Re: You do it to yourself you do - and that's what really hurts
Take the issue of female genital mutilation. There are tribes in Africa that consider this an acceptable practice.
​
And there's an old tribe from Palestine that considers male infant genital mutilation not only acceptable but a requirement for membership. Culture is a funny thing, innit?

Re: From A to B
Pharaoh actually hardened pharaohs own heart
​
Oh? Your Book disagrees.
​
9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.
10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

Re: Simple Reading
Pally, it's your book, not mine. I could give a crap whether you read it the way it's written or not. But when you have the chutzpah to go calling Purpledawn "simple" in her bible interpretation......
​
Motes and beams, anyone?
