Fine, so you studied the Bible in what I would call a fanatically religious, faith-based fashion. You would likely use different words to describe the process, which is fine.

The question remains whether you've ever studied the Bible in a secular, objective, critical fashion. Are you at least aware of the revolutionary approach to Bible scholarship that began a few centuries ago, as it was influenced by the Scientific Revolution? Are you aware there's something called the historical-critical method? Have you ever used that method to study the Bible?

Notice that that's not a trick question. You either have or you haven't. The kind of education you get at Liberty University isn't the same as what you get in a secular history department.
