For this reason I would like my dad to deepen his walk with God through reading the bible. I have no hope that he would bin the whole thing but wholeheartedly support any action that would yield positive results. In many ways I am a Chaote I just don't do spells anymore. The chaos star is my favorite symbol!

But, not to derail the thread, reading the bible is good for believer and unbeliever alike. I will probably read the Quran too and more on Buddhism. Is there a collected works of Buddhism? I know there are many Sutras but is there a collected group of works that could be considered complete? What is it called?
Thanks,

Here is a good link Rhizo on the basics of Buddism and it's teachings. http://online.sfsu.edu/~rone/Buddhism/footsteps.htm
Reading the bible is essential to all atheists for one reason and one reason only. If you are going to refute a religion you have to know what it is that you are refuting and going to the source, in this case the bible, is the best way to go about it.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
