Excellent points. The Holy Bible says what you need to hear at the time you need to hear it. A lot of people that haven't read it, would be amazed at the convicting power it has. And you can read the entire work in 66 days - one book a day. Can be done - I did it. Haven't been the same since.

Thank you oh so very much for your testimony and encouragements!

Indeed, the convicting power of the Bible is amazing. I would that everyone would read it - or at least the Gospel of John.

Hrrmph... I've read it end-to-end more than once in my life, and was immersed in it for my entire childhood as well. It didn't do diddly for me, so I don't bother any more. I've always been well-read, and that was a mediocre book with a dubious message that simply didn't have much sticking power for me. I must have been born without that illusive "God Module".

That said, I think Heinlein's "Time Enough For Love" contains as much wisdom as the Bible, and in a better and more consistent format. Of course, I wouldn't base a religion around TEFL, and I'm not sure you could even if you wanted to. But I digress...
