The how is what people do to live. the means to survive. not everyone wants to eat berrys and potatoes, some of us like meat. metapysical philosophy on god and the universre it pointless dead end conversation that leads to no food being on my plate so its a waste of my time. give me a means of survival that meet my requirements with benifit to all mankind, or stop talking. better still stop trying to place blame on a goverment that gives you the means to even talk to me in such arrogant and disrepectfull ways. what have you done latley except start a pointless topic. get out. |

| Not much, except for some Bible excerpts and Buddhist texts. |
| I love going through religious beliefs because they inspire me to make stories or works of art. I usually go through that kind of stuff only if it interests me enough, but I just don't make it part of my own beliefs. |

| I honestly don't have a particular belief or train of thought that inspires me most. I tend to jump from each belief and their perspectives; Buddhism, Christianity, Atheism, etc. When I write, I write stories with some of those beliefs held to different characters and exemplify the issues and influences it has on the plot, etc. Same goes for art. That's kind of my thing, I love learning from different perspectives and creating different POVs.. |

| Fell asleep while reading the bible while reading through the genealogy bits. I don't care who begath who! Please, for the love of God, cut those parts out! Like in ''good old times'', make a council and revise the book by voting on stuff, just like when it was decided witch gospels to include. |
| I read the part in the bible about the Apocalypse...that was about it. I found it interesting, but I don't know if I believe in it happening or not. |
| None my sacred and holy books are shoujou romance mangas. |
| Sig deleted for being obnoxious. |
| Read a lot of them. Perhaps too much. It made me realize a few things that can't be conveyed with mere words; but I do agree implicitly with this : If you meet Buddha on the road, KILL him. 'Nuff said. |
| Had to read the bible alot when I was young for religion class, since I lived in the Philippines before. Other than that, a couple of passages from others like the Koran, Popol Vuh, Torah,etc. for understanding history. |
Score Criteria: |
| Read the Bible once, it made me question the existence of God. |
 |
| i read the wiki page of the bible |
| I read the bible. Fairly entertaining read, I can see how it is so popular. I think people take it a bit seriously though. |
 |
| I read the Bible (including the Torah). I think some of the stories are pretty fun when re-written by more entertaining authors, but the endless genealogies, lists of all the foods and measurements, and extremely un-elaborated style of the actual Bible bored me to tears. Glad I read it, though parts of it were rather offensive to me. I read the Dhammapada. Nice, quick read. Most of it is common sense, but there's a number of insights that really spoke powerfully to me. It always manages to calm, center, and relax me. Also read various Buddhist sutras and discourses. I read the Tao Te Ching. It is my absolute favorite spiritual text. I read it over and over again. The inherently vague and paradoxical nature of the Tao Te Ching makes it difficult to translate, but I've read several versions. My favorite is the translation by Ellen M. Chen which keeps all the references to "darkness" (it's a very dark-centric book, really!) and has a very thorough commentary that talks about the many interpretations of the original words. I read the Book of Coming Forth by Day. It is the Egyptian guide to the afterlife. Very interesting! Lots of great hymns to the gods. Also read other Egyptian hymns to the gods and translated stories. I read some translated Homeric hymns to the gods as well as translated stories and hymns to Inanna from ancient Sumer. I intend to read the Tibetan Book of the Dead sometime, too. I started to but got distracted. I tried reading the Bhagavad Gita a lot time ago, too, but I don't think I finished. Need to read that again. I also read many other mythologies, such as of the Norse, Greeks, Celts, Slavs, Hopi, Navajo, etc... not in the original (or translated) form, though, only retold. I like learning about religions! ^_^ |

| I should read more of the Bible given how I'm a Catholic and all. :[ |
| The bible, including the jewish version. |
 |
| Being a regular high school student, I have been forced to be taught in religions. Hence I have read stuff from the Quaran, Bible, Buddhist scripts, Existential and other religious texts. Ask me if I remember any of it though... |

