Oh, so you're saying that we shouldn't interpret the Bible literally? (not picking on you HM). Tell that to the religious fundamentalists who just love to throw "it says in the Bible" justifications for everything that's convenient for their beliefs.
A book written by many men over many centuries and interpreted by many more over many more centuries ostensibly to be "the word of God". Says who? It's a fucking book just like a million other books....based loosely on historical fact and greatly aggrandized to suit the political needs of the time.
Sorry....don't mean to hijack this thread into a Bible thread but when people start quoting scripture....


:dunno:
