    What about a WINE (Transgaming or X variety will do) that works?

    And by works I mean REALLY WORKS.

    When you have to traverse four degrees of inference to support a particular point about a book, it's time to rethink your premise. It's just mental mastrubation to try to defend inaccuracies in the Bible by drumming up convoluted and tenuous arguments.

    The Bible is not the infallible word of God, and Christians do not claim that it is. It is a work written by men, and if error, rather than hidden meaning, is the clearest explanation for a troublesome statement, it is no slight upon the religion to simply accept that statement as being erroneous.
