I think the way to understand the true value of the Bible is to read and study it. It does seem a little extreme, but I am not really woreied about it. If I die and God does exist I know where I'll be.
I was a Christian when I set out to read the Bible through, cover-to-cover, which I did, twice (KJV and Living Bible). I was no longer a Christian when I finished that project (though not yet an atheist).
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
