Thank you for posting. If you only knew how many times I've heard a rendition of this story. It kinda makes me want to puke.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
