It's funny how I'm an altar boy and yet I never knew of this Midianite thing or indeed many of the funny bits of the Bible until I heard Dawkins on youtube.
Had you read the bible or just heard the selected highlights at sermons?
I'm not into reading the Bible much in the first place. But I know the liturgy like the back of my hand. As an acolyte, I can't hold on to the prayer book because I'm usually holding the candlestick during the procession or clasping my hands at the altar. So acolytes know the liturgy by heart. But the Bible isn't so important.
