Why is it that most Bible bashers lack the most rudimentary reading comprehension skills…?

… when it comes to quoting the Bible?
Are they truly ignorant of how one reads the different genre of literature. eg. The history sections and the narratives are NOT where doctrine is taught. Narrative tells us what people actually did, the good, the bad and the ugly. Doctrine is taught in the doctrine sections. For the more obtuse: A doctrine section will sound something like this, “Do this…” or “Don’t do this…” Understand this…” etc.
Bible bashers will say something foolish like. The Bible teaches daughters to sleep with their fathers, cause Lot’s daughter got their father intoxicated and had sex with him.

Making you wonder how the ever graduated grade school.

Or they will quote a law, that God had instituted for the Theocratic nation of Israel, and ask Christians why we are wearing clothing made out of two different materials or eating shellfish.

Is it that they are obtuse or are they unethical and know full well that they are misrepresenting the text?

Perhaps we can do a “yahoo answers” social experiment and observe those who reply here and see if they continue these practices, after being made aware, eh?

Is it Possible to Speed Read

  • Posted on July 1, 2009 at 9:04 pm

Reading Faster is an essential skill for people in the business world, or kids who want to spend less time studying. This skill seems impossible for many, but the ease of which you can learn about reading faster is very surprising. The process is actually quite simple to learn, and while you do need to use these tips frequently, many kids have found that they can read with more speed just by knowing the theory behind these tips.

Firstly, you need to know about reading in chunks. This means that you should break text down into meaningful blocks of words as you read, so that you are reading independent thoughts rather than single words. Your eyes will stop less as you move them across the page, and that will help you develop quicker reading speed on each line.

Many experts believe that you should practice reading while moving your finger along each line. This will help you move your eyes faster than you normally would when reading, and that can help to keep you going at a steady pace. While this might take you out of your comfort zone as a reader, it is very important to practice Reading Faster than you think you can. You should notice that if you pace yourself to go a little faster than you normally do, you’ll still have full comprehension.

Seems strange, but it’s effective.

A third skill to use when attempting to speed read is that you should try to develop a talent for thinking about your reading on a deeper level. The best kids can take in the lines on the page, and then process them in the back of their minds as a way of increasing their knowledge. When they do this, they are developing the processing power of their brains to take in the knowledge on the page, and make mental connections to the things that they already know about a subject, and as a result, will remember more major details and have a strong understanding of what they read.

While it isn’t easy, you must learn about reading with more speed if you want to be successful. More and more kids are learning the ideas to speed reading, and if you don’t, you’ll be left behind. Nobody likes to look like an idiot when they’re sitting in the board room, still reading the memo that everyone else has already finished, and completely unable to follow along with the new direction everyone is taking. Learn speed reading today, and save yourself all the time and hassle starting right away.

Of course, not all readers should learn speed reading. If you want to know whether or not to try, there’s a great free online speed reading test here. It’s a amazing resource that will make you get started.
