  Splitting hairs, don't you think?

  Yes, but lets keep this JWesque illustration ball rolling!

  If someone says that my brakes are sh!t and there's too much cr@p on the windows to see out. What should I do? Hop in the car and race away in a tearful rage saying that I'd been bullied, and that he should have talked with a more nicelier tone to me about my car? Would I melodramatically tell everyone that I'd been told that my entire vehicle was pronounced bullsh!t?

  I don't take offense that easily. I'd take a closer look at the actual situation. And if my brakes were 2000 years past their useful life and the windows were a mess, I'd be prepared to thank whoever pointed it out.

  My cat, however, has another opinion...

  I warned you about the brakes...

  

  Now I'm off-topic, huh?

  In all fairness (is there such a thing?) the only people actually committed to keeping the LAW (and all those wacky details of OCD observance) were

  Jews who had presumably embraced a covenant. Nobody else was required to do anything except what was right in their own eyes.

  It isn't so much THE BIBLE that tells us (who is "us"?) we have to do this or that nutty thing. It is the history of a particular time and place and people

  serving as a puppet show being held up as an example. The BIBLE merely reports it.

  Christians claim to be free of the Law while insisting the 10 commandments be posted publicly and revered! How confused can they be?

  Nobody who believes anything knows much at all about the details of their own belief, it would seem.

  All this time I had visualized Bizzy Bee as a crackpot middle age man sitting in his BVD's eating Cheetohs and cut and pasting diatribes.

  Now, I suddenly discover Bizzy Bee is none of that--but--a gorgeous woman!

  Jeezus Christ! Now I have to go into my head and scrape the walls and freshen the room I'd locked BB in unwittingly.

  I don't understand why it makes a difference to me--but, it does.

  Terry- that is what is so nuts (BS) about Romans.

  tal, I think letting a cat drive a car is bullshit not something we should take literally.

  Am I getting the hang of this?

  Romans is a real piece of OCD eruption. I put it up there with the Unibomber Manifesto for brilliant weirdness empty of rational sense.

  ummmm, Terry, that is Martin Sheen and his wife, but Bizzy IS a woman, and I think she is hot, if she bears any resemblance to her sister.
