The insinuation is only there due to my incrduelty that anyone could read such a thing and not see that it is repleat with factual error, logical falacy, outright sillyness, superstition, and interpolations to suit dogma

Your question is offensive. It insinuates that many Christians in this day and age mainstain some sort of imbecilic reading comprehension as adults. Why not just ask if Christians have read their bible in all its entirety?
Get over yourself, please.

People read the bible in different ways. Some are more orthodox and believe that everything in the bible is true and must be followed to the letter. Other people (christians, etc) feel that the bible is figurative and serves as a tool for a higher purpose- therefore even if thehy did read the whole bible ( or at least the new testament for Christians) it doesnt mean that the logical fallacies, etc would turn them off to God or the faith they have.
p.s- Im not Christian

I believe that people should read the whole Bible, but understanding it is much more important. I suspect that most so-called Christians in America don't read the Bible because they are false disciples. Of the few who do know God, most don't understand the Bible unless it is explained to them.

I have several times and I have an Associates in Science Degree. So my reading comprehension is well above 6 grade level. There is a lot of great literature, wisdom, history, prophesy, love stories, and poetry. Try reading Ruth and Esther as well as the Psalms and Proverbs, and the Song of Solomon.

Hello,
Well I have but you can read it through like a Harlequin Romance or Louis L'Amour book in about 50 hours but if you slowly go through line by line, verse by verse while reading other books concurrently to teach you on the history, philosophies and status quo of those times, it takes a life time.
Cheers,

I have read it all several times, but I skip around alot to compare Old and New Testaments. As for starting at the front and straight through, no. I intend to though.

While this is kind of shocking, that they admit it, I really have to respect some of the honesty here.

Can you really expect them to read the whole thing? The first half isn't even for them; it was written by a people they consider hell-bound; so it seems like reading the whole thing might incite some dangerous questions...
ps. Lucid Freedom,
Maybe that insinuation is justified by his/her experience. I know I've found that to be the case often.

I haven't yet. I would say I have studied the whole Bible. And I know many of you will laugh and say I couldn't have studied it without reading it....but I have studied through group studies and things without reading the actual book.
I do know about 50 people at my church who have read it all though. (Being a small church of about 80...that isn't bad.)
