People are able to drudge throigh the bible because it satisfies the viceral need to go to heaven if you read it and hell if you dont.
The bible induces lethergy when the reader does not want to believe in god

How man people here have read the bible? That shits hard am I right. And I think my problem is, that I dont believe in heaven or hell. But I imagine if I did it would be the greatest book of all time. If someone came up to you and said, "if you read this book you will go to heaven and if you dont youll go to hell." I think id really like that book. Especially if it was the only book you had access to and it so popular  that it was pretty much all that anyone was talking about. I think id read that book. Even if i didnt know how to read Id read that book. Id just start flipping the pages, hoping that if counts, wondering what the symbols mean and what knowledge the could unlock. So I guess what Im saying is, the bible could be the most popular book of all time and be the most boring book of all time
