The book is the ...The Bible is a complicated thing. The book is the Word of God, but it is written by the hand of man. It's not as if the writers were possessed and unknowingly became scribes against their will; therefore, there is a great possibility that some of their personal peeves were entwined in the text. I suppose Leviticus (who has been argued to be gay himself) would be a good example of this with the many nonsensical laws. <br><br>Furthermore, the Bible has been translated between languages upon thousands of years. Many of the languages don't directly translate with one another, so the meaning is lost. <br><br>I'm not entirely sure what I'm talking about, so I'm going to leave the argument to you, Katy, because you've done more research than I.<br><br>Way to stay civilized, too!
