Er, Okie, you made a link to MY post, and claimed I claimed 9 million heretic murders in the 17th c.

I did no such thing; nine million is the best guess estimate of the total over several centuries.

I do not like being misquoted.

Dearest Fiona, about the rib thing:

It has been suggested that this bad translation (surprise!) should have been "side." The original human was divided in two; half male and half female. The very earliest Hebrew God stuff supports this.

Love to everyone, MAG
