U know if the Bible was the official book...

- no shrimp allowed so all teh Red Lobsters will go out of business
- no Polyester so goodbye 90% of department store business
- u would have Craigslist 4 Daughters so you could buy / sell your precious baby girl
- no football because no pig skin
- all the optometrists would go out of business bc you cannot look at the lord without good eyesight
- all televangelism would be banned bc you should trust not those who pray on the street but go speak to god in your own closet

best part?
