Reasonable outsiders oughtn’t to be surprised at religious Buddhists reading their religious texts religiously

I found a comment from Venerable Dhammanando on Blind-faith and Blind-criticism.

Why do people expect everyone to accept these texts religiously with blind faith in miracles especially in EBT context?

I don’t think any reasonable Buddhist would expect such a thing of an outsider.

On the other hand, reasonable outsiders oughtn’t to be surprised at religious Buddhists reading their religious texts religiously.

The one who approach the texts unfaithfully is actually an outsider.
