On Reading the Bible

I'm trying...but I am getting thoroughly bored. I thought I'd like to put forth some kind of analysis but it just turns out inane and ridiculous.

Why on earth it is one of the "best-selling" books on the market I will never grasp. I'm tempted to think that it's just a keepsake item because as far as I know not many people who own a bible actually read it much less pour over the contents.

One thing I do understand is that those who do delve into it are going to find all kinds of "evidence" to support it's validity no matter what anybody else says or discovers about it. I'm no theologian nor do I care to be. My endeavor still stands: I will read the bible but only at my leisure and I'm not so sure I will grace my pages here at UC to provide an in depth analysis of the contents of this book. I'm sure, though, that at times I will stumble onto something of relevance but what's the point when most everything out there concerning the bible and it's discrepancies has been covered for two-thousand years, and counting, already.

I'll have to admit that I've run into the same problem with trying to read "On the Origin of Species"; that one is a hard read too, but for different reasons, at least Darwins idea is not in dispute within the scientific community while the bible is in dispute across all factions of academia, especially history.

I guess that's all I have to say on that for now.
