Kid, on Easter, finished Bible (NIV). Unlike other books, this one took her several years. Bible is not a book to finish in one sitting. I attempted the same, when I was just a few years younger than she is today. I probably skipped many pages, but did finish.
We did not raise kid to be religious, but she is not an atheist either. Many of her friends are devoted Christians. She went to churches with them, not regularly and not to worship either. Faith is clearly not a big part of our family life. It is also not the topic of this post. The book is.
An long-time friend, in his 70s, visited me several years ago. He observed religious activities in my house, made assumptions, and proceeded to save me. My biblical knowledge surprised him, so were my strong opinions on theological topics. At the end, he said, “No reasonable people will insist that Bible is literally true.”
Not doing so is a necessity to faith.
