Yep, I spent 40 years in that brainwashed haze and memorized the whole craptastic book.
Then you wake up one day reading a part of it, and the only sane reaction is "wow that's stupid". And you read another part and the only sane reaction is "wow that's positively evil". And it just snowballs from there. So GC, keep those rose-colored glasses welded to your head. Because reading the Bible creates more atheists than anything else.
I very much doubt you memorized the entire Bible, if you had you would know God doesn't expect man to put on rose colored glasses, what He does expect is that we read and study the Bible so we can learn and pray when we do not understand certain things asking Him to give use a clear vision of what is written.
Reading the Bible doesn't create atheist, it is the hardened heart that denies what the Bible says and by your attitude it's very easy to see you have hardened you heart toward God. Why I do not know. I do not wear blinders I have questioned God about some things in the Bible and asked Him to show me what I was missing and generally that is exactly what happens.

Yep, that the standard answer from every preechur. An atheist claims to have been made to memorize Bible verses every day from the age of 5 until leaving for college. The preechur immediately screeches that this person HAS to be lying. And that they're reading it the wrong way. "It works for MEEE!!!! God talks to MEEEEE!!!!!" Well sure, if that's your mindset, that's what you are going to believe. And the idea that someone could have been completely immersed in the Bible for 40 years and then wake up is freaking threatening, isn't it? There is something desperately WRONG with this person!!!!
