Start with the gospels, then genesis+exodus, then psalms, then prophets, then rest of new testament. After that read what you want. Job and Ecclesiastes are obvious musts, but I really like Ruth too

No it isn't. You're not fooling anyone. You were probably an online atheist in the 2010's, around 2016 you were an anti-SJW, now you're a catholarper, and in 2028 you'll probably be a follower of Pol Pot of the Nuon Chea variety, so a Buddhistic agrarian socialist

No he wouldn't, /lit/ is pretty much the only board on here for intellectual debate, so this board is pretty much ground zero for every intellectual fad that will spread into the wider culture at large.

Just try it. Take a religion + a philosophy + an ideology, and debate it on here. It'll spread across the otger boards, then some twitter tranny picks it up and it's spread across the wider context of the internet.

Also, combining completely contradictory religions, philosophies and ideologies gives you more traction

Of course.

Anyone have any good lectures or resources to actually analyze this book? I bought a study bible but so far it seems pretty biased towards the belief in God and is kind of annoying. (completely wrote off Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac, basically told philosophers they wasted their time analyzing that one.)

Found a good reading chart not too long ago, it checks out. But that is also a lot of reading over the course of a year. If you want something slower and easier while you read other works, try daily Mass readings. I've been doing these every day for a while

As with Christians, who are also raised to be Christians by their parents. But even on the Mormon website, there is a FAQ which includes the question "how can I know the church is true?" and their answer is to look within yourself, you will "feel" the answer, and that's God telling you Mormonism is true.
