I always and still refuse to read it.

So I was a straight a student lots of friends very active never in trouble. When my parents or ppl in generally tried to push the bible. I refused to read it. I still do.
It recently came to my attention that ppl were or re trying to blame my parents for my not reading the bible. They tried a few times but I always refused. After awhile I had reasons based on logic and reason. So try to blaming nurture. But it was me that refused, they tried. I turned it into a waste of time. It's not gonna change. Like I said then I'll say now. How am I expected to have my own opinions/spiritual view of reality if I memorize one perspective on it and exclude any others. Imagine the 6 year old saying that to a priest telling him to read his bible.
How long would you argue with the 6 year old honor student?

I was brought up Roman Catholic. Not really strictly but I had the bells a whistles of conformation. When sometimes I did read the Bible, it was mainly the Old Testament stories gave me interest. They have lots that involved battles of people and gods. So did the other mythologies of the Greeks and Norse, both of which I was exposed to. None of this I took as historically accurate.

Doubt was set in my childhood. Especially the concept of limbo. It still took decades to let go.

@BlueSkyKing that's pretty close to my experience too.
