Christians is the reason you won't read the Apocrypha is because you are afraid you may read something?

The Eastern Orthodox follow the biblical canon of the Septuagint, which includes the Deuterocanonical books. Apocrypha come in all flavours. Some could have made it into the canon, if they hadn't been pseudepigraphal. Others are very plainly heretical. Humans have always tended to misunderstand things.
