Religious Books

Ok, now I was wondering this the other day, but decided to post today, but why do religious books actually cost money? I mean seriously, if someone wants to read the Quran, cause it is part of their religion, why should they pay for it? As a Christian (no pun intended haha) I should be able to go the store or w/e and get a Bible without having to pay for it. Faith doesn't have a price. The only reason I say this is because my folks got me this Bible for Christmas right, and on the back it had the price on it ($22 which is kind of expensive for a book in my opinion), and I'm like, "What in the world?" I would've said "wtf" but its a Bible so I tend to watch my language lol but you catch my drift. I'm gonna end this here before I ramble.

lol, i like how you had to edit yourself when referring to the bible.

my answer to your question being: Perhaps you're forgetting about the fact that publishing those books and distributing them costs money so giving them out w/no costs would be cutting their throat from a business standpoint.

and a spin off question being: why does it seem like churches are turning more into businesses then actual places of worship? Like is it really necessary for some of these fat ass churches to be that big?lol. You think they're doing that to attract more people so in turn, they could make more profit from tithes?
