Who has actually read the Bible?

[moonford]

I'm liking the interesting topics so...here's another one! ^^
How many people have actually read the Bible? (Both Testament's, cause let's be honest the old testament was the foundation of Christianity and you should follow it if you're a Christian.) Anybody on the forums who has read it? Let us know. + Comment your opinions on it below. ***Sidenote*** Please do not bash religions and keep it calm. Thank you. ^^

HELLLLL NO LMAO THAT LONGASS BOOK

even people who claim they agree with the bible havent read that ****! i simply voted "no" though because i dont necessarily 'disagree' with the christian bible, i just dont follow it.

 

[Mr. Cat]

Yes and I disagree with the bible and would never follow it. I read it just to try to understand what people see in it. I treat it as a story book of very outrageous tales.

 

[RainbowCherry]

I don't believe in any of it, but I've read several abridged versions. I want to read the full thing though, I'd enjoy if I could get it here without Ebay or something.

are you saying when Jesus died on the cross as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins, he didn't make it so we no longer have to sacrifice sheep and goats and cows? should we still be doing that, as well as much more Levitical Law?

Sorry, I don't read fictional books.

I took a mandatory "Bible Studies" class this year, so I read about 80% of the Bible within a couple months.

Let us know. + Comment your opinions on it below.
My opinion is that the stories that made it up had good morals and stuff, but I found that a lot of the stories shared similar characteristics as other famous stories (ie.: Narnia, Indiana Jones, etc.).

Me too! I think its an incredibly creative book, however it is really homophobic, racist and it literally states that you should marry the man who rapes you...what is wrong with person who wrote it.

a lot of those stories are inspired from the Bible, in particular Chronicles of Narnia was written by C.S. Lewis who was a Christian, Indiana Jones borrows ark of the covenant, etc

What?

if you're here to very mildly bash Christianity because Christians don't follow Levitical Law, you are in the wrong place. you need to learn about the Bible before making stupid comments like that

 

[Corrie]

I find it funny that most religious people follow a religion and haven't actually read the bible. How can you follow a religion you know nothing about?

Anyway, I do not believe in the bible. My ex read me several passages and they are so insanely silly I can't take it seriously.

 

[EpicGamer12]

you've never read Harry Potter???

 

[Llust]

i bought one and tried reading it when i was a kid. couldnt even get through the first page. even if i tried reading it now, i still probably wouldn't get as far as i did before

I went to a church school, so I had no choice.


I think it's got some badass stuff in there that would make cool movies and stuff (which to be fair, many concepts have already 'inspired' many movies etc already), but as a whole it's as 'real' as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.

Bill and Ted also teach to "be excellent to each other", which is basically most religions in a nutshell.

Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure > the bible

 

[Fleshy]

I'm not religious at all but I find religion an interesting subject, and yes, despite not "believing it" I read it through choice.

I read the new testament and a bit of the old one when I was younger in school and I found it funny and full of contradiction, but it's interesting, there are points that probably don't make sense now but had a reason in ancient times, like why divorce and re-marriage were not allowed.

 

[piichinu]

we have to read it in school most of the time, so yea I've probably read it all.
unlike many idiots, I know not to take everything in the bible literally and to always check the footnotes to make sure I understand what I've just read, and realize many of the things in the bible do not apply to today and were only in there for hygienic reasons

as for the ""silly"" stories, well maybe it's not in your culture to tell interesting and embellished stories like that so don't be an ass about it because for some people, it's normal. the bible was never written by Americans in the 21st century so remember that.

 

[Bowie]

Wouldn't waste my time with it. I do have to say that I can appreciate it as a story, however.

 

[Aniko]

The story of the father and his two daughters fleeing Sodome was a bit hardcore.
