The Bible and the Trax.
The first time I saw a Bible Traxer I was mildly shocked and very intrigued. I couldn’t help staring. Here was a guy in the middle of a Tram, completely oblivious to the rest of the world, reading the bible.
Reading the bible really isn’t that big a thing. I read genesis when I was younger. I read the abridged version in the religion book so I read it in the bible to get a rounder picture of the story. It was pretty good so I kept going for a while. The deceptively thin pages wore on my patience. I’d read 20 - 30 pages and they would only be a few milimeters thick. I like to see some progress. I had other books that needed reading so read them I did. I know mike read revelations and I do plan to read that as it sounds very entertaining.
So if I’ve read the bible (not all of it) and my brother has read the bible (again not all of it) what was so strange about this.
Maybe it was the underlined paragraphs and little liner notes. I think it got me thinking about a story I heard about an old aquaintance who was known as AAA. AAA was living in Ireland and his mother would send him books. Apparently said books would contain underlined sections and notes in the liner. These notes contained the battiest interpretations that were possible. And AAA loved them.
I wondered if this bible with it’s underlined passages contained the same crazy interpretations. Or maybe the guy was just studying the book to get really good quotes for telling people right before shooting them.
