teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I don't know whether to laugh or cry?
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear. 
I like the KJV version ‘Isaac was sporting with his wife’. Makes you think they were having a game of tennis.

Caressing, making out, fondling, playing, bumping uglies... sure it could mean any of those things. You’re taking the translation that proves your point which is the least agreed upon translation. But sure, they were having sex in public, what is your point? Bible translations differ? Please let me know your point.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

The point is that it is shitty literature.