| ^Wth are with your posts in GD.. ------ Solcoud said: The bible, including the jewish version. Isn't that the same thing practically? LOL I mean, the Old testament is what the Jewish use as a bible isn't it? The Hebrew scriptures if you want to give it another name. --------- I've read the bible references many times in school and tried to interpret them (I go to a Catholic school though I'm fairly nonreligious). To me it's not exactly that good at teaching lol. |
| Yes. The Bible to be exact. I've only read a few books and I go from time to time to the songs, psalms, proverbs, etc. books if I have nothing to do or if I feel like it. That's pretty much it. |
     |
Potato~! 
| i dont read ny holy books or sacred texts |
 |
| I have a Bible at home, a graduation gift from the faculty of my primary school. However, I don't read it. My parents put me into a Catholic school not because we're religious but because the overall quality of education was higher. To be perfectly frank, when I read a children's version of the Bible with major stories and illustrations, I liked it. I was also young and they sugarcoated a lot of things to make them easier to digest. I've seen some passages from time to time that make me cringe. I understand that those passages would not apply to today's society anymore, but simply seeing them, in written form, makes me upset. I'd rather not read any of it at all. |
     I am the senpai that notices you. |
| nyone here heard of Ramayan and Mahabharat ?? they r like a hindu version of bible |
|
| I don't read any holy or sacred texts. . . |
raghunandan said: nyone here heard of Ramayan and Mahabharat ?? they r like a hindu version of bible Their not different versions of the bible. Their both major Sanscrit epics of ancient India. Their only similar to the bible in that they are made up of stories. |

| My family is for the most part Catholic (my dad is the sole exception; he's either atheist or agnostic, it's hard to tell and he's never cared to explicitly state which he is) so I've read parts of the Bible. I know the more well-known stories of the Old Testament (e.g. Adam and Eve and the Garden of Eden, Moses and the freeing of the Israelite slaves, etc.) and I've read almost all of the New Testament. I also took a World Religions course so I did read some snippets of certain sacred texts. However, I don't really remember a whole lot about them. I just remember the overall concepts of each religion we covered =/ |
SaraSlurpsCoffee said: The bible's actually got some interesting stuff in it, though I'm put off by the fact that it sounds like it's been written by a five year old. The language or the content? Also, what version did you read? There's tons and tons of versions. The Bible and parts of the Quaran/Koran. |
 |
| I'm reading the Upanishads right now. |
| "When he will, the weary world Of the senses closely curled Like a serpent round his heart Shakes herself and stands apart." - A.C., Equinox I/I |
| Ive read the Bible a couple of times and a lot of Religious books :) and it was pretty neat, especially the revelations. lol |
     Thank you to Cyruz-chama for patiently helping me with my siggy ;) |
| Touched mainly Tanakh (Old Testament). Read all of Torah and about half of Nevi'im (stopped after Melakhim). Didn't really read Ketuvim. Even though I'm far from being Atheist, I think of it more as of history book rather than sacred texts. Well, it's probably just me. |
 |
| No. But I like the gore and stuff in it...it's like a fairytale |
| I tried reading the Bible. I got bored. Although, I would like to read about Yin and Yang someday. |

AssesOfFire said: Victoria's Secret lol Bible, Quran, and I Ching. |
 |
| Read the Bible, some Buddhism texts. Also the Quran for comparison with the Christian culture / belief. It's quite interesting if you pick a certain sensitive area to start comparing and see the history of human civilization. It's actually continuing to change right now. |
| I've been wanting to read some of the Bible for a while, but I've got other books, more pressing ones, on my hands right now. |
| Read the Bible. A part of the Book Of Mormon. Would love to read the Quran. As well as the Hindu sacred texts. Personally I find religious texts rather fascinating. And I would like to, at some point in my life, read pretty much all of them I can find. |
| I go to a catholic school so we have to read the Bible/those parables/verses coming from the Bible all the time. |
| No. |
