However, that has never stopped me. I've read enough of the Bible to have come across it's inconsistencies. Even if God said it = it's true, The Bible is the interpretation of God by many authors. And then is interpreted again by translators, preachers and lay readers. If you think that any book has only one way of understanding it, you've never taken High School English.
I will argue. It can be fun and it has the side benefit of getting blackballed by door to door evangelists.
