      From my limited experience, very few christians know (read) anything about the bible. I’ve talked to people who think it’s a “perfect book” to others that think “it’s the word of God, but man corrupted parts of it”, the latter never knowing which parts were “corrupted”.

      there’s another passage where some prophet was walking along and got taunted by some kids for being bald. then he cursed them and some bears mauled them to death.

      The Christian Old Testament and the Jewish Tenakh are basically the same book. “Useful Charts” has a great 7 part series about who wrote the Bible that I found fascinating as a non-believer. The book has so much influence over today’s society that I think it’s good to understand more about it even if isn’t spiritually significant to you.
