why am i reading the bible?

I have a reading list, Saint Augustine, Maimonides and Saint Thomas Aquinas is on it so I want to know what they are talking about.

Trying to read the whole bible seems impossible though: there is so much shit in it, so many pages of laws concerning animals.

I feel nothing religious when I read it.

I feel nothing when I read religious texts, it doesn't matter if it Buddhism or Islam, nothing arises in my soul.

I mean the story of Samson is entertaining in a way.

But God?

God does what?

Seriously?

I approach everything with the attitude of "seriously?"

I read Kant and Nietzsche, and also think, "Seriously?"

Read Paul's letters. There you'll find commentary on the old testament, summary of jesus, and ideas about the early christian church.

I haven't read Nietzsche and thought 'seriously?'. Bad day when I do. Damn.

What do you think when you read Hawthorne's The Artist of the Beautiful?

when have you ever felt anything "religious" ? Genuinely curious.
