That sounds to me like a pathetically lame excuse, BillyGee. Perhaps everything 'sgrayatlarge' quoted is also "lost in antiquity or perverted during translation," eh? And the Ten Commandments then have also been "lost in antiquity or perverted during translation," eh? Or do you cherry-pick the Bible parts you like that suit your right wing Republican biases? Do you think Jesus would approve of torturing detaineees too, BillyGee ???
