Note that the energy loss due to friction of an object such as a book is independent of the verity of its content.

Thankfully, we have people like you to help lubricate it.

I find that rubbing certain books on the crotches of some species of camel generates enough energy to cook eggs, regardless of how lubricated the camel is.

The bible gave us friction.

Steve Gutenburg popularized friction by rubbing bibles together during Police Academy.

the Coeficient of Friction refers to the resistance to movement one object has on another in proportion to the force being excerted perpendicular to the plane of contact between the two objects... Gravity is one such way of applying said force, like say a book laying on a table top. The bible is very heavy reading... you do the math!

There is also the phillisophical pressure applied by the bible and proponents of the bible, which amounts to a resistance to change, which is another sort of friction.

And last but not least, there is a the bible's uncanny ability to create vocal and occasionally violent dissagreement over interpretation, validity, applicability, values, and nature. These dissagreements amount to social friction between two or more groups, occasionally generating enough heat to actually explode.

And relevent to this thread, is that its pages would provide less friction than the standard fare, which could be either a blessing or a curse.

If you say that, it's quite obvious then that you've actually never used some bible paper as toilet paper...

Wow sometimes just as I have faith in the internet as a social aspect, things like this are said. It forces me to run my lady bic across my wrists and cry to the lyrics of 'Yatti'. The very stuplifying fundaments of such babble is considered illegal in 12 states and most asian provininces. That being said I will enlighten you folks with the main point behind a theory that I may eventually publish.
The bible is an acronym.
Basic
Instructions
Before
Leaving
Earth


Also it is not sacreligious to use bible pages as rolling paper for the cannibus plant.

Suicide is a sin :).

Also, and funnily enough, it's religious people that frequently send me screaming for the hills.

Anyway, keep the faith (shiver) I'm in the minority, not you.
