@fmfsaid Well, I answered your question, thus: I think there is not another book [or God figure] in human history that has as much historical, cultural, and moral significance as the Bible - and this forum is the appropriate venue for discussing the implications. Maybe you won't ever understand that reason for finding out interesting, but there it is - plainly stated - nevertheless.
There isn't another Book like it in existence because it is the inspired word of God.
Your interest in it really doesn't mean much unless you come to know its author. Then you'll know what's really interesting about the Bible.
Regardless of how certain your faith makes you think it is true, threats/warnings about how awful you say it's going to be for non-believers to meet your God figure after they die, are arguably the weakest kind of proselytizing there is. Save it for the indoctrination of children. Take it from me.
@BigDogg "Grievance politics is defined by the fuelling and funneling of negative emotions and various blame-based political strategies which explicitly challenge and confound many of the core principles and values that have traditionally underpinned conventional conceptions of party politics."

As in: I’m a deserving citizen and a hardworking American [replace with a nationality of your choice] and all the things I deserve are actually going to other people who are less deserving because the government is against people like me.

Cue fulminations about unfairness that reference tax, welfare, race, sexuality, age, religion, freedom, rights, culture, history, wealth etc. Found across the political spectrum, left, right, maybe less so in the "centre".
