Do I have to read the bible to be an agnostic?

Question

Should I bother.

I'd rather read the last 2 Harry Potters.

Answer 1

Tech agnosticism is the belief that there is Something, a "maker" if you will, so no... you don't have to read the Bible to believe this.

Answer 2

You don't even have to read the bible to be a Christian.

Answer 3

Agnosticism: is the philosophical view that the truth value of certain claims — particularly metaphysical claims regarding theology, afterlife or the existence of God, gods, deities, or even ultimate reality — is unknown or, depending on the form of agnosticism, inherently unknowable.

So, shortly, nothing in particular holds the truth. It is everywhere around you, you just have to look for it.

Answer 4

Haha. LMAO at Harry Potter....Hated the 6th one.

Yea, you should. It'll help you to better understand your agnostic philosophies. And if fantasy literature is what you seek, by all means read the Bible. Who ever wrote must've been on acid or something.

Answer 5

No you have to deny God.  

Answer 6

Many christians don't even bother to read the bible. Truthfully though, by reading the bible, you'll just be stepping into atheism.

Answer 7

I don't know...  8)

Answer 8

No, but it might help if you're stopped on the road by some proselytising Christian, and you can send them packing with a few choice quotes about how contorted the Bible is - for a start, read 1 Corinthians - all of it, then practice telling them, so much for love.

Answer 9

i would read harry potter, its more entertaining, although reading the bible will make you understand other peoples beliefs better.

Answer 10

If you read the bible, you will change from an agnostic to an atheist.
