It’s fair to say that even religious folk think that reading the Bible is weird
I went to a Catholic school and anybody who so much recognised a Bible verse was automatically in the top 10% or so.

Those who could quote the Bible or admitted to having read it were essentially regarded as freaks.

I don’t know if this just reflects man’s inherent laziness or perhaps the English trait of not being seen to try too hard. Either way, it seems a very odd state of affairs to me.

If you believe it
there's no need to read it

since it's obviously all true

[edit] aha, you make the same point a couple of posts down

So, either everyone was lying
Or only about 10% of them had gone to mass with any regularity?
