This is a fair and reasonable statement; however, as a professed Christian you leave reasonableness behind when you claim to know what this outside explanation is. The truth is nobody knows, least of all those ancients that penned your precious tome. Combine the moral dicta of bronze age control freaks with just a pinch of smug arrogance parading as certainty and you concoct a toxic brew intoxicating the most susceptible among us. Sadly, there are plenty of gullible people you can defraud of 10% to perpetuate the scheme; however, there are now enough of us not subject to death and total social ostracization to ensure your ranks will decline exponentially.
