Hardly any christians have read the bible. Christians who read the bible often become Atheists as a result.

@Sharon I don't understand why some Americans want the Bible taught in school. They are not going to get the results they are "praying" for.

@chrisCA They're more likely to get the opposite.

@Sharon I think that many have certainly read - time and time again - particular sections of the Bible. This after being told by the previously "converted" exactly what they mean, thus how to interpret them. They never get beyond this. For them the Bible speaks for itself and is "quite plain" in its message. They then presume/proclaim that their own understanding/interpretation is "guided by the spirit of all truth" promised to "those who believe".

Therefore, in effect, they have NEVER read the Bible with a mind/heart open to the Living Word of God.

@LesDawsonsPiano There is no "living word of god". The bible is just a poorly assembled collection of myths and superstitions.

@Sharon As a non-dual Buddhist, I just try to use Christian-speak. For me all Reality is the Living Word and therefore can be found anywhere and in anything. Thus, in the Bible.
