-Caveat Lector- well, you can look for references in the good book and discuss biblical accuracy til you explode- i was taking the piss more than actually referencing my sources for my take on jesus' lifestyle. it.was.a.joke.tenorlove.is that clear enough? but i think my version stands up- if only because it is an accepted truth in a way... that jesus was knocking around with 12 guys and a hooker- it is how it is seen- and in religious terms then that is enough really. the bible is a crock of shit if it is facts you are wanting from it. so my interpreation of what happened is as real as your version. or anyone's version. kinda. well, call me thomas but i still cannot remember him recommending dogma and beatings as the way to drag one's kids up. but i am sure someone can reference it for me. and tell me this, scholars, where does it say in the bible that TV is evil? eh? eh?
