I guess it all comes down to whether or not you've read the bible, or are you just constantly thwarted solid exegetical reading of it. (because you haven't read it and just assume you are smarter than those who wrote it
Oh, I've read it sport. Cover to cover. It really comes down to being honest and distinguishing what you want it to say and what the words say. Take away the presupposition and the emotional baggage and it shows itself for what it really is.
I've seen this a lot. Atheists say they have read the Bible. That does not mean they understand Christianity (Nevis is an obvious example of this). It is impossible to understand doctrine with a quick reading from cover to cover. It takes hours of study on every doctrine to understand the nuances and technical relationship with other doctrines.
