Why Would An Atheist Read The Bible?
307 Answers
Why would a creationist read The God Delusion?
Anyway, Ive set myself a goal (always lived my life by goal setting, it focus's the mind) to read the entire Bible...Genesis to Revelation...in 3 months!
Ive read the entire Bible before, but forgot much of it, and after a few conversations at work (with Evangelicals) Ive decided to read the lot again. After 14 days I am currently at the first few chapters of Deuteronomy. Have struggled (but persevered) through meaningless chapter after after chapter of animal sacrifices in Numbers to meaningless chapter after chapter of ridiculous laws in Leviticus, with endless repetitions of genealogies and the endless repetition of killing animals because it is a *Pleasing aroma before the Lord*
I can quiet understand why Bible believers have never read the Bible.
Its Boring.
Its sick
Its Immoral
Its irrelevant
But I'll read it!
Can Bible believers understand why I will?
(for the next couple of months at least)

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It's worth pointing out that if the Universe was finite in diameter when it was "created", then it would be finite in diameter now. But that is not what is believed to be so. Space is likely to be infinite, in which case it was infinite to start with.
I'd be happy to discuss that with you further beso, but what's certainly true is that the Universe wasn't a Planck Length big, and it's also not true that the Planck length is a minimum possible length scale, ie that there are no possible smaller distances. That would have severe consequences for Special Relativity, in fact. What *is* true is that the Planck length is the smallest length we can claim to understand at the moment.

Bit behind in Biblical goal of reading Bible in 3 months...
Missed a few days reading but finished Joshua.
Man! What a hoot. If you like blood and guts and God-Given genocide then read Joshua. Got nothing on Stephen King!
What does this book tell me about God exactly?
(Apart from been a psychopath)?
I utterly fail to see what it is supposed to convey apart from slaughtering enemies is good?
Am I missing some spiritual insight?
