The New Testament has some value as it contains an account of the ministry and Atonement of Christ, but the bulk of the Bible is a waste of time; given what can be found in the other standard works.

Flame away.


P.S. God did forbid Nephi to write down his vision that was also recorded by John the Beloved in Revelation, so I'll concede that book has value too.
You're joking, right?
