Reading the Bible and thinking your going to understand it as a story is not being rational. Yeah I think everyone should read it but don't think for once you will understand it. If you where to take 10 people the firstest had the lowest ability to read and the 10th had the highest IQ they would both get the same message even if the first person read only what he could understand. I know this in the example of the first person in my immediate family and you go back two or more generations with the fewer schooling people had and you get the same results. People have devoted their entire lives to studying the Bible still knowone can fully understand the mystery. One of the best books IMO is by C.S Lewis 'Mere Christianity'. Lewis was an atheist with an incredible intellect. His book was written 1952 and still one of the best...if your like me I gotta read things two or three times before it sinks in. I highly recommend The Message version of the Bible if your gonna read and I hope you do.
