It ain't necessarily so
i'll just start by quoting the lyrics from the Gershwin song:-
"It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so.
Now david was small but oh my
Little david was small but oh my
He fought big goliath
Who lay down and dieth
David was small but oh my.
To get into heaven, don't snap for a second
Live clean forget your faults
I take the gospel whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt
Oh jonah he lived in a whale
Oh jonah he lived in a whale
He made his home in
That fishes abdomen
Oh jonah he lived in a whale
To get into heaven, don't snap for a seven
Live clean forget your faults
I take gospel whenever it's possible
But with a grain of salt
Methuselah lived 900 years
Methuselah lived 900 years
Who calls that livin'
When no gal will give in
To no man what's 900 years
It ain't necessarily so
It ain't necessarily so
The things that you're liable
To read in the Bible,
It ain't necessarily so."
anyone acquainted with the stories in the Old Testament and bits of the New Testament will of course know the far fetched stories contained therein
they're wondrous miracles - cities broken by the sound of a trumpet, Moses parting the Red Sea, holy bread floating down from Heaven
are there anyone who thinks that these events are historical fact? apparently, all fundies do
and they fly literally into the face of all things logical - and more to the point, why aren't similar miracles happening today?
I attended a Catholic class and the priest merely said these stories are figurative and allegorical
but not so the fundies - yes, they did happen
can you help me understand the mindset and delusions of these fundies?
