For some reason, C/P, your mention of Isaiah "53" reminded me of another discussion with a nutty fundie. He was rambling on about just that and I suggested that he should read the beginning of the discussion which is in "52." He insisted that each "chapter" was a separate story.
Shaking my head at such abject stupidity I asked him if he was not aware that these chapter and verse numberings were nothing more than a product of the Middle Ages.
He denied that and insisted that 'god knew what he was doing."
I asked him if Archbishop Langton was "god" and gave him a citation.
Oddly.....never heard from the dumb bastard again.
Maybe not so odd, huh?
