The BIBLE is THE Great Book!
If you are one who doesn't believe in Christianity, it's probably because you haven't read the Bible with an open mind. To start with, there are some fun parts!
Thou shalt not exceed posted speed limits, nor shalt thou park in handicapped parking slots if thou art not handicapped, even if thou only runnest in for a paper. Thou shalt not withold money thou owest to the government. Thou shalt obey the laws so that it may go well with you. paraphrased from Romans 13:1-8 and Titus 3
Watch out who you tease about baldness. 2 Kings 2:23,24 (Lev. 13:40,41).
I try to tell my son not to be rebellious, since the Bible offers a punishment suggestion. The only problem is that I don't know who the village elders are. Deut. 21:18-21.
One of my favorite stories is of Saul's conversion. Acts 9.
Proverbs is a great book, and if you have a Bible with the apocrypha the Wisdom of Solomon and Sirach also contain great wise sayings.
If you are afraid of conversion, avoid reading and taking to heart, the Gospel of John and the books of Ephesians and Galations [attempt at reverse psychology :) ].
