About Project Bible
The Bible is pretty big. It is my intention to read the entire book from beginning to end, starting with The Old Testament and ending with The New Testament. I am using the new international version for this project.
After reading a book, I will write a brief summary using my own words. I will then write about any of the things I "just don't buy into" or understand, questions, comments, thoughts, etc.
Why?
I hope to have a greater working knowledge of the books that influence so many people in this world. I am not looking to adopt a religion, become "closer to God", or change anyone's beliefs; I am merely looking to educate myself.
About Me And My Beliefs
I am a 22 year old female from central Indiana. My mother is Jewish and my father was born Catholic. I was not raised with any religion whatsoever. My experience with organized religion has been a small handful of Christian church services and several encounters with evangelists.
I am happily Agnostic. I don't believe that there has to be an answer to everything and I couldn't possibly begin to find one to the great religion question. I believe there is a higher being/power (God if you will) that somehow created us and this world/universe we live in. I consider the rest to be mere details that I don't have the answers to and I believe that any "God" will understand my disposition.
For those wishing to know more about me, my other journal is

About This Community
Project_Bible serves as a personal journal in the sense that only I can make posts. It was easiest for me to make this a community so I would not have to logout of my personal journal to update this one. Like a community, I do welcome and encourage comments from all points of view on any entry that is made. Discussion and polite debate from all view-points can only help in the learning process!
