Hmm. According to the Old Testament, it's okay to have slaves. Also, one can take one's disobedient children to the city gates and stone them to death. I don't think even the Jane would condone that (except in the case of screamers). If I touch pork, I should be killed. If a man's brother dies, the man must take the widow and care for her for life. Oh, yeah, and a man shouldn't sleep with another man. Forgive me, oh Lord, if I don't take all these rules too seriously.

Props to Chuck Whatley.

There was a kid in the restaurant where we had dinner tonight that could be a candidate for being taken to the gates....

Have you been reading Leviticus? (for those who've never attended Catholic School, that's one of the books in the Bible)

I'd always thought it was a given that we shouldn't listen to the Bible. Why does it even merit discussion?

hear hear! why i tend to scoff at any arguments involving 'it's in the bible!'. besides, you can find just about anything and everything in the Bible except maybe a recipe for chocolate cake, making it easy to support lots of different sides to any argument.

Genesis 4:12
And then God said, Let there be frosting! And there was frosting. And it was chocolatey.

Yeah, so now I'm impersonating the Bible. Actually, I think that's bastardized Matt Groening material ... but that's a fact we're going to ignore, just like the Bible itself.
