7. Yes. My point is made.

Whenever I see someone who makes such a statement, I know that person is not a reader. They're just blowing smoke up people's legs.

Once, I posted a DU poll, though, asking how many people had read the Constitution from beginning to end within the past year. Not many answered that they had. As a nation, most of its citizens are woefully unfamiliar with our fundamental documents.

The same can be said of most Christians with regard to the Bible. Most Christians have read very little of it.

Oddly enough, most atheists I have met have read it thoroughly. I find that amusing.

I read the Constitution from top to bottom each year on July 4. That's an easy date to remember, and it's not a long document.

I have read the entire Bible front to back six times in my life, and much of it more often than that.

I am an atheist.
