As a Catholic I read the bible for entertainment reasons a surprising amount of the time. Remember the Bible is a bunch of books in one. Each one with a different style some are more comedic, some more romantic, some have a sense of horror, others are dramatic, others would have NC-17 ratings in any other situation. (honestly it boggles me when certain Christian groups want to burn so many books, I always wonder when was the last time they looked at the old testament.) Many many have crazy stories. It really is a cumulation of brilliant story tellers through out time. While the writers for this tv series are in themselves brilliant, I would like to urge you to not write the Bible off as a work of literature. However if you are looking for a good read dont try to read it from beginning to end. There are many dull parts like whole chapters on family trees. If you want to give the Bible a try, open it to a random story and let it carry you. And hey- who knows maybe it will inspire you to think about human nature even if you dont subscribe to Christianity.   See 29 other replies
