6. We kept my mother in law's bibles, and she had a few.

One sits on the end table, it gets pretty dusty, but is used for reference every now and then. My husband is still waiting for his brother to send him the verses where Jesus preached against the gays so he can look them up...

I don't know why we got the bibles, the rest of the family believes that stuff. Maybe they're hoping we'll catch religion. My husband wants to keep one as a memory of his mother, but the rest we'll send to our nephews and niece. Our kids are non believers.
