For those on this forum who criticise the Christians and Muslims, who has actually read the Bible or the Quaran (Koran) from beginning to end?

I'm Christian (LDS specifically). I have read the KJV Protestant version of the Bible completely more than once, the KJV Apocrypha only once, have read the Qur'an completely more than once, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures just once, the Book of Mormon a number of times, the Doctrine and Covenants of my denomination a few times, the Doctrine and Covenants of the Community of Christ (they used to be called the RLDS) twice, some of the Analects of Confucius, some Buddhist scriptures, and some Taoist scriptures.

As you can tell, I like the genre. I hope you don't mind me answering your poll since I don't think I've criticized the Christians and Muslims here.

Ive read alot of the new testament so I guess only christians are fair game.

Saying that Ive yet to read Mein Kampf so I should probably stop giving Hitler a hard time. After all it is completely ridiculous to critiscise an organisation/person's actions without first perusing their literature. Axtually I better go read Mao's little red book cos last week I called him a monster and I guess I didn't really have the proper insight to make that statement, just looking at what he did and all.

One who has any spiritual sense at all should not unnecessarily criticise any major religious tradition per se.

However, those who flagrantly misinterpret, use, and abuse religions for material gain should be targeted for criticism (or criminal prosecution if warranted...)

What about those of us who criticize only Christians and have read the bible more than once? I tend to mock what I really know about.

Did you read the Greek myths before you dismissed them as nonsense? Have you read every book by Dawkins, Betrand Russell, Christopher Hitchens....
Anyway I've read every book, there's no God, Jesus had a baby,Ron marries Voldermore, get over it.

I've read it (the bible). Parts are interesting (from an anthropological point of view), parts are nauseatingly stupid, most of it is intuitively absurd, and on the whole it confirmed to me that you'd have to be willfully ignorant and delusional to actually take it seriously. For me it's about on the same level as reading Greek mythology, except a lot more sinister since people actually subscribe to it in the modern era (that, and I think Greek mythology is infinitely cooler than Jewish mythology anyway)...
