A very full and eloquent answer to Iona's last (rather ...ahem! ... 'startling')post, Penny - if I may say so?

You wrote: "You either use the Bible as a source and stick to it, or you are doing what you accuse others of, and making special arguments."

I don't think she's making "special arguments" (that's being too kind) - I think she's just making it up as she goes along!
