People should read it but with the understanding that they are reading celestial tales.
For instance, theologians have puzzled over the following verse from Genesis 3:15:
"And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel."
This is god speaking but to whom is he speaking? He isn't speaking to Eve and he isn't speaking to the snake nor to Adam--who then? And what it even mean?
Well, if you understand that you are reading star lore, it's easy to figure out:
Ophiuchus is known as the serpent-slayer. His heel touches the ecliptic and he was a zodiacal constellation before there was Libra.
Notice he battles the serpent and his heel steps on Scorpio's head. Scorpio and the serpent are equivalent--the evil Dark Giant that seeks to extinguish the sun (the dark hours outnumber the day hours as the sun enters Scorpio's constellation). The woman is Virgo, the heavenly virgin. The sun leaves Virgo and enters Scorpio whom, according to Revelation 12:6, crouches at her feet waiting to devour the child (sun) as soon as she delivers it (remember there was no Libra then, the scales were then part of Scorpio's claws).
So there is enmity between the woman and the serpent. And god is telling Scorpio that he will "bruise" or sting the heel of Ophiuchus, so you can he see that Ophiuchus is another Orion who was also stung on the heel by the scorpion.
Today, Ophiuchus is often called the 13th zodiac sign--a twilight area where secret things happen.
Only idiots hung up on history can't make sense of the passage. As soon as I read it, I knew what it meant and I am no theologian. What's their excuse. What a waste of an occupation and education.
