Does the bible have intrinsic value?

It amazes me how Christians are the ones that claim it's some sort of message from god, yet they tend to be less familiar with it than atheists, on average.

Wouldn't you be a bit curious to actually read it all properly, if you really believed that?

I believe that's a bit of a misnomer Rob.
You can only "believe" in that stuff if you DON'T read it properly.

Any person who reads it properly and thoroughly will soon realise all the contradictions and inconsistencies will make for a very dull experience.
Even as a work of fiction, it's crap, let alone as a guide to real life!

Touché! That goes a long way to explain why atheists know it better. They are the ones who read it

Fuck, I've read it more than most of them, and I was never even a Christian.
