I doubt very seriously you have actually read the bible from beginning to end. Probable, your education is based on a couple of years in community college, and wekpedia.

You know, ebg... fucking up your quote tags isn't actually helping your image, there... You aren't coming out of this looking like a genius...

Doing research on Shakespeare under the assumption that his works are non-fictional and relevant to how we live our lives today is a terrific waste of time. It is precisely the same with religion. Yeah, but at least the stories in Shakespeare's plays would be more engaging and interesting than the Babble.

A fiction writer drew inspiration from a fictional work? I'm a fiction writer, too. We call that 'tuesday'.
