The Fundamentalist's bible says "Holy Bible" on the front cover. Many folks
don't know that on the back cover, in invisible ink, it says "Unholy Babble."
The Fundamentalists read the unholy babble. The unholy babble is read
backwards and many confused conclusions are drawn from it.
The bible is practically a paean to freedom. Look up "freedom" and "liberty"
in a concordance and you will be drowned in references. No, my friend, the
verses do not exalt slavery or bondage but freedom. Look up slavery and
bondage and the references, with one exception, speak disparagingly and
sometimes alarmingly of these. The exception is that we are urged to be
slaves or bondsmen to God so that we never think of ourselves as in servitude
to others. My God, man, wake up! You are living in a delusionary world.
Seek help. Save yourself.
