We're supposed to read the Bible from the mindset that we are reading words written by god. And that god will speak to us directly through what we read if we only approach the text in a prayerful manner.
Which is another way of saying "don't you dare question or criticize anything you read here".
I loved Cecelia's deconstruction of the Storm account. It ticked off all of my "you gotta be kidding me" moments and added a few. The sad thing is that there was a need to do that at all. It's astonishing that people can read that account the same way that my Mother reads the bible - - as if it was holy. It's holy, alright. Just add an "e" = holey.
