There are many reasons that so many read the Bible. Although this book is now being roundly criticized as myth or scientifically impossible this is pure ignorance foisted on the unwary. With proper study the Bible rings more true than the finest bell ever made.
4For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope.
Romans 15:4
Please, always remember that the quoted subject matter is only for your becoming acquainted with certain passages from the Bible. What comes before and after these quotes is the context of the quote and it is that context which promotes understanding.
If you listen to the ignorant you can easily be fooled into thinking that it is indeed an old mythology. In the context is what the ignorant miss their mark because they have no idea of the linkages from the first book of the Bible to the last. Only study will point this to you like a compass on a high trail in the mountains. The Bible is your compass through your life. It never fails you in difficult times by giving you hope far from the boundaries of this sad state of affairs now on this planet. It will lift you like an eagle on the winds.
