Mini Rant: Why do the makers of this meme think those who read the Bible should be forced to read other books?! Clearly a lot of people who read/have read the Bible do read other books. Labelling those who believe in God as stupid and naive is real pet hate as me. I always feel like thumping people who gasp in horror and say "I thought you'd know better, you're a medical student. Surely you understand it's all rubbish...". Not very Christian I know, but seriously one day someone who says that to me will probably get their head bitten off.
