Now that I re-read my statements, it was stupid to consider a 5 year old's favorite book choice as the Bible "strange", along with assuming that their parent(s) may try and promote their religion in front of others.
extremely devote christians would take any oprotunity to promote their "belief" to others, expecially the younge uncultured mind. I'm sure the child asked mommy to read Thomas the Train, but felt the bible to be more suited to their obligation to spread Gods word as instructed.
Being the father of a couple of younger children I know good and well they didn't say the bible was their favorite book. Now maybe the child intended to mean bible stories (ie: golden book series of bible stories). Which would be understandable.
