I have a bible.

I think there might be a New Testament in modern English around somewhere. And actually we have, now I think of it, quite a stunning piece of religious artwork, depicting Christ on the cross flanked by two thieves. This is a masterpiece of marquetry, but it is tucked away in a wardrobe (it used to hang in my wife's parents' home). I admire the craftsmanship but detest the symbolism. I don't think my wife really wants to look at it, either.

Ugh. No way!

No crosses or anything like that, though I do have some books on Buddhism, witchcraft, paganism, and satanism. I do wear a pentagram necklace, as a reminder to myself that not everyone deserves my kindness and some of the freeloaders in my life need to be kicked to the curb.

I am Commandant of the local Marine Corps League (MCL) and carry around a lot of their gear. We use the bible to indicate if the meeting is in session or not as part of the tradition and ritual. I am a fan of tradition, and of ritual, as they often bring people together to focus on common goals. Our MCL does not make an issue of you being "of the faith" or of any faith, and it is ok with me to respect the deep beliefs of others as long as they respect mine and do not force their beliefs upon me. They have elected me as their leader, so it does work sometimes. I also have Norse symbols (my heritage), Indian symbols (collectibles), and others. I chose not to "worship" them, as they are just objects.

they are here but not mine

Only in my Art History books.

I do not have any religious symbols in my home, but my wife does. She is a devout Catholic who respects my right to disbelieve.

I haven't owned a bible in 10 years. The whole book is online anyway. Spoiler alert we all die and come back as zombies.

The bible I have was given to me as a gift (hoping to lure me back to religion, I believe). I don't consider it a religious symbol, therefore I answered "NO".

Let me add that it is a pocket bible handed out in WWII to servicemen who wanted one. It belonged to my great uncle Harold and on the first page is a note from him saying if he didn’t survive that the Bible was to go to my late father. My aunt sent it to me so it’s more of a family memento rather than a religious object.

I have a bible in my home. I also have young's analytical concordance to the bible, Josephus the essential writings, the dead sea scriptures (english translation) by Theodore Gaster, Satan Is Alive and Well on Planet Earth by Hal Lindsey and The Buddha and his Teachings by Narada Mahathera. I also have another book of fairy tales called Dianetics by L.Ron Hubbard. In my opinion you can't know about a thing if you don't have the measure of it (including all sides). As a footnote I still have sixty of my college books.

I checked, there is a bible on the bookshelf, my son said he will try and get around to reading it one day, a buddha statue, plaster characters from the TV series "Monkey", some of the armor here has religious type symbols on it, no idea what they are. Best of all, and I suggest you all find a copy and read it is, "Lord of Light" by Roger Zelazny.

My middle child is teetering on the edge of Christianity. He has a couple of bibles in his room. I also have a few of my hubby’s Norse nicknacks.

I have a planter that I got from Beni Hana in Key West shaped like a Buddha. It contained a rum drink when I got it. Does that count? I also have an Aztec carving from Cozumel I bought as a souvenir. No bibles or crosses, though.

Oh god yes. My house is chock full of art of every description. Books on all religions, mythologies, and psychologies, images of deities and demons, the first Bible I was issued by the Baptist church I was raised in, an ancient family Bible with dates of births and marriages, etc., and the last one I was issued by the Mormon Church before I finally got all of that kind of psychosis out of my system (I have a much better kind of psychosis now!) and a cross my closest Christian friend custom made for me from a section of bovine vertebrae…

I think I have an old bible from when I was a kid packed away somewhere.

I have multiple translations of the Bible, a Koran, and Book of Mormon. Reference material, you see.

I have a Bible with my name printed on the cover that I was given 50+ years ago by my father. Like listening to Christmas Church music it is a reminder of someone I loved.

I support my wife my brother... she's still
A believer.

I have no Bibles in my home but I have some earrings that have crosses on them because they were really popular in the 1980s LOL.

I live with my aunt and she's religious so there is lots of religious things.

Oh Crap, I answered NO and then remembered I have a 'stage' shirt that has a drawn symbol of a cross using 2 Fender guitars' with "Rock n Roll Religion" emblazoned on the back. Does that count??

I have my bible and I read it. I happen to know more about it than the average Christian. Nothing wrong with that on the contrary.

Absolutely! Know thy enemy! How can you know all the falsities, lies, and historical mistakes if you don't have access to them? Just reading the opinions of others like Hitchens is not enough, and sometimes I need to check the references of Sam Harris and other faves to understand more deeply. Besides, they're the detritus of old periods of "born againism" which help to remind me not to go to such deep and perhaps outspoken ways of believing or not believing. And they help me come up with my own "proofs"... Like the real number of animals on the Ark was not 2 of every kind. It was different for clean / unclean, and some interpretations (versions) of the Bible are not even clear about that... The words of men are often folly...
