"Bibles are often sold, not given away. So are many other religious items. What is your issue?"

Exactly that. I always imagine Jesus on the Mount (or Buddha's sangha for that matter) behind a fence and apostles collecting the entrance fee, let's see, thirty pieces of silver look just about right. If you cannot see the absurdity of that image and its obvious parallels with the matter at hand, I cannot help you. Then again, only you can help yourself in this regard. But your holier-than-thou condescension with which you try to mask the raw nerve I’ve hit is adorable nonetheless ;P
