From their site, there are currently 260,000 Gideons and Auxiliary members* wasting their time distributing bibles at a rate of 2 books per second.

They claim to have distributed 1.3 billion books since they started. That’s more than a couple of acres of forest gone right there.

Now, if all these people had instead dedicated themselves to teaching about this world or researching disease and environmental stewardship, we might have been in a much better place by now.

A mind is a terrible thing to waste, and filling it up with religion is one of the worst wastes of all.

* Apparently only men can be Gideons. Women have to join the Auxiliary to be able to contribute in this organization.
