Quote:All they are doing are glossing over the screwed up and bad parts of the bible, ignoring the contradictions, and focusing on the parts they like. There's nothing else in that book that you won't get if you read it yourself.
I have read about 2/3 of the Bible and am trying to motivate myself to finish it. It is an intensely difficult book to read and just boring as all hell. Needless to say it has most definitely not changed my outlook on God. If anything it reinforced it.
