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.
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.
Wassup with the down voting??
it turns out “nostupidquestion” for some people means “do not post stupid questions” instead of “there are no stupid questions”.
I up voted, because I still believe the second meaning is correct and people shouldn’t worry about posting questions here.
But I have to admit, I see absolutely no relation between the “if” part and the “would you” part of this question, which makes it really weird for me.
Also the assumption that people would “stick with the Bible” ignores the “dozens” of people in the world who were not Christians to begin with… They might be a bit upset about that.
I did not vote, but the premise that I would read any religious text when I’m in jail is prepostorous.
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.
