I would venture to say that the vast majority of Christians have not read the Bible "cover to cover," much less multiple times.
It is weird that reading the Bible caused you to walk away from Christianity, yet you spend a lot of time quoting or referencing the Bible. It's almost as if you are trying to convert people to your atheist religion. But that is a prevalent practice among proselytizing atheists.
We both know you automatically take offense to anything I post. Having said that, no, I spend no time converting people to my non belief. I am concerned with remaining silent which allows the far right to push their religious agenda in courts which affects me. I will speak up on those occasions. I believe everyone has the right to believe what they want religion wise, as long as it doesn't impact me. That hasn't been the case so remaining silent is misinterpreted by the religious as we agree... we don't
on a personal note. I would not actively try and talk someone out of their belief in a god or gods. I was there. I understand it. But if faced with the argument, or subject matter, I won't remain silent.
Its actually not weird... there is a popular bumper sticker out there that says "Atheist-Someone who has actually read the bible"... it's popular for a reason.
