Great question. I have not. My father was an Atheist, raised in Greek Orthodoxy. He told his kids 'why would you waste your time reading that shit? there's so many other books out there and they're better written'.

Now why would I do a damn-fool thing like that? Seriously - I have read a lot of it, back when I was doing the church thing 30 years ago, and also in college next to other texts, comparing stories. I never wanted to read the whole thing! I got enough to know not to!

I have..many times. When I finally began reading the Bible in the original Greek and Hebrew, I realized that most of what I'd been taught in church wasn't even in the original version.

I have read the NIV bible, the Quran and the Satanic Bible. The Satanic Bible is by far the most moral of the three.

Tried a couple of times and failed.

Back when I was 24 I did a read the bible in a year. Stopped half way through when I found that certain parts were left out. Read the deleted parts and called myself an atheist.

A few times during the 2.5 years spent in a fundamentalist cult from 19-21.

A couple of times through. One round specifically to see if I could spot a phophesy, all these prophesies jesus was supposed to fulfill, could one discern a phophesy from any of the other noise. I did not spot a single one. Oh sure cherry pick, a pharse about born in the city of david, but it is shuffled in with a lot of other stuff, I saw no indication that that pharse was talking about a messiah, or even the future. My father is going through it right now, I asked him to pay attention and see if he can spot any time in the old testament where the jew is instructed to be kind, loving or even civil to his neighbor. Jesus was admonishing them for not being loving toward one another, but their book never suggests they should.

Also read through the book of morman a couple of times. Spoiler alert, the mormans follow their book about as religiously as the evangelicals follow theirs.

By the age of 15, I had read it from cover to cover 3 times.

Not a single verse.... Why would I want to do that??

I have read it from beginning to end three times.

In the words of a recent YouTube video gone viral: "Ain't nobody got time for that!"

I have read the Bible the koran the Book of Mormon part of the Vedas didn’t get to the Upanishad I read a little bit of the Tanaka and read quite a lot of the writing of the Baha’i. Been thinking about looking at the Tipitaka. But they are all bullshit. .

No, I love to read, but I have never felt the need to read the bible.

Reading the bible took me from "an atheist" to "holy shit I am such a fucking atheist you don't even know."

You mean including the parts that have been left out like the Book of Mary?

Heavens no, I got shit to do. But, as soon as they make it into a movie, I'm on it

No chance

Many many times....

I have read it in many different forms. The Christian Bible and the Eastern Orthodox Bible as well as the Catholic Bible. They are all differing books. Same idea but the see it differently.

Serveral times. Spoiler alert... "it wasn't the devil, it was God."

3 times start to finish, many extracts dozens of times.

I sure have.

I've made it most of the way through. It's interesting that, if you're taught its the infallible Word of God, and read it with devotion (assuming it's right and if you don't understand it's your problem) that you can miss so much obvious bullshit. I'm not sure what exactly flipped the skeptic switch in my brain, eventually, but ever since I find so much bullshit in the Bible it's staggering.
The Skeptic's Annotated Bible is on my shelf and on my list to sit and go through some day. "Drunk with Blood" is a good book, if you want to get a sense for how evil the "god of the Bible" is, condensed. Pure evil. On the level of Hitler. How did I miss that all those years?

In the middle of reading it. Leviticus is annoying as hell, the repetition is pissing me off, lol
