I'm thinking the latter applies.
You're talking to someone who was raised Pentecostal and graduated from a Protestant school. Someone who was made to memorize a Bible passage every day and recite it before the "blessing" at dinner. Someone who had to write papers on "Biblical History" and "Bible Interpretation" for class. Someone who claimed to be xtian until past the age of 40.
My - problem, as you might choose to oh-so-ignorantly and judgmentally frame it - is that I took classes in cosmology and other sciences, comparative religion, and philosophy, and then I actually READ the book (that I still have mostly memorized) WITHOUT the mindset that "ooh, god wrote this for humanity and it's special!".
