Rate yourself:
1 being you've never read it
5 being you are familiar with most of the central doctrinal material and could cite a few passages.
10 being you could recite 100 passages, know the context, know the history of the texts, know what if any archeology has confirmed or discounted which parts, know the history of the middle east and are somewhat familiar with the source languages.
I am an atheist and would rate myself a 7, (so give me a big pat on the back.)
I ask because I get annoyed when Christians assume I have some sort of fear of, aversion to, or complete ignorance of the bible.
Most atheists seem to me to be more informed than the AVERAGE Christian who basically just knows Genesis, the Passion narrative, and a few parables. (and of course the verses condemning homosexuality)
How about you?
