No, it's an insulting question. It is predicated on the belief that Catholics don't regard the Bible as the Greatest Book Ever Written.
If I asked you, with all seriousness, if you would rather, if you could have only one, give up your horse or Mack, would you find it insulting?
What if I asked Mack if he would rather have his remote control or you? If I was asking in all seriousness and had no idea of what your answer would be.

Glad to hear this Dave.

Actually being asked this by someone who knows Mack would not surprise me:) I could see where a question might arise.

Dave, I remember reading some years ago (I think it may have been in Catholic Answer's This Rock magazine) a Catholic author say that, given this precise circumstance, he would choose the catechism. His reasoning was that the Catechism quotes a great deal of scripture, and that Catholicism could more easily be reconstituted from the catechism than directly from scripture. Obviously this was only his personal opinion, but it does lend some validity to Reggie's question.
What if I asked Mack if he would rather have his remote control or you?
Not a fair question, Dave. Without Becky, Mack wouldn't know how to operate the remote control. ;o)
