The Like/Hate Thread

[Ashe]

What I find funny is that most people who quote the Bible have never actually read it themselves, or even a significant part of it

If we are referring to the Bible (which I agree tends to be the only one quoted), then yeah, I'd say that a lot of people quote passages all the time and haven't read it. And this if of both Christians and nonChristians as well. I was clearly surprised at just how many people identify themselves as Christian but have never read the bible itself, just going off of what their parents told them of God and thus taking it as an accepted truth and never looking into it. Its also (although not surprising at all, sadly) a large number of athiests (Usually the teenage crowd is most guilty of this, as part of the rebellion against conformity routine) that will quote parts that THEY found interesting, but if you ask them where it came from, the best that they can tell you is that they found it in someone's quote on the internet.
