Hello.........I thought someone else might be interested in this.  I was raised a christian and I decided that I wasn't buying into it at around 16.  I didn't really think much about it.  I was forced to go to church untill I was 18 and I was sent to an evangelical "boarding school" for a year when I was 17.  That really made me hate the church.  Any way I am a few years older and haven't really thought much about it untill about a year ago my younger "atheist" brother decided to go to bible school to become a preacher.  I am trying to discourage him and your site has been very informative in researching various arguements....But he brought up a good point - I haven't read the bible in 7 or 8 years and he thinks I take everything out of context.  So I am reading it straight through again.  It is so different than I remember it being.  When you are a christian it is so easy to gloss over anything that doesn't seem moral or right.  So I found a website called blogging the bible.  It is by a jewish guy named David Plotz of slate magazine.  He has an excellent comontary.  Here it is  http://slate.com/id/2141050/.  I thought  others might enjoy.
