So much of the average person’s understanding of Christianity comes from sources other than the Bible. That is true for Christians and non-Christians alike. It is a really interesting phenomenon. So many arguments over things that are essentially unrelated to the actual debate people think they are having.

I often wonder if all Christians spent the time to read their holy book, how many would still believe by the end. Reading it was a big part of my acknowledging I was an atheist, right up there with witnessing the hypocrisy of the church in real time. And reading the passages the preacher tells you too doesn’t count, it’s straight up cherry picking.
