Kind of makes sense. Once you learn all about the bible it’s pretty easy to come to the conclusion that it’s all just a bunch of bunk!

One can say the same for the written sacred books of every religion.
Faith is a tricky subject and the ignorant can find fault or reason for ridicule in every single one.

If they are so confident that exposure to Scripture discredits it why do they fight so hard to keep people from being exposed to it?

That should be obvious.
The concerted attack on all religions in the United States tracks perfectly with the rise and preeminence of the pervert culture. Vampires and silver bullets.
Dig through the rhetoric and you'll always find the HGLT freaks, in and out of government.

The number of facts you can memorize is a distraction.

I totally disagree.
Blind faith and Ignorance may be considered noble by some, but it makes you defenseless against the attackers of faith. Their selected facts can't be effectively refuted by faith alone.

St Augustine, Maimonides and C.S. Lewis would disagree with you.
