Maybe James Dobson isn't "holding out" as much as you and your revisionist ninny friends are blaspheming Holy Writ. Maybe he shouldn't be defending a Bible that has endured 500 years; maybe you should be defending one that tries to read like Marvel Comics.
Is the command "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God . . ." so fragile that it is impaired by loss of the masculine tone?
First of all, there is no "masculine tone" to that commandment. None. It is symptomatic that that charge exists only in your head.
Secondly, is the place of women so fragile that they can't celebrate the feminine heroism in the Bible and leave the masculine virtues intact? Are women so petty they must recast God Himself to suit the whims of a vacuous minority?
Maybe I blinked or something, but I sure don't recall redsoxallthewayintwothousand2 (or his/her ninny friends) blaspheming anything. Another thread perhaps?
