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'.

Well said, Dad!

I have read the entire Bible twice, and studied it regularly until I left my parents house.

At least twice.
And I also spend a fair amount of time in hotel/ motel rooms drinking and reading from the book in the room. Entertaining but not enlightening.

Yes. I have. 12 years of Catholic school. Also, as an adult. Another good read is The Book of God - The Bible as a Novel. It makes it read like a nice long story or an epic movie. The Character are more detailed and the cultures and practices of that time are explained. Making it historically more interesting . I enjoyed it.

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.

When we moved to Vegas when I was 11, our neighbours gave us a Book of Mormon. I tried to read it couple times than...but didn't make sense. And I have perused though it times over the year. Just too weird.

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

I know passages in the Quran. But could never go through it completely. Too scary. And yes, the satantic bible is the most moral. They actually tell you Not to rape.
