Well atleast that is what I'm trying to do. I'm currently stuck in Leviticus and it's boring me so much. I'm thinking about skipping it. So any suggestions and/or tips.
I find it ironic that now that I'm an atheist, I'm actually trying to read the bible haha.
Leviticus is pretty boring. I'd recommend starting in the new testament with one of the gospels like Matthew or John. Then the book of Acts, which gives a good description of the early church. Smooth was right in saying that there's a lot of bible studies on the internet or, if you can stand being around us christians, go to an organized bible study at a local church. Some churches are very open to "seekers" and have studies specifically for non-believers. But also, as Smooth said, go in with a neutural attitude.
