Everyone should read the text(s) of the dominant religion(s) in their area, regardless of beliefs so you understand the culture and mental framework of those around you.
Coming from Christianity, now atheist/agnostic, I second the “don’t bother” comment. Idk it’s got a good amount of good advice, but it’s a massive timesink & frankly I don’t respect a group of people that know the Bible backwards, forwards, and sideways but conveniently, repeatedly ignore 1/10 of the Bible that says hey, love thy neighbor & don’t be a raging dickhead.
One must wonder if it being a massive timesink was purposefully crafted as such, so it can be read/reread/studied/argued over/twisted to fit various agendas. It keeps people busy. It (SHOULD) keep them “in line” /out of trouble. And it can be used to control, manipulate the common people into doing what you want.
I should read that book sometime… clearly it isn’t as dumb as I tought, as it seems is more sane that some people that act based on it are.
It’s probably not a very interesting read if you haven’t been groomed early
The story is shit, the wording is weird and the list of characters is longer than in Game of thrones

I wouldn’t bother with it, a broken clock is right twice a day as well.
