Those results are surprising to me as well. I don't agree or disagree. I'm just surprised. Speechless, you might say. 
It always amazes me when they do these polls and the answers they come up with. I always wonder if they polled a few more people would they come up with a different answer or result. I think so.
My favorite book would have to be the one I am reading at the moment, whatever it may be.

i thought it would be the harry potter books or some cookbook.
his heart knows only virtue,
his blade defends the helpless,
his might upholds the weak,
his word speaks only truth,
his wrath undoes the wicked

All the books on that list are incredibly boring in my opinion. But then again, the last book I read was how scientific explinations for the world contradict themselves everytime they discover something new, and the ones I'm on right now have to do with stupidity soon dominating the world and how mathmetiticians, artists, and musicians follow a similar line of work despite the differences they seem to show. Would you believe that I'm reading these books of my own free will? XD
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.
People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

No kidding, I thought it'd be Harry Potter with how popular it is. o_O Surprising that it'd be the bible, but then I agree with Thoul's response... Maybe they surveyed religious people?snowdragon wrote:i thought it would be the harry potter books or some cookbook.
