Just to be unnecessarily picky, the "New testament" is not "the Bible" -
rather a subset thereof.

On the subject of religious nitpicking, that picture should give some people something to think about when dealing with their Japanese counterparts.  1) A lot of US hotels don't have much in the way of religious options.  Gideons is about the extent of it.  :P  The cheap wedding chapel with the black velvet Elvis does not count...  :P hehehehe

Second, there was a New Testament, and books from three different branches of Buddhism.  :P
