Well, actually, it was heard by someone as fundyish. Where in my posts do I extol a literal reading of scripture as beneficial or correct?

So do you believe, as your words appear to imply, that hate thy neighbor and critique and dis the shit out of them, disregarding your own huge flaws (I presume) is the eternal wisdom and the opposite is bedbugs.

I love them too. As well as that blood thirsty jihadist extremist, fundamentalit Islamic militant (well thats redundant in your eyes) Rumi. I love many people.
