Me, I think you might have missed MY sarcasm. As for me missing yours, it wasn't relevant. The Bible, in fact, doesn't give some ridiculous (in this day and age) punishments. I was using one you gave as an example, not necessarily arguing with you, and nobody in their right mind or who wasn't looking for some misquote to attribute to you would believe that's what you meant.

Jon, I found this article? book excert? cached on Google. On the surface, it looks like he really said those things. I'd want to know what's missing, though. I'd want to see the show for context. He may have really meant what he said back in 1989. Good find, though. I wonder if anyone in the UK saw the show.
