I've tried, but just couldn't stomach it. It's just so retarded, it makes me want to roll my eyes and facepalm on just about every page. I've read lots of small pieces over the years, but I can't read more than a few pages at a time without getting annoyed at how ridiculous it is. It's like watching a movie with a terrible plot that makes no sense and is filled with more holes than swiss cheese - every couple minutes you suppress the urge to shout "really? REALLY?! COME ON!". There is no enjoyment in that, and I realized there is absolutely no reason for me to force myself through the entire thing.
The Bible was written to believers, therefore, a non believer is going to percieve it as nonsense.
1Co 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1Co 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.
