I'm curious what everyone's experience was prior to deconversion when it comes to reading the Bible. At least one user mentioned having viewed Bible stories in the same light as Aesop's Fables. The reason I find this interesting is because most children, I would assume, are first taught Bible stories in a very Dr. Seuss-type fashion; with color illustration, easy to understand paraphrases, or even cartoons and musicals such as the Prince of Egypt. I don't know to what extend children are asked to read these stories straight from the notorious KJV with all its thee's and thou's, for example, and if they did would their comprehension be on par with an adults.
Is it possible that the way in which these stories are presented to children, plays a role in them being viewed as children's stories?
