damn that's quite an impressive stack. have you accumulated that over time? how much of it have you read? is this related to your work or career, or just personal interest?

>> No.8428428

>>8428423
Do you mean just the last one or all of them? The last one I got mostly from my dad; I try to study at least a little Bible every day, and I'm going chronologically. I'm only about a sixth of the way through though, since I'm too lazy to read more than a couple verses + commentary usually.

Also the Bible stuff is just interest/religious belief, not career related or anything. I am kinda thinking about getting a Divinities degree though

These threads fucking suck. No one rates anything.

Rating on this board amounts to a one to four scale; Patrician, What a fucking Pleb, Look at this Pseud, and kys.

Do you actually find those ratings informative or useful?
