Phrasing, honey, Phrasing...
Pretty sure OP understands the concept, given they made this FML with clear awareness of their mistake.
Everyone gets nervous O.P but surely a match or lighter would have been a better answer?
Besides, they would be used to start a fire, not as the fuel to keep one going.
I'm really annoyed at the fact that several people didn't read the FML thoroughly enough to know & remember that OP was given a list before commenting..
Both phrases kinda sound sacrilegious. Maybe choose a standard book as opposed to desecrating anybodies faith. And yes I would've said the same if this were a Quran/Torah, etc.
They were given a list to choose from. They probably only had the 1 book on it.
...that second statement actually makes LESS sense
I'm really hoping that this wasn't a job interview because it would be entirely inappropriate to ask if you'd take a Bible somewhere with you.

Show it anywayI'm not getting the part "...if the trees on the island bear fruit."
Agreed, the clarification didn't make it sound any less sacrilegious to me. Seeing as I'm not a Christian, I can only wonder if it's referencing a passage in the bible that I'm not familiar with?
You guys are both overcomplicating it: OP means that if the island's trees bore fruit, OP wouldn't want to chop them all up for wood and kindling because then a good food source would be gone.
Logic - it's a beautiful thing.
I believe OP is saying that if the trees grow fruit that they don't want to use the trees to start a fire so they won't lose a food source, so they chose to use paper from the bible instead. which still doesn't make a lot of sense since they could use fallen leaves and twigs instead without having to interfere with the food source.
You don't want to cut down trees that feed you.
