I’m in jail 8 hours a day, 5 days a week sometimes more if something breaks.
I have absolutely zero interest in some “magic” book about a megalomaniacal sky daddy.
Fuck off with that.
What would jail have to do with it?
You know you can just go to a library, right? (You don’t need to be in jail, buddy)
I’d probably just stay pagan
I dunno, I think weed is too hard to get in jail, and bibles as rolling papers aren’t as good as people think
Plenty of other works of fiction in the prison library. No need to read any religious book.
Are those my only choices? There are no other books than the bible or "other religions "?
Didnt read it before jail, didnt read it in jail, not gonna read it after jail.
Read a bunch of other books tho.
I’d probably expand to the bhagavad gita or something. The bible is kind of boring tbh.
bible. ewwww. definately would go with lord of the rings if im limited on what fantasy stories I could read.
I probably would have zero interest in either unless I was bored to death and those were the only reading available
Wassup with the down voting??
Obvious troll is obvious
The question itself is fine but the presumption in the question that there exists no people with different faith or opinion, or that they are not worth asking rubbed me the wrong way.
I did not vote, but the premise that I would read any religious text when I’m in jail is prepostorous.
it turns out “nostupidquestion” for some people means “do not post stupid questions” instead of “there are no stupid questions”.
I up voted, because I still believe the second meaning is correct and people shouldn’t worry about posting questions here.
But I have to admit, I see absolutely no relation between the “if” part and the “would you” part of this question, which makes it really weird for me.
When a question tries to make you swallow a bullshit payload, if feels like a manipulative question rather than a stupid one.
This post implies that the obvious norms are:
- you already are reading the bible and believe in it
- you would want to read it in prison, and could
- the only alternative is to go into other religious books and religions
If someone asks “are black people the only inferior ones, or is it the case for asian people too?” it’s not a stupid question, it’s not even a question, it’s an attack. And while there is more room for doubt in the question of the post, it is still loaded with religious propaganda which is shitty as fuck.
Also the assumption that people would “stick with the Bible” ignores the “dozens” of people in the world who were not Christians to begin with… They might be a bit upset about that.
It makes me wonder if OP is from somewhere where only religious texts are available in prison
I didn’t even know there were places like that… Let me guess, USA?
A US state is currently trying to restrict what books a prisoner can have. Hasn’t passed yet, as far as I know, but I’m guessing that’s the genesis of this particular dubious question.
I would stick with the Bible and read more about Buddhism.
Is this community about proving its name wrong?
Don is out here pushing the limits every single day
I happen to be in jail just now, so I can consider myself a bid of an expert on this dopic. I’ve noticed that the paper of the quaran is rougher than the average bible paper, so the answer should be clear.
Why would i read a religious text if i had access to an actual library?
Get the biggest one for emergency toilet paper.
FYSA, pre-crumpling the pages multiple times will loosen the paper fibers; makes it softer
