  Plenty of other works of fiction in the prison library. No need to read any religious book.

  Why would i read a religious text if i had access to an actual library?

  Is this community about proving its name wrong?

  I wouldn’t think about any religion at all.

  Well, maybe I’d read some Norse mythology. I’m not very familiar with that and some of it sounds pretty interesting.

  I would remain indifferent towards all religions.

  Are those my only choices? There are no other books than the bible or "other religions "?

  I have zero interest in the Bible beyond the initial curiosity that led me to read it 30 years ago. Once was enough.

  If the only books available to me are the texts of world religions, give me the myths and sagas of the Nordic peoples. At least they invented the modern novel and have stuff that’s entertaining to read.

  I probably would have zero interest in either unless I was bored to death.

  I happen to be in jail just now, so I can consider myself a bid of an expert on this dopic. I’ve noticed that the paper of the quaran is rougher than the average bible paper, so the answer should be clear.

  Wassup with the down voting??

  • cuboc@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I did not vote, but the premise that I would read any religious text when I’m in jail is prepostorous.

    it turns out “nostupidquestion” for some people means “do not post stupid questions” instead of “there are no stupid questions”.

    I up voted, because I still believe the second meaning is correct and people shouldn’t worry about posting questions here.

    But I have to admit, I see absolutely no relation between the “if” part and the “would you” part of this question, which makes it really weird for me.

      When a question tries to make you swallow a bullshit payload, if feels like a manipulative question rather than a stupid one.

      This post implies that the obvious norms are:

      • you already are reading the bible and believe in it
      • you would want to read it in prison, and could
      • the only alternative is to go into other religious books and religions

      If someone asks “are black people the only inferior ones, or is it the case for asian people too?” it’s not a stupid question, it’s not even a question, it’s an attack. And while there is more room for doubt in the question of the post, it is still loaded with religious propaganda which is shitty as fuck.

      Also the assumption that people would “stick with the Bible” ignores the “dozens” of people in the world who are not Christians… They might be a bit upset about that.

  I’d probably expand to the bhagavad gita or something. The bible is kind of boring tbh.

  I would stick with the Bible and read more about Buddhism.
