Bible is like the Constitution. Some people don’t read it.
People only read what they want to take out of anything. Scientific reports, government policies, laws, philosophical essays, books, etc.
Saw it happen all the time. I use to work at the court house that was open to serve the public. We had at least 2 different signs that said “We are not City Hall. We do not do driver’s license, birth certificates, passports, etc…” Without fail, people would walk in and still ask about City Hall Services. People looked at the sign and saw Driver’s License, assumed that’s what we did.
This is completely false. There is a reading guide that Catholics are encouraged to follow every day. I think it traverses the entire Bible every 3 years in this manner, with everyone reading the same passages at the same time to encourage discussion.
You might be thinking old school, back when mass was in Latin.

Because they’d be atheists if they actually did. The ones who read it and stay Christians are just sociopaths.
Catholics are discouraged from interacting directly with the Bible. Priests are supposed to be the mediators between the faithful and the doctrine.
