Why would i read a religious text if i had access to an actual library?
Is this community about proving its name wrong?
People have questions. If you do not understand the spirit of this community why do you participate by making people less likely to ask questions they are unsure about?
If this is not against the rules it should be. Comments like this should be removed.
I wouldn’t think about any religion at all.
Well, maybe I’d read some Norse mythology. I’m not very familiar with that and some of it sounds pretty interesting.
I have zero interest in the Bible beyond the initial curiosity that led me to read it 30 years ago. Once was enough.
If the only books available to me are the texts of world religions, give me the myths and sagas of the Nordic peoples. At least they invented the modern novel and have stuff that’s entertaining to read.
I happen to be in jail just now, so I can consider myself a bid of an expert on this dopic. I’ve noticed that the paper of the quaran is rougher than the average bible paper, so the answer should be clear.
I dunno, I think weed is too hard to get in jail, and bibles as rolling papers aren’t as good as people think
Plenty of other works of fiction in the prison library. No need to read any religious book.
I’m in jail 8 hours a day, 5 days a week sometimes more if something breaks.
I have absolutely zero interest in some “magic” book about a megalomaniacal sky daddy.
Fuck off with that.
What would jail have to do with it?
You know you can just go to a library, right? (You don’t need to be in jail, buddy)
Didnt read it before jail, didnt read it in jail, not gonna read it after jail.
Read a bunch of other books tho.
I’d probably read other books
I’d probably just stay pagan
While I consider myself to be Ignostic, I find lots of wisdom in religious texts. I am selective. I use what I consider useful and I reject what might go against logic/my values/is conflicting with itself…
Since I was raised christian I would study only bible (from religious texts) since I think there are enough wisdom in it to study for a lifetime.
However this would not be the only thing I would read. Most of the time I would read other books. Maybe some philosophical ones and if I would get a hand on some books from other religions I would probably read it.
