I was raised as a Christian and am fully aware of their beliefs and have read the Bible from cover to cover so I do know what is in it. Why do people think that if you don't agree with any of it that you are being ignorant?

Ignorance. People don't recognize that to fully reject something you have to first fully understand it.

Because some of us Christians read the Bible and to us the Truth is so obviouse that we can't understand onyone could read the same Bible and not see the truth.
Some of us are just ignorant and self rightous.
Some of us only spit out what our pastors tell us and then say it's the True word of God.
Those are your answers. I can't judge your ignorance, or knowledge, at least not from this post, but the above problems occur all the time in many religions, not just ours.

Because, for a lot of people (or at least some) when they read the Bible, it rings of perfect truth. That's how my mother describes it, anyways. It just feels "right" to her spirit, it feels like a "living word" in that, each passage may mean something slightly different, because God directs her understanding of it... something to that effect.
Regardless of what you call it, I think many Christians feel a similar effect when reading the Bible. As a result, they may feel that if anyone else reads and/or hears the scripture, they too will feel that ring of truth and become Christian.
So, by that logic, if you are not Christian, then clearly, you are not acquainted with the Bible.
That's my understanding of the phenomenon, anyway.

I do not believe you completely ignorant. However since I too have studied the Bible and the theologies I know that most of the arguments against Christianity are really based on misunderstandings. What it looks like people do is find something they think is in error and then not really research it and so they reject the whole thing and then think they are an expert on the issue and anything that is brought up to contradict them is propaganda and lies.
In short it is not that you have no knowledge of it but rather an incomplete knowledge of it and then refuse to learn because you think you already know everything.

Don't be offended. Christians even accuse other Christians of not knowing the bible. The Once Saved Always Saved Folks say the people who believe you can loose salvation do not know the bible. the tongue speakers say that non tongue speakers do not understand. so what it boils down to is if you do not believe their way, you do not know the bible.

Agree, to an volume. yet this quote incredibly, incredibly demands the unique context, which it style of feels doomed to continuously stay without. this is from his essay "faith and technology." right this is the paragraph it ends: "Now, even even with the undeniable fact that the geographical regions of religion and technology in themselves are patently marked off from one yet another, even with the certainty that there exist between the two solid reciprocal relationships and dependencies. even with the undeniable fact that faith would be that which determines the purpose, it has, even with the certainty that, found out from technology, interior the broadest experience, what ability will make contributions to the attainment of the targets it has set up. yet technology can in basic terms be created via people who're thoroughly imbued with the aspiration in direction of fact and understanding. This source of feeling, in spite of the undeniable fact that, springs from the sphere of religion. To this there additionally belongs the religion interior the prospect that the regulations valid for the international of existence are rational, this is, comprehensible to reason. i won't conceive of a real scientist without that profound faith. the region would be expressed via a picture: technology without faith is lame, faith without technology is blind." His "cosmic faith," as this is named, is a feeling of ask your self and humility. faith is a metaphor for this. whether or no longer one desires this hobby to be a great scientist is controversial, yet look on the "enormous minds" of technology, which includes Newton, Darwin, and Einstein. Their breakthroughs weren't flashes of notion. Newton's apple is a fantasy, Darwin's finches are dramatically overplayed, and Einstein's theory experiments weren't fairly spontaneous. those adult adult males theory. and that they theory. while they weren't thinking, they have been interpreting and writing. What made them diverse from human beings became their profound skill to pay interest and concentration, to hold an theory for years. you won't be in a position to do this with in simple terms a "expert" involvement. it is what some call Einstein's "third Paradise," his synthesis of religious hobby and scientific empiricism.

Unfortunately this attitude is displayed by people on all sides.
Did not the bible teach humility ? Calling people ignorant or lacking intelligence would not be in line with your bibles teaching .

Actually "SIR"; it's (MORE) assumed in R & S that "if" you DON'T have God's (VERY) POWERFUL Holy Spirit; Then You WON'T Be one of Jehovah's CHRISTIAN Witnesses !
