I would be careful about taking a bible literally: * The bible states that slavery is OK as long as it involves people from foreign lands * The bible considers women as property * The bible states you cannot wear clothes made of two different types of fabric * The bible states that one cannot separate fruit from the seed on the Sabbath, which means you cant eat watermelon on Sunday * The biblical reference to not engaging in homosexual acts only refers to men, not women (apparently God has the same rule as the Playboy Mansion) Vince
