That's delightful.

I do have to laugh at the zealots as they do pick and choose what bits of the bible they live their lives by. It's almost as if they heard someone else say something and took it as gospel without doing their own research.

I have picked up a copy of the bible, with the aim of understanding it to be able to have an informed discussion on religious arguments.

Good luck. I did Catholic school from kindergarten all the way through high school with 'religion' classes every semester. I wouldn't say my knowledge of the Bible is encyclopedic, but I do think it's better than the average Christian. The more I learned of the Bible, the more I hated Christianity but not really because of what was in the Bible. The Old Testament is on another level, but most modern Christians claim to forgo that part in favor of the New Testament and Jesus's teachings. The biblical representation of Jesus was an awesome dude, and he would despise what the Catholic church has become. He'd be all up in those mega churches whipping people left and right lol.

However, my main point in this comment is to say good luck, because the people you will be arguing against will be much less informed than you are but will believe they know everything and they WILL NOT argue with you in good faith.
