“The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession.”                                                                                            
― Abraham Lincoln, Speeches and Writings, 1832-1858 

Of course, Lincoln can only be speaking the truth. The Bible is not his book; it is the Book of God. Neither   is religion his  profession because he does not make money out of it, he does not make a living out of religion and neither will he ever do so.

But so many Bible-clutching preachers and ministers and pastors and founders of different and opposing religious and church organizations have been claiming the Bible as their own and amassing great wealth out of religion. There is even one who I always hear saying and telling the world that he is the Son of God holding office somewhere in the southern part of the Philippines.
