jecIIny - Remember that God looks at the heart of a person and their innermost motives.

If I found an old Bible and many pages were missing or torn and it was beyond repair, then it would be OK to dispose of it.

If I, in an act of aggression towards Christianity, tore up a Bible and disposed of it in the parking lot of the local Baptist Church, then my that is different matter all together.

My futile act would be viewed by God and I will answer for actions.

You are correct. Disposing of a Bible that is worn beyond repair is perfectly acceptable provided its done in a respectful manner. The same principal used when burning flags.
