Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

[Zeev Hed]

But there is nothing wrong for those that want to take the bible in the literal way doing so. mlsoft is not forcing anyone else to accept his interpretation.

In any event, as far as the old testament is concerned it is in Hebrew, and Hebrew is written in such a way (without most of the vowels) that a plurality of interpretations are indeed "literal". Some interpretors even go as far as using inverses and transmutation in special words (exchanging places of letter) to divine unusual interpretation of the old testament. Other look at the gimatric (letters have numerical values so words can be assigned numbers and not even unique numbers, and these numbers retranslated into other words)message that various passages in the bible may (or may not carry). That is their right as well.
