Thread Name: Interesting bits of the Bible
Subject: RE: Interesting bits of the Bible
Jerry I once had lunch with a friend who'd had a thorough and well rounded Catholic education. He told me how one of the priest's had admonished, "Boys, never trust a Jew!" to which my reaction was, that's not bad advice, but why limit it only to Jews. My friend is intelligent AND a friend. I took the bit of history to be an element of trust in itself. I have my own problems that I can't blame on priests. Once I spent a field trip on the job rooming with a guy named Haman. It's a long story, but after flying home I visited my next door neighbor who was crochething a scarf on her front porch: "Ada, I've learned not to blame any of my problems on Christians any more."
Without looking up she replied, "That's very nice, Robo, they're still going to blame you!"

and so it goes
