ORIGINAL: thompsonx If you get to quote fairy tales as a valid source of factual data then a batman comic would also be a valid source of factual data? The bible is not a fairy tale, It is a history book and collection of letters. You seem to think that it contains nothing but a series of stories and fabrications, except the stories it tells it actually have real locations, fit actual time tables, and contains passages which speak of events which actually occurred. In many cases they often attribute very rare, but entirely natural, occurrences to the work of the Divine. quote:
ORIGINAL: thompsonxIt is called involuntary manslaughter and the victims familyt recieves a cash settlement. Jesus you are phoquing stupid. Did i say involuntary manslaughter? No - i said you could legitimately kill people in certain situations. In Roman Law (which is when a majority of the bible takes place) a Roman Citizen could legitimately slay the husband of his daughter and would suffer only the consequence of having to pay a small tribute, often in the form of livestock or repayment of the dowry, as recompense for the slain son. Lex Iulia & Lex Papia Poppaea So does the great gatsby. still a work of fiction. So does Judas, my Brother. And en exact parallel to the bible and based on real events, and fiction like its other story line partner. and I could go on but.......
