I wouldn't. You don't have to read the 9,000 page volume entitled "On the Manufacture and Proper Cut of Invisible Magic Fabrics" to mention that the emperor has no clothes.
To add - there are only so many books in ones lifetime, you never get those minutes back, and every bible read is one less Harry Potter - continuing further every Harry Potter is one less War and Peace..and that's pretty much how those tomes fall, respectively, on the totem pole of literature (in my estimation). I mean hell, if you're going to read something - one of our members published a book recently...willing to bet it's better written than the rag people turn to for divine guidance and you can even chat up the author if you have questions.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
