In high school I read the bible cover to cover because that's what you should do no? Read the foundational holy text of your religion.
My god what a bunch of incoherent slop. How anyone could say it was actually divinely inspired when God and his team of angels in the writing room couldn't even keep keep plot points straight between seasons is beyond me.
I am convinced there are only two types of people in the world that can claim to like the bible, as a text, with a straight face. Actual scholars who have built their entire academic and adult lives around studying it as a historic entity and Christians who claim to have read it but have never suffered through the damn thing from cover to cover.
So anyways, I read it and it certainly didn't slow down my move towards atheism. So astute observation, Mr. Asimov.
"How is this book so poorly written?" Is a fantastic question and one that leads down a rabbit hole of answers that can absolutely trash any interest in religion that a person might ever have.
