You don't have to actually read the Bible to be a Christian.
All you have to do is believe in Jesus.
But one of the reasons the Bible doesn't seem to make much sense is because it's actually a collection of dozens of books written by dozens of authors who didn't know eachother over a period of nearly 1000 years......lol.
I actually did read the Bible from cover to cover and it's one of the reasons I first left the Church.
After studying the history of the Bible and how it was put together, I then left Christianity.
