I suspect that most of 'em read the bits that have been selected by priests, pastors etc. Cherry-picking is endemic among the religious crowd.
Anyway, its a great story superstarr. You escaped religion by thinking for yourself. Well done.
One of the students in there happened to be a childhood friend and told me "The bible is NOT to be read literally!! You got kicked out because you weren't reading it correctly." Then I told her "Well, the only way for the things in the bible to have been real life happenings, each and every other word needs to be consistant with every other word. And as you can see, the words aren't." She then replied, "as long as you have faith in the stories, they are true regardless of consistancy."then I told her "Aw shut up. I'm tired of hearing all of these 'Fairytale speakings'." We are still friends, but it's like she's been trying to revert me back or something.
