How often do you read the scriptures?
 

eom

Never all the religious knowledge I need is right here on CG.

This poll could be most telling, were the results reliable.

My reading ebbs and flows. I can go for weeks without reading, then get on a roll and read a half hour a day for a while.

Daily.

I haven't missed a day in years.

If, however, I relied on mindless LDS "commentaries," I'd probably be bored, offended, or just generally unmotivated.

With the rare exception, LDS manuals and scriptural "commentaries" are an offense to sunny spring days, puppies, and children playing in the tide pool.

Rare is the day I miss, unless I'm in transit. The oxford commentaries are worthwhile but most LDS commentaries outside of something such as Gileadi's Isaiah commnetaries are NOT worthwhile.

It almost seems as if most LDS manuals were written by Sister seminary who's trying to motivate Johnny not in attendance to crack open the scriptures.

Maybe we should revise the poll to say, "How often do you read the scriptures for non-academic purposes?"

So now the mullahs wish to grade our righteousness not only frequency of reading scripture, but on the approved purposes for reading scripture?

That should be an interesting temple question.

Paranoids see this question as an inquiry about righteousness, others see it as a pertinent question about method.

*shrug* Just curious.
