From the standpoint of a logical, free thinking adult, the Bible is not
merely a curiosity or book of fables. It is a rich, scholarly, and
accurate, ancient manuscript that should be read for many important
reasons that have nothing to do with religion.
I am a spiritual person (to those who are not), but putting that aside,
this collection of ancient works far surpasses the other ancient works
that people like to read like; "Aesop's Fables", "The Iliad and the
Odyssey", "Socrates", "Plato", or "Beowulf" without even touching on the
spiritual or religious.
This episode explains the reasons to read the Bible even if you have no
interest in God or spiritual things. These reasons are historical,
scientific, moral, cultural, sociological, and scholarly.
