The church does not want you reading the bible. Originally to discourage people, they burned alive anyone who translated it from Latin to spoken languages. They would burn you alive if they caught you making copies or reading it. Almost nobody reads it today, out of laziness, unlike the way nearly all Muslims read the Qur’an cover to cover, over and over. Today, you have the freedom the read the bible cover to cover without punishment, so long as you do not discuss your discoveries. I strongly suspect if you do it, you will not longer claim to believe every word Some of it is justtoo evil or too crazy .
