Congress receives Bible

J.B. Atchison, 79, of Biloxi, Miss., talks on Aug. 6, 2014, about sending Rep. Steven Palazzo more than 500 bibles to hand out to lawmakers in Washington D.C. "A thought came to me," he said. "I said, 'Boy, if some of our lawmakers would read this and abide by it -- and God almighty is the real lawmaker -- I thought rather than doing things for re-election or help me now, help you later ... maybe reading this and reading about the commandments would make them feel that there's things more important in life than just getting ahead for themselves.' I just got kind of inspired to do it." (John Fitzhugh/Sun Herald/Tribune News Service via Getty Images)
