The laws of Isreal's tribes from three millenia ago do not, for the most part, apply to the modern world.[/QUOTE]
The bible is not a normal book of laws. Parts of the torah is, two or so books, but the bible is a book of truths. It has been treated as such by both sides (me and war angel) throughout this thread but then you all start questioning it's validity. The jews who believe in the literal accuracy of the masoretic text will follow it to the end. That makes them deluded? Insane? and that makes everything they say wrong? Expand that Idea logically and you get a little problem. I believe letter of the entire christian bible is true down to the yuds and iotas. Therefore everything I say is wrong. I would not argue if you said it was suspect, but to dismiss what is suspect one needs to have proof, which neither of you have. I declare as true that 1+1=2. Ergo, 1+1+!2.
You've just suceeded in destroying all math on earth.
I don't know how much farther we can go on this argument. I'm what you call a fundimentalist, you both are what is called nihilist postmodern. We are polar opposites on all issues. Ergo nolo pugnare. (I can no longer argue. we wil never see eye to eye.)
But I must thank war angel for bringing us back to the topic, and I thank you for the first real answer.
Farewell all!
