Reply #7: As a very lapsed Presbyterian [View All]

who hasn't read The Bible in decades, I'm always amazed at how well my Sunday school knowledge has held up in comparison to my fundy co-workers. Do they even read The Bible? Seriously. I know they attend church and Bible study. But when many of us bring up passages in The Bible which contradict their beliefs, they're totally ignorant of what we're saying. We have to show them where in The Bible their views are directly contradicted. And they cannot show us where in The Bible their views are sanctioned.
My suspicion is that ministers are interpreting The Bible for their flocks without the flocks doing any actual reading.
Thus, the widespread ignorance of what The Bible actually says. So, when a fundy says "It's in The Bible." Ask them to show you where.
