[Hermann the Cherusker]

The only absurdities are the rehearsed argument or the claim that it is not rehearsed yet they all quote the same bits spun the same way.

Its all of the Bible they really know - "sword drills" and all that. They don't have the blessing we have of covering the whole Bible at Mass and the Office on a regular basis. Without covering the whoel Bible, they know the bit parts by rote, but miss what the Bible was intended to convey.

...they know the bit parts by rote, but miss what the Bible was intended to convey.

You're developing a penchant for understatement.
