RE: Why do so many of you quote the bible and do nothing what says in it

I wouldn't argue against atheism unless I understood the authors. Once I had an argument with my cousin about Ayn Rand and I felt badly afterwards because I had not read anything about Rand's ideas in years and I was not really familiar. I felt badly about it afterwards, because I didn't really feel like I knew exactly what I was rejecting.
This is what atheists do when they say "why should we care about the Bible". It is psuedo-intellectual. You don't have any respect for learning, all you care about is building your political movement. That is really what it is about, because you look at peoples intentions and they say, I am not building a political movement, I want to understand the truth. But then you push them, on what terms do you understand truth? How much effort do you put into understanding truth that is not directly in your professional sphere?
You say "it is worth doing for fun" because you have ruled it out in advance. You have closed your mind to the possibility that it may be true even as you mock and ridicule Christians for their closed minds. I would not read any book the way that you read the Bible.
