Doonesbury Trashes Evangelical Hypocrites

Headstone of the corner, hugs.  It's actually a brilliant metaphor. I don't see why you're compelled to butcher it on behalf of pyramidiocy.

It;s the part of the rubble construction that ties two intersecting walls together and it's instrumental in the structural support of all those other rocks.  You know....like our lord and savior.  The passage expresses that a uniquely capable stone had been cast into the rubble, but that it would now be used to build a great and strong building.  While this may sound like esoterica to the modern reader..it was common knowledge at the time of the narratives composition.  Literary competency at it's finest.

You'll find alot more of that sort of imagery in magic book..constantly going on about pillars and great beams.  They're not planning houses.  Magic book isn't a site schematic........or a treatise on doors.
*emphasis mine*

'Head stone' not 'headstone'

Quote:Psalm 118

22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

Since you admit that head means 'top', why can't you figure out that verse is speaking of a 'capstone' as I put it earlier?
