"No doubt you all remember reading in the Acts of the Apostles of how Philip baptised the Ethiopian official. He is the first Ethiopian on record to have followed Christ, and from that day onwards the Word of God has continued to grow in the hearts of Ethiopians. And I might say for myself that from early childhood I was taught to appreciate the Bible and my love for it increases with the passage of time. All through my troubles I have found it a cause of infinite comfort." - H.I.M. Haile Selassie I

No doubt, rather than "burn" a Bible, a wise man, Christian or not, can encounter an abundance of knowledge and wisdom in it. A scholar -- again Christian or not (even atheist) -- will find fascinating parts of the Bible that elucidate history and provide context for all manner of human interaction.
