I Have Solved the Single Greatest Moral Dilemma Facing Christians Today

And what is the dilemma you ask? What do you do with an old Bible. For the clutter-bugs among us the answer is simple - set it on a shelf to decompose. Someone always suggests giving them away but what that usually boils down to practically is either A) dropping them off at the Salvation Army collection box or B) giving that old KJV you quite reading because you can't understand it to the youth ministry in your church so it can be "used" by that 13 year old new christian.

Disposal options are a quandary. Throwing it the garbage is just plain wrong. With other respected items sometimes you burn them (like with a flag) but burning can also be considered disrespectful (like with a flag - I've never understood this). I've herd of burying them and having a small ceremony thanking God for all you've learned from them, almost like a funeral. The one that makes the most sense to me but still never seemed quite right was to recycle them, sort of an "at least I'm caring for the creation" type idea.

But here is ultimate answer. It's ministry that collects old and extra Bibles, Sunday School curriculum, commentaries, etc and ships them to Christian workers in third world countries for them to use. Christian Salvage Ministry of Canada can be found here. You just box up your old bibles and mail them off.

Are they useful to the people in third world countries? Don't know.
Can these people even speak english? No idea.
Is this a guilt free way to get rid of old Bibles you never use and wouldn't want to give to a friend or new Christian? Yes it is!!!
