The Bible for sure is #1

• BrandoElFollito 9y ago
  As an atheist, I am curious what in the Bible has influenced you. I read it and I found that without the faith part (which makes it a book important to you, no matter if you like it or not) it reads as a story like others. I am not trying to be critical in any way, it is that I failed to find really deep thoughts inside, which would make me think after reading it. It is full of stories which have a moral, not different from many others and not thought provoquing (of course this is my personal opinion) - as a casual reader I be glad to be pointed to such parts there.

    In fact, there's quite a lot of practical and interesting insights into relationship, finances, discipline and more, for example the book of Proverbs is full of literal advice on dealing with family, children, marriage, business ethics. The letters of Paul to the Romans and Corinthians contain very interesting thought provoking statements on love, relationship, respect. Even if you remove faith completely from the picture you can definitely find very interesting content.

      When I was younger, I read the Bible from cover to cover, twice. Now I am much older and as an atheist, I wish I hadn't wasted my time on such simplistic themes written by simplistic men. There are much deeper and more profound books also written by man, and far more complex.
