  Imagine 2000 years into the future tolkienlanders having their own territory and flag, >
  
  Why wait, I'd say we get this sort out. LOTR is also a series of books with a character that comes back to life with a bit of betrayal in it >
  
  There is magic in it too, thats why i say wait a long time and the people from the future will take it  literally >
  
  Fair enough, when should we start it as a religion? >
  
  The Christian Bible is a series of anthogies, the Catholic version being a collection of 73 different books, 7 of which are excluded from the Protestant version. >
  
  OK, a book club about one series >
  
  I think of it as a fan club devoted to the one character and all the various fan-fiction about him, including those books and the many books, movies, songs, etc., they're still producing.  Like "Team Edward" with a few thousand years of obfuscation and retcons. >
  
  So does this mean the pope approves of Christian rap? >
  
  I doubt he enjoys it personally, but it's fundamentally equivalent to the chanting of Benedictine Monks, so I'm going to say yes, though he might quibble over the definition of "Christian" in that context. >

  The catholic church has much more books than just the Bible. One of the points of contention between them and the protestants was precisely that the protestants believed only the Bible should be used to determine truth, while the catholic church had more stuff they used, traditions, doctrine.  
  For instance, there are these books of "sacred history", which is a more digestible version of the Bible, leaving out the more confusing parts. I don't think my grandma ever read her Bible, but she sure read her sacred history.  
  There's also all the literature written around the lives of the saints. And there are a lot of saints. >
  
  Vatican city has one of the largest libraries of porn in the world. >
  
  Source? Honestly I won't believe that until I see it...how does one go about seeing it, I'm asking for a friend >
  
  Most countries are built on a single text. They’re called constitutions. >
  
  Actually, the bible is more than even just a series. The bible created a whole new fantasy universe, which is not impressive, still, people beleave it >
  
  How is that not impressive >
  
  There are people who believe that Earth is flat based on a single youtube video. Using a book to get people to belive something seems much easier than a youtube video. >
  
  That is not what I was going for but yes >
  
  A book they wrote, too. But like someone else said, most countries are based on a written document they wrote themselves. >
  
  Someone doesn't understand the Vatican and obviously not book clubs. >
  
  Someone doesn’t understand what a joke is >
  
  Sir, this is a ShowerThoughts
