It's hard for me, feels like totally unrelated parts are patched together. Tons of contradiction and archaic views even on a single page. But I never read more than a page at a time I always put it back as something I should not waste my time with deciphering what they meant.
It's difficult if I take it as something I'm meant to believe. I always get that tug in my stomach.
It's interesting as a reflection of culture, of which religion takes a prominent part in much of history.
I see it like viewing the works of a renaissance artist. Perhaps not as brilliant but similar in that a lot of works have religious themes but your beliefs, what they may be, look past the religion to consider it as part of the work itself.
