Anand, you presume that because people have a bible that they read it.  Not so, I have many books on my library shelf that I have not opened after many years

You did not answer the questions I asked. Why Bible is most read book? Why it is most influential book in the world? Why millions of Christians accepted persecution to defend Christianity? Why thousands of people became martyrs while spreading their faith and defending it? Why thousands of people ridicule Blavatsky?
