Me too, sometimes. I think (1) the Koran may have the same problems. But
when I asked about it what I got was a load of "you're not being tolerant
enough, how dare you ask"... at least that's how I read the net net of what
I got back.
Would it were so that "Religion is the opiate of the masses"... Ope-heads
don't fight much. Rather it's the Alcohol of the masses, it fuddles thinking
and causes bar fights. That's not actually what I think, it's rather a broad
brush, unfair at the edges, etc. etc. ... but why are so many stupid people
religious and intolerant???

and not too shabby on blotter either, I can tell you that. (2)
1 - or at least suspect. Unlike the OT/NT, I haven't read it cover to cover.
2 - or was that an analogy? If so, no fair, for all you know it might be
deeply fascinating...
