Subject: Fascinating! This shows the problems of taking the Bible literally, as do the "Witlesses" in the story. The Bible is not a historical text, or a textbook either. It is more a collection of stories, especially the Old Testament. Many of them are beautiful stories, some are gory, some are fantasies. The poetry of the Psalms is hard to excel. The Creation story is just that. I will stop here.

[> [> That is exactly how I have always felt abou the Bible...it is merely a collection of stories and to me, the validity of those stories, after being told and retold I'm sure countless times before they were ever recorded....well, you know how a story can be changed. I was, unfortunately once married to person who was taught the the Bible is the complete truth...of course they never mentioned the Other people to me in all their preaching! -- Colly, 20:55:14 08/26/03 Tue
