Many things about the history of the bible are VERY interesting, the other books that were left out, the mistranslation of some texts.

Shoot, the commandment, THou shalt not kill is a PERFECT example, it is actually Thou Shalt not Murder. BIG difference.

Also, allegory has ALWAYS been a huge thing in religion, because you are trying to understand motivations, learn the morals etc, not that the story was literal and that you have to prove it happened, because it DIDN'T, it is a story by a leader of a religion trying to teach a lesson and reach the spirit within, not the brain.

People tend to forget this and try and prove a story literal, when it was NEVER meant to be literal.

Anyway, we can discuss this on another thread, and at another time, I need to get the car packed and hit the road. 5 days of fishing, camping, astronomy and fun with my kids.

See you on Sunday.
