Reminder that by not reading the Bible you're depriving yourself of a vast wealth of knowledge and literary references (which every relevant book has in regards to the Bible) and therefore you will NEVER have a truly fulfilling experience regardless of what you read.

I just look up summaries online. You can understand the references and you don't have to slog through shit like genealogies and dietary requirements.

Has nothing to do with my alleged atheism but reading a book so you can understand references in other books is retarded. Besides, biblical references are almost always put in the end notes if you really cared or didn't catch it yourself.

reading the Bible is a massive cope. no one in pre-modern or even modern cultures "read" the Bible; they were brought up in a Christian society, were brought to church, and had stories and passages transmitted to them by their family and community. pretending like reading the Bible cover to cover in a void makes you a part of the literary tradition built upon it is infinitely faggier and more pseud than just accepting those times are gone; you're collecting literary references like they're funko pops.
