications hassle free in charity shops for a song. :)

    Meanwhile I've found a free Buddhist book site:

    The book most would be after is The Dhammapada
