At least we agree on something. You think that making sense is too constraining.

Agreeing with you is not the base definition of "making sense".

I'll concede that there have been bigots and ignoramouses who have equated Jew with Pharisee with Christ-killer with root of Germany's problems with money-grubber with big-nosed crotchity money lender.

And why were they able to do that?

However, my assumption is that we here are at least mildly intelligent and educated people.

And do you offer a guarantee that everyone who reads and interpretes the words of the Gospels for the next thousand years will be "mildly intelligent and educated people"?

Like Torquemada?

Agreeing with my belief that a contradiction is nonsense, is.

And why were they able to do that?

This is just begging for a sarcastic response. Are you going somewhere with this?

And do you offer a guarantee that everyone who reads and interpretes the words of the Gospels for the next thousand years will be "mildly intelligent and educated people"?

Why should I? I'm not arguing with them. I'm arguing with you. Or are you holding solidarity with those who are not mildly intelligent and educated people?
