I tried to read it through, but a stain on the carpet ended up being more intriguing.

Doesn't the local mosque or outreach center give them away for free?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Oh yes, and Pappa - when you go round to collect one, make sure you have a really bad itch on your arm that you just have to pull your sleeve up to scratch as you turn to walk away. Yes - just there. :hehe:

Also ask if "he is made from a gushing fluid, which emanates from between the ribs and the loins" and ask if he volunteers for an experiment, castration followed by seeing if he can fertilize an egg :biggrin:

But you're probably reading it in the "wrong" order, and in the wrong language, so it's no surprise it doesn't read right. :dunno:
That's the trouble with all them bibbles. And even the words do not mean the same 1000-2000 years later.
