    What I think to be ironic is that the watchtower has spent far more paper and ink arguing whether the animal was a fish or a whale than it does on the very reasonable literary point that Leolaia has made...

    Trying with great effort to prove the story is true history by claiming to have found a Mediterranean fish large enough to actually swallow a man whole is just embarrasing.

    Leolaia - "I would guess that fundamentalists would still not recognize the literary genre of the story."

    No kidding; remember the article a few years back about J.K. Rowling allegedly becoming a Satanist? The megachurch subculture was all over it until someone finally pointed out that the original piece was published in The Onion.
