The Bible

[tame_deuces]

I've read it, discussed, referenced it and thought about it. As an atheist and a future scientist who enjoys discussions about stuff that is 'larger than life' (whatever that means for an atheist anyway) I think it is important to know the big religions well.

One can easily pick out the ones who hasn't read it, hasn't tried to understand it or have prejudices against it in any debate regarding christianity.

I think it is difficult to take a man seriously in a debate regarding fundamentals in christianity if he hasn't read the bible.

And the non-readers are just as many on the religious side as they are on the non-believer side in the discussions, so this isn't an argument one could in any way use to 'support' different sides in such a discussion.
