I'm an atheist who's read it several times, along with the apocrypha.

Adam...I'm just taking a poll, I don't care that you haven't read it.

Adam...I read it as a child, I enjoyed it, and I continue reading it as an adult for the same reason. I especially enjoy the apocrypha. If you haven't read the lost books, I recommend that you do.

Thank you Adam.

I haven't, at least not all of it, or even most of it. Does that make me bad? Am I going to hell? Am I a poor example of a Christian?

I've read the entire Bible. I also have read a part of the Apocrypha from the Oxford Bible. I have read Jasher, a part of Jubilee's and all of the Ethiopic Enoch. I have read the Gospel of Thomas, and a part of the Gospel of Judas. I have also read a few other 'apocryphal' writings.

I have read most of the bible, but I think i may have skipped some of Numbers :)
I would like to read it all, but when I am moved to do it, not just as a novel or something..hmm not sure if that made sense hehe

I'm the geek ... I have even traslated portions of it from Greek and Hebrew (and Latin ... geez, my poor wife).
I have also read the al Qur'an, the Vedas, the Book of Mormon, the Upanishads, I Ching, et. al. ... helps to at least be informed with what you disagree with.

I have read it cover to cover, but I prefer to do word studies, that takes me all through the Bible.
I also do subject studies.

I have I read it almost daily
but reading it and understanding it is 2 different things, the only way to understand it is thru the Holy spirit otherwise its a dead letter to you.
