The Bible-Boooooring

[smax]

I have read the bible from cover to cover numerous times, although I must admit I tended to skim through the genealogies. That said, I found it quite interesting. But that may simply be a product of the fact that I was studying to be minister at the time, and I felt I should know the book thoroughly. So investigative interest may have nullified the potential for boredom.

Ironically, the biggest single contributing factor in my eventual break from the Christian faith was my reading of the bible, and that's why I try to encourage as many Christians as possible to read the whole bible and not just the New Testament.

If you can read that book, and not be thoroughly appalled by the blatant disregard that god has for humanity and basic decency, you might just be as evil as he is painted to be. Seriously, the god of the bible makes someone like Adolf Hitler look like a humanitarian by comparison. And, even if you can stomach the horrible attrocities god does and calls for, your basic sense of logic and reason should lead you to easily see that the book and it's god are merely an invention of ancient man, filled with scientific impossibilities, contradictions, and bogus history.
