It doesn’t matter whether I believe in the prophet or the story (for the record, I don’t). It’s your contention that the prophets were sent to teach us how to live in accordance with God’s vision, so I’m asking: is it God’s vision that we use bears to attack children who misbehave? Remember - it’s YOUR prophet who did this.
