BTW, the Gita is something that would interest me. When I went to a B&B a few years ago, they offered me a Nicholas Stark novel that didn't interest me at all.
II really loathe TV's, but I find they don't bother me when I don't turn them on. Same goes, mutatis mutandis, for Other People's Sacred Writ. Bottom line: act like a grown-up. If you don't want it, leave it be.
I was simply saying what the argument is. I couldn’t care less what books are in my hotel room in whatever drawer I never open. Be it the bible or the Gita or Dianetics.
I was given a new, very nicely bound, hardcover Bhagavad Ghita with beautiful color plates throughout by a woman at a rest stop here in NC years ago. I still have it and have read it. It doesn’t offend me in the least. They appear to have some aspects of truth. I don’t accept it as divinely inspired, though.
I’ve got a Mormon Bible and The Pearl Of Great Price, too. Read it, kept it. Still have it. Helped convert the missionary who gave it to me. The additions and alterations made to the Bible by Joseph Smith are wrong, they’re fairly evidently fanciful and I reject it. Very clearly not divinely inspired. Mormons themselves do not offend me. Fine people for the most part, civic minded, moral. Just misled.
