The Rascal loves fights like this one over scripture, especially since polls show that most Christians know very little about what's actually in the Bible and how it got there.
Consider this: Robert W. Funk, the former president of the Society for Biblical Literature, reports in his book "Honest to Jesus" that a majority of Americans who call themselves Christians "cannot name the four canonical gospels."
Consider this: A recent survey shows that 60 percent of Americans can't name five of the Ten Commandments.
The Rascal finds that a good working knowledge of scripture comes in handy in arguments with religious zealots who don't know what they're talking about. It's especially useful in dealing with folks who say that every jot and tittle in the Bible should be taken literally (which is impossible, if you've got half a brain, mainly because the Bible has numerous contradictions).

It is fun to bait Christians with all the crazy stuff that's in that book!
Will,
If that's your idea of fun you really need to get a life.
