I read spiritual works of my own choosing almost daily. (some from the Bible, the Popul Vu, shamans, the Dalai Lama, Kahlil Gibran, Chopra, Tao Te Ching, books on individuals' spiritual paths, spiritual dissertations, etc, etc.) Two particualrly great books are Gibran's "The Prophet", and Elizabeth Kubler Ross's, "What the Dying Have to Teach Us About life".
As for time I spend on web sites, it is none of anyone's business but mine. I will say this: I spend a lot more time researching and learning than I do answering questions.
"God Wants Spiritual Fruits- Not Religious Nuts"

Unfortunately, I spend part of the night on Yahoo Answers. As a Christian I should be reading the Bible more.

Reading the bible does not make you a Christian, Holy or even a partaker of the Sacraments. It is just knowledge. Many think that expounding on scripture is fine in itself and they don't believe in any kind of sacramental life.
Which is like talking about an elaborate feast, but not having the knowledge or ability to participate in it. You just end up empty and hungry in the end.
Those who have participated in the Sacramental Life, cannot describe the lifechanging effect of it. On a extremely lesser scale, how can you explain what chocolate tastes like to someone who never has tried it. It is impossible. Even more so, is someone trying to explain the benefit of the Eucharist to a resolved Protestant.
To answer your question. I spend more time on Yahoo Answers, though I am a reader of the word of God every day.

Is this a contest? What do I get if I win?
I spend way much more time in the Bible than my time here on Yahoo Answers.

Good question; I've never timed myself doing both. My guess is that I spend more time on this, but only if you refer to Bible reading alone, and exclude Bible study and attending meetings related to the Bible--in which case THAT would win out! I do my Bible reading late at night, before sleeping; so, in order not to take too much time, and not fall asleep while reading, I usually read just one chapter at a time. (If it's too long or too short, I adjust accordingly.)

I've read the Bible, so Yahoo Answers it is!

More time here but I like to think that some of my answers help some people and that counts for something to me. Hopefully it does to God too. I still spend a fair amount of time reading my bible and talking to God.

Yahoo Answers. There are enough people reading and
misquoting the meaning of the bible. People read it to mean what ever they want it to mean.

Who? Yahoo, of course.
I have already read the Bible many times. So I like to see how many folks are going to quote it correctly and then reach really absurd conclusions from what they have read.
