Its not that they don't read it. They only read the self serving parts of it. They ignore the parts that they don't agree with. This of course makes them false christians. They focus on the ten commandants but ignore the slavery and outright barbarism in the rest of the old testament. For the majority of false american christians its the pick and choose part of the bible. They also ignore the teaching of Jesus in the new testament. The parts that tell them to be tolerant, to not cast the first stone are reinterpreted to to take offense at anything that someone else does that they do not like. All their hate and all their hang ups are their own but they use their version of the bible to support their hate and intolerance. None of them ever question how god seems to always want what they want. Destruction.

Of the King James version.

And then they don't read King James' other books, like Daemonologie, "a philosophical dissertation on contemporary necromancy and the historical relationships between the various methods of divination used from ancient black magic." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemonologie

At least KJV is in the public domain unlike many other translations.
