Thread: Do you read the Bible?

I saw The Ten Commandments, does that count?

Honestly, I keep meaning to read it one day. I've heard it's pretty good; dude comes back at the end, that's pretty wild. Then I just end up reading other sci-fi/spec-fic.



Praise "Bob", friends.

Yes i did and doing it again and yes i believe to Jesus Christ and to Virgin Mary(or Panagia as we in Greece say) and all the saints...Im a Greek Orthodox Christian and i believe that the Bible is the word of God but to be able to understand the word of God you have to be enlightened...Maybe tsunamis,wars and all this shit happening lately should make people understand that we maybe are reaching to the end of the world and to the second coming of Jesus,signs start to be a lot more last years...

Can cite the bible backwards due to a fervent religious upbringing, but it never clicked with me- it just didn't feel right. Too much bloodshed and too many diametrically opposed possible "life lessons" one can interpret from the stories.

I hate heated religious discussions so I'll just subtly say (and keep it at that) that I consider the notion that the god of any religion would indiscriminately kill people (including huge amounts of its own followers) enough to turn me off of that god (not that I believe that is a common interpretation of most Christians).

The Bible reinforced my Apatheism.

it must be interesting you must to believe and stuff first

I'm not a religious person,so I don't...

A good knowledge of the Bible is essential for anyone who wishes to engage in an educated debate about religion. No one should claim to be either a christian or an athiest without some background info, regardless of whether you believe that the bible is inspired by God or not.

when i am alone in home or when i travel in train i carry few books to read it and most of the time i carry my laptop with me and read some E-books

there are a lot of things i don't like about christianity but at the same time, i've never read the entire bible. something that i definitely need to do. i read revelations.
