leavingwt - speaking of pot, one would have to smoke monstrous amounts to even begin to grasp just what the fackery is going on here. Are they describing some sort of ancient abortion procedure here?
Bungi bill - use it in health, my friend.
Cheez! I always tell my children that they have a chloroform-soaked rag and a bored, complacent mother to thank for their existence.
Nomad - Possibly. Who knows? Why not. If the priest is already all up in her naughty bits, why not seal the deal. I like how the Hebrew Scriptures always speak about sex as this soulless biological act akin to pollen fertilization. Where's the passion?
J. Hofer - That sounds typical. There is so much that is conviently "left out" of those stupid Bible study "aids". Imagine having to explain to your bible study how they should be worshiping a loving God who wants to pump a woman's nether region full of "magic water" so her belly swells and her reproductive organs dissolve. That would make an interesting episode of Cheaters, wouldn't it?
bohm - I'll say this much. Not that I believe this nonsense, but let's just for the moment say that it's true. At least God actually did give a visible, idiot-proof sign of HIS verdict. Unlike the judicial committees of today, where they seem to just roll some 12-sided D&D dice to seal your fate.
