:BUT Christians are the ones reading the gospels. Nonchristians don't normally choose several hours of reading something they've been taught to believe is obscure and out of date over going to see a Mel Gibson movie....
Forgive me, but I disagree here. Many non-Christians thoughtfully and willfully read Christian scripture, even using it as a spiritual guide in their lives. It all depends on the person. Many non-Christians love to read the bible, just as many Christians read the Koran, or Hindu epics or perhaps other non-Christian religious literature. What I have found more often than not is that it's the Christians who often demonstrate ignorance about their own books. Sorry, just couldn't stay silent on that one. Love ya though.
