Give me 2 days to read the Book of Daniel, but I will leave you with this passage.

Sirach 20:13-15  "The wise man makes himself beloved through his words, but the courtesies of fools are wasted.  A fool's gift will profit you nothing, for he has many eyes instead of one.  He gives little and upbraids much, he opens his mouth like a herald; today he lends and tomorrow he asks it back; such a one is a hateful man."

Try reading Solomon. Wisest man that ever lived. Oh, was the above written by a cyclops? Many eyes instead of one seems a bit of an error on someone's part. Then again, it isn't scripture so it should be expected...

Well, at least he's starting to quote scripture, ever if it is fron the Koran.

If you would like a good KJV or a NKJ or an RS, I'd be more then pleased to buy it for you.

Let me know, I'm serious.
