Alright, so I thought I would share my latest obsession... books with rich leatherbound covers.
Journals.. Bibles.. Christian books. I love them. I love how they look. How they feel. I use the fact that I really like the look and feel of a book to coerce me into buying it. (Which I suppose isn't TERRIBLE when I'm buying books about faith..)
I like old feeling things. : ] What about you guys?
Anyone else REALLY like leatherbound books?

Re: Anyone else REALLY like leatherbound books?
I love the smell, its kinda musty and reminds me of my grandparents 
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

Yeah it does haha
I got a Kindle and thought it was great, but now I'm back to buying regular books. I gave up instant gratification to have physical objects.

To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge".
