Secular scholars showed long ago that the "Holy" Bible was far more hysterical than historical. The "supremely superstitious" are still CERTAIN that there is something to it all (certainty is, of course, required by their mysticism). Since there has been at least one request for a discussion of such things (on the net) I hereby offer my expertise (assuming sufficient interest). I study religious mythology, supernaturalism, and other related superstitions as a hobby (everybody should have one). I offer the four different writing styles (choose one) : 1. Scholarly. Like any contemporary nonreligious encyclopedia. Just the facts and critical reasoning. 2. Amusing. One verse claims that a porcupine can "sing". 3. Hard hitting. No holds barred. Acidic (pH less than 2.0). How the church attacked Ben Franklen for inventing the lightening rod and thwarting God's will. 4. Any combination of the above. 5. None of the above. In any case I will provide references, critical reasoning and evidence. This is the critical difference between science and any belief system. Not Baptized, Circumcised, or Exorcised : Micheal D.
