From here, I decided to use one of these days for my Bible reading update.
So! In the summer of 2016, on a whim, I decided to read the entire Bible, my entire reasoning being 1. Seems pretty important to a lot of people in this country 2. I know nothing about any Abrahamic religion, might as well as slightly shift that. I, uh, just finished Revelations today.
I wasn't too rigorous about comprehending every reference, beyond skimming the Wikipedia and Tvtropes entries for each book I finished. (Yes, there are Tvtropes entries. Yes, this means they labeled Michael's fight with Satan over the body of Moses a "Noodle Incident").
Adding a cut for the random notes and reactions I had, with the note that these are the flippantly earnest (or earnestly flippant) reactions of an atheist with zero relevant religious background.

That was an interesting time. I think my next text to scatter between regular book reading will be the Ramayana. That'll be interesting since I have way more prior knowledge and context there, obviously.
