I read the Life Application Bible when I was 15, cover to cover. With my mother and my sister.
I am an Atheist, my sister believes in 'spirituality' and 'reincarnation', and my mother just believes the universe is god and it died in the big bang. The bible really ruined religion for me. Sad. My mom still talks about selling me sometimes and we laugh about how many silver pieces i'm worth now.
