I don't know why we still bother to print Bibles. There must be more copies of the Bible out there than any other literary work in human history, anyone who wants one can easily get one - a physical copy, to say nothing of, you know, the nigh infinite digital versions online. Making no religious statement here one way or another, there surely has to be a saturation point beyond which killing trees to print Scripture is just generating waste for a landfill.
That's true for a lot of stuff. We never need to print another American flag again. So then what, we make it illegal to print Bibles and flags?
I just said I thought it was a waste of time and effort to keep printing Bibles in a country where Christianity is already culturally and politically omnipresent. I never said anything about making anything illegal.
You said we don't know why we bother.. I figured you meant we should stop. The literal answer to that is we keep printing them because people keep buying them
