enough wavy horizons in the deep desert and you would hallucinate

Paul could not sell equality to Rome, it had to be rife with miraculous
recoveries and other bogus crap miracles so, boing, Chrisitanity

You're just putting out stereotypes - straw men to shoot down.
I thought you knee-jerk liberal tree-huggers considered stereotypes as politically incorrect - it's not right to judge people based on stereotypes.
Originally posted by shavixmirThe words " thou shallt not kill" are more accurately translated " thou shallt not murder" ...there is a big difference. One has to do a little biblical research to find some of these answers.
