Sweet Jane 61 Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards has said that he doesn't like the Bible because it's boring. The veteran rocker revealed that he regularly reads the religious text to try to understand why people find it "fascinating". He told Sun Media: "I read the Bible sometimes but it bores me to death. I just want to know what other people find so bloody fascinating. "Why are they all hung up on all that, 'In the beginning' stuff? Ah, well. At least life is stable. It has said the same thing since I was a kid." Richards was speaking at a promotional event for Martin Scorsese's new documentary about the legendary rock 'n' roll band Shine A Light.

TheLizard Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 People take what Keith says too seriously, I think. There will be an uproar over this, I bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otokichi Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I wonder what the walking "Drugs will destroy you!" billboard would say about the Koran? Probably find it waay too confining. On the other hand...do we need another "Yusuf"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 I completely agree with Keith and feel the same way . I have an interest in religious texts of all sorts and what they have to say , but reading them on one's own rarely knocks me over with the same power or effect it seems to have on others .Boring , is a fair description , to say the least . I say kudos for his giving it a try , though . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel2Velvet Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I would venture that to put anything up against the life of Keith Richards, it would be construed comparatively boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
