Personally, I don't like reading Job often. Although interesting, and entertaining its too dramatic even by OT standards.

The Lord would never put someone with Jobs' faith through such a trial. Never mind making a deal with the Devil.

I'll bet you've selected a bowl full of perfect cherries from the bible. Which ones do you prefer? How do you know the ones that give you inerrant truth from the ones that obviously don't belong?


Oh, and hi .. long time no see.

Ahhhhh! You know me well my furry friend! Hello!

I'm a Gospel kinda guy! I read a few of the OT books; Wisdom, Psalms, Proverbs....sometimes Sirach, for fun quotes! Like "Choosing a wife"! "A woman has to take any man, but a man must choose his wife carefully." My wife frowned a little @ me just now! LOL!

Always good to see you my friend!Wink

Fuck jesus and fuck you. Undecided

Ohh thank you soooo very much. From now on, every FUCKING time you defend anything that remotely comes out of the Bible, I'm going to post a link to this remark. In fact I may do one better than that.

You know, if I went around pushing the Bible, that'd be understandable.
Thing is, I usually only use the Bible when some other asshat tries to tell me what I believe based on it.
