 Satire Maru

The thing about effective satire is that it hits very *close* to the 
truth.

Thank you for reminding me of my desire to bitch-slap people who claim to 
be Christians and are a lot more hung up on Leviticus than Matthew 
chapters 5-7.  :)  (Problem is, bitch-slapping is more in keeping with 
Leviticus than that section of Matthew.)

Julia,

Your looking at that the wrong way. If you bitch-slap those purported
Christians that REALLY need lessons in humility, then you are *giving them
the opportunity* to practice Matthew 5:39: But whoever slaps you on your
right cheek, turn the other to him also. 

Your doing them a favor ;-)

Oh, a lot of the Bible has been mistranslated for political  
correctness
like that.

Matthew 16:23 is often rendered Get thee behind me, Satan, when  
anybody
who is following the story knows that it really means Kiss my ass.

I'm sure there are others.
