  • Re: Request for the Rabbit

    MaryAnn: I'm looking forward to what you suggest, Rabbit (so far, all I've got is the Song of Songs), but here's another question I have -- about reading the Bible literally -- When I was doing some work with a Bible concordance, I noticed that in Genesis God creates the seasons. But later when he creates Adam and Eve, he lets them run around ...

  • More aptly, it aims for the moon and hits the neighbor's dog

    Hi MaryAnn, This discussion (here and elsewhere) is rapidly developing into something that requires more time and thought than I am able to give it. And that's too bad, because I'm interested in literally anything and everything that helps me understand better how the world works. But ''here goes nothing...'' My screwball quip in the title is ...
