You start from pretty stupid premise.
btw dont jump from plato straight to joyce. Dable in greek longer, read some horace, read bible, read short stories as they are better than novels. Try different things, and take your time

Don't think, just read it. It's not some evil plan to convert you - Bible is literally the cornerstone of western civilization and western canon. Get RSV or NRSV or ESV and read it.
