- Oh. A bible--a book that some people base their religion upon. Does
- your quote come from the same bible that has that B.S. about
- eating shellfish and wearing fabrics of mixed fibers and also some
- pretty strong penalties for adultery? I've heard that that same bible
- calls for rejecting the early holiness code from the area that you mention.
- There's also rumor that that bible which has somewhere between 5 and
- 10 references to what some people interpret as same sex activites
- also has around 300 references to opposite sex activities.
-
- Are all religions based on that book? If so, how do they choose
- which items actually apply and which do not?
-
- It is interesting that people who use this bible in a certain
- fashion are free to practice that religion. However, many of those
- same people want to deny that freedom to persons of other religions.
- How does this work?
