Do any of the non-believers on here at least enjoy the Bible as literature?

[JLBats]

I suppose I do. My favourite aspect of it has always been Judas, the betrayer, and a lot of it is still pretty rich, particularly the Gospel of John.

 

[Hades]

Yeah, it's a pretty sweet fantasy novel.

 

[Corinthian™]

The bible is real

 

[MoiBijou]

Yep, it's good to know about the Bible to be able to criticize it. Also, some of the Ancient Testament stories are very beautiful (Ruth, Deborah).

The bible is real

I'm not saying it isn't, I was just wondering.

 

[Hades]

The bible is real

of course it's real.
You can buy them at most seven elevens.

 

[Dorian Gray]

I don't hate the bible but I don't follow it either(I'm a buddhist), its a pretty interesing.


Its been years since I read it through....

I am a Christian, but that's awesome

 

[Slipknot]

I enjoy watching things on the history channel about things regarding the Bible.

Actually i just made that up cause i couldn't think of anyplace that sells
Bibles.

 

[JLBats]

I really like the reoccurences of certain numbers throughout the Bible(3, 7, 40).

Reminds me of the reoccurences of 19 in The Dark Tower series.

 

[Noon]

yes.

 

[GarudA]

I find the Bible and the Quran quite entertaining its like a fantasy novel, I put it up their with Stephen kings books.

 

[Hades]

I don't read Stephen King books.
Most just because he's ugly.

I wish somebody would rewrite it though
more action and stuff

They should make it into a movie trilogy.
Like the Lord of the Rings!

 

[The Question]

The Bible's got some very good points and some very bad points. But all in all, I like the good points. "Let he who is free of sin cast the first stone." Always liked that.

Yes! a final action filled showdown between Jesus and the devil in the end!

 

[JLBats]

There is tons of action in the Bible. Remember when Jesus shot a man in Nazareth just to watch him die? Remember that?

 

[Addendum]

There is a comic book version...

But it's kinda hokey

Yes, but I'm talking about the actual literature aspect of it. I like a lot of the Bible's message, but that's not necessarily at discussion here.

That image in the lower left looks like a porn scene is about to happen.

 

[Addendum]

To better appreciate some of the subtlety of the bible, I've heard you need to learn Hebrew and/or Greek, some parts are essentially poetry

lol

And it's pissing off Moses too

 

[Leto Atrides]

I rather like Exodus. Epic, and I'm into the whole overcoming oppressive authority thing.
