40. Have you taken the Pew Research test on Religion?
Atheists and agnostics scored the highest followed by Jews and, strangely! Mormons. Protestants came next and Catholics dead last. You committed the unpardonable sin--you actually read the bible. Most Protestant churches just listen to the pastor cherry pick a couple of verses and expound on his interpretation and opinion on them. The pastor generally didn't read the entire bible himself in seminary school, if he even went to it. And they mostly like reading from the Old Testament. Catholic priests read almost exclusively from the New Testament and preach selective dogma. The flock concentrates mostly on the dogmatic teachings (Virgin Mary, Trinity, miracles, saints, Annunciation, etc.). But, reading the bible where it teaches about Jephtha sacrificing his own daughter, a pregnant Tamar being sentenced to burning, infanticide, genocide, sanctioned rape, incest, and every brutality known to man, was what turned me into an unbeliever. Strangely, when you mention these verses to Christians, they look at you disbelievingly and say: "The bible doesn't say that!"
