I use common sense. Yes I read them
Books are written by humans. They are written to convey meanings that sometimes people misinterpret nowadays.
Reading the bible only is like reading an old map, but u won't use anything else that is available to you like google maps or google earth. It was the reason why people say that the earth is flat. The church said so, so everything is blasphemy. And it took a long time for people to open their eyes. Religions are often used to further an individual/group's interests.
If you really believe in God, u should increase your knowledge about him and know what is right or wrong.
To tell you the truth. I used to think that I've known the bible and understand the meanings that are conveyed. But recently, after studying other religions, I've come to know that I did not understand the bible at all. The bible is so much deeper than just religion and the word God. It's about life and understanding God.

If a person believed in other gods and other books that were contrary to the Bible, then they would not be called Christians, would they? So your question is a contradiction in its self.

A definition-based Christian is someone "who believes in Jesus Christ", but also believes in the presence of a "triune God", that is, a God-head that is present in three parts: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
There are many denominations --or "sub-sects"-- of Christianity, which have different beliefs about the Scriptures. For example, the Catholic church recognizes a set of written books (or "Canon") -known as the Apocrypha- that are apart from the Christian Bible accepted as the Word of God by all Christans.

I don't see how someone can do that and call themselves a Christian. The Christian faith clearly teaches you to believe only in God and that the Bible is His inspired Word.
If this is some sort of trick question about the Trinity, no it's not a contradiction. It's just that we can't understand the divine nature of the Triune Godhead--God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.

??? Christians believe in one God, so how could they possibly believe in other gods if that is the case. They wouldn't be Christians then, would they.
Personally, I don't see how someone can believe in anything and simultaneously believe in something contrary to that --- unless they suffered from multiple personality disorder.

I'm a lifelong Christian, but I'm not opposed to learning about other religious traditions. I have no problem with reading the sacred texts of religions other than my own. I'm not afraid of examining other belief systems, and I've attended quite a few non-Christian religious services. But I remain a Christian by choice.

Absloutely NOT
there is only One God - The Alpha & Omega - the Creator of the Heavens and the Earth. and all thereof.
Which came to this earth to give us an example of how we are supposed to treat each other(1st Peter 2:21).Jesus Christ is The One True Eternal God -
Even if someone does'nt believe in Him -
He still Believes in them.

You mean idols that are made with human hands?
How can the created be greater than the creator?
Then, they sell these idols.
Can God be bought with money.
How stupid people are to believe this.
They are just man made pieces of JUNK!!
Money is the worse idle against God.
This is the truth.
Jesus Christ is Lord. John 3 16
God is the only God.
