Not the OP but... I read Gospels once. Or twice, actually.
The first time as a clueless teenager and it made me worry that maybe this paranormal stuff is real because so many people seem to believe it. This was probably the closest to "being a Christian" I had ever got. If you so desire, feel free to say it's crap and not what this religion was supposed to be about etc. etc., I don't mind at all. That's how I was raised by my parents - they seem to be a hard case of "belief in belief".
The second time in my twenties - it gave me some idea of how people may have come to believe in this paranormal stuff and helped me get over it.
