Dr. Laura and the Bible
I haven’t followed the Dr. Laura controversy very much, but this still made me laugh.
Funny or not, the letter is quite on target, for while I certainly respect the manner in which others choose to worship (or not), and how they choose to interpret the Bible if they are so inclined; I start having trouble when they use a literal interpretation to tell me how the world should turn. The phrase “It says so in the bible…” makes me cringe in a real kneee-jerk kinda way.
So, one afternoon, I sat down and read Leviticus. All of it. And I have only one thing to say to people who expect it (the Bible in general, that book in particular) to be taken literally (in this, or any, day and age): Huh?
Go on, read it yourself, and then tell me what you think.
Liquor Treat planning party/meeting tonite! (Liquor Treat is kind of like a progressive dinner party, expect you have to come in costume, and you drink instead of eat. Each house features a different drink.) It is a several-years-old tradition that MR and I are proud to participate in - details to follow.
