I wish I had been collecting the various interpretations presented on these threads. Each and every poster who presents an explanation for some passage does so with such complete earnestness -- declaring that failure to believe this particular interpretaion puts your soul in mortal peril -- and each contradicting the interpretation of other posters.

Er, actually there is such a collection. I started it and have been asking others, for several years now, to post their own views to make it a collection of Freeper views on Origins

That's cool. I have nothing against opinions and interpretations, as long as they're held as speculation rather than commandments. Speaking of commandments, wouldn't there be a commandment to accept a certain interpretation of the Bible if it were a requirement for salvation? I mean this seriously.

Banning the bible is already here, at least certain "offensive" passages, in some countries. This trend appears to be spreading. The next logical step is outlawing Christianity altogether, then martyrdom.
