Most of the books int eh world ar a lot better written...

You can take it and thank them. But seriously, if you need comfort the bible is NOT the book to read. people are constantly robbing, beating and killing each other. It's a horror show. Don't tell them that tho. Touchy subject and what not

" I prefer national geographic" wouldn't go down too well unless she was thinking of boring you to sleep. [ pretty hard reading to say the least]

Thanks but no thanks. In truth I have a small book shelf with every kind of bible on it that you can think of. It has some study books and courses also. I know what is inside it but I just don't buybull anymore.

Can't blame them. You are in a church. Agree with @Dwight

“No thanks I already hv books at home”. Hahahahaha

I would take it and then put it in recycling. One more gone.

those flimsy sheets make good rolling papers in a pinch!!

If you had read it before, I would say politely refuse. BUT if you don't already have a copy, it is known as "The Atheist's Handbook" for a reason. Every atheist ought to have one, just for laughs if nothing else. BTW, most christians have not opened one in their life either. They just take their preacher's word for what it says.

Thank them and use it as a resource to show just how wrong a belief in God is.

I would turn it down.
