>>Don't sweat it, jb. The entire argument is wrought with contradiction and hypocracy, and gross religious intolerance, which happens to be the the "highest" form of bigotry, imo.
Such a simplistic interpretation reduces God's Law, ....<<
You are certainly entitled to your opinion. It is my opinion that there are many out there who are an enemy of the Truth both inside and outside the church. And many of them are probably smarter and more of a deep thinker then I am. But then I don't believe that God won't work with the simple. I find that sometimes it the simplest things that speak the most loudly and persuasively. I believe that God in His wisdom choose the simple, the weak things, and the lowly things to reveal himself. "But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things -- and the things that are not -- to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him."I Corinthians 1:27-29(niv) Ignorance is not bliss but with knowledge come greater accountablility.
