I gave the bible another whirl around November/December last year.

Gotta say, it was great motivation to go running on my lunch breaks. I either had the choice to stay in and read the bible for an hour over my lunch, or I could go running and shorten an hour of bible time to more like 10-15 minutes.

I ran a lot last winter.

:p

Afterwards, give your mind a colonic by reading Bart Ehrman's stuff.

I don't think I can get Bart Ehrman's writings in Libya (or the bible for that matter)?

Reading the bible is like reading a story written by an 8 year old, imaginary and fictional. I don't see the point in reading the bible at all (except as someone correctly said, to arm yourself against Christians' bullshit) but I hardly see it to be worth it since it's a big book and time could be spent better.

You don't have a kindle or iPad or anything?

What's kindle? Libya is a cash society (check it out).
Note:I didn't read much since preparatory school. There's not much material for adults that interests me. we don't have public libraries, and most books are religious themed, propaganda (we had gaddafi, white washed history in favor of muslim arabs and other Bullshit) and conspiracy stuff.
And then there's censorship.

Your OP reads as if you've already started reading the Bible.

As for finding Ehrman's stuff, could you order it online?

I don't know how to do that (I don't have a debit card, and won't the customs check it).

The writing skill of those who wrote the bible are way better than mine.
Arabs don't read.

Could you translate that to malti.

I wonder why this site isn't censored.

Sure if you understand better this way

"Meta taqra l-Bibbja qisek tkun qieghed taqra ktieb miktub minn xi tifel ta tmien snin. Ma nafx xinhu l-punt li taqra l-Bibbja hlief biex tkun tista targumenta mal Kristjani, imma nahseb li l-hin li tkun hlejt taqra l-Bibbja jista' jigi uzat ahjar."
