�Several times and the BOM and the Pearl of Great Price and the Watch Tower and the other texts of world religions.��BCHostMamaG 6/6/03
�After 9 years of Catholic school and such, oh yeah I've read the bible.��MightK 6/6/03
�Some in my high school English class. But we read it as a piece of literature and not a religious book.��steph4980 6/6/03
�I've read parts of it, but mostly from an academic point of view. Even when I believed in God, I still didn't buy into the biblical stories. I always felt that the bible was written by unknown men, and those men may not be credible. The authors of the bible could have been the David Koresh and Jim Jones types of their day for all we know.��LuvThatDyl 6/8/03
�Yes. Several times. I've read most major religious world texts, and I actually enjoy studying other religions. World Religions in college was like a gift to me, and it sparked an interest and understanding in many world traditions. I don't believe in any of them, but I find the study of religion fascinating....��LoreleiG 6/8/03
�I've tried...eyes glaze over and must pick up nearest magazine.��Captain Feathersword 6/8/03
�No. I've read bits and pieces, but never the whole thing. I do have 2 bibles in my home though. One used to be my mom's when she was a little girl that I got when she died. The other was a gift to dh when he was little.�-jazmommy 6/6/03
� No. I prefer to read the Adventures of Winnie the Pooh on my time off.��Cindi_Doll 6/17/03
"I have not read it straight through. Like most people raised in the Christian church, it was introduced to me piecemeal. I was never given the option of reading it before deciding if I wanted to believe. It was presented to me as Truth when I was a child, and I accepted it. Reading the entire Bible was not considered particularly necessary. I reread many part of it in college when I was taking Folklore classes. We studied stories in the Bible under the context of myths. We didn't assume they weren't true, but rather applied a very specific classification system to the stories, assigning those that took place in a "time before time" (e.g. Creation) as myths. Those that took place in the historical past (such as stories about Jesus), were called legends. Again, this was not a judgement on the Truth or accuracy of the stories, just a way of classifying them. However, in the course of analyzing the Bible passages, they became indistinguishable to me from all other types of folklore, shaped by history, culture, and sometimes, deliberate modification by people. The Bible made much more sense to me as a man-made document than as the voice of the divine." --contents, 6/29/05
