A couple religion related things I’ve come across recently…
- On Quora, someone asks what non-believers who have read the entire Bible think when they read it?
- Is religion declining worldwide? That is definitely the trend and a recent discussion with a co-worker left us wondering whether religion as we know it would cease to exist completely at some point in the future (me) or morph into something similar but different (him)?
Full disclosure – I have never read the Bible from cover-to-cover so I couldn’t answer that first question. When I was a kid, I had a “Child’s Book of Bible Stories” that I read regularly and later, probably in my teens, I honestly tried to read the Bible. I even remember buying a copy at a remaindered bookstore in the States (how appropriate!) during a family trip but I just couldn’t get past all the begats and how boring it seemed – compared to my child’s book which at least focused on the stories which are, admittedly, quite powerful.
