According to the Associated Press, prisoners of the Jackson County Jail in
Oregon have found a new use for the Bibles that have been given them. This
won't please the Gideons, but the inmates are so desperate to smoke that they
tear out the pages of the Bibles and roll their cigarettes in them. While that
disturbs us, it is not that much worse than having a Bible and never reading
it. Many have it on a bookcase or a coffee table and never try to understand it
or live by its precepts.
