Someone close to me is a devout Christian.

She has basically near to zero knowledge of the Bible.

All she says is that 'Jesus saves'. Oh well, we get along fine nevertheless.

It wouldn't work here because most people are aware of what's in the bible, they just dismiss it.

I would love to live in a country like that, where no one knows what's in that book, or cares, and when they find out they react like decent heathens, with shock and disgust.

Thanks for sharing!
