Well said.
It occured to me, just yesterday, what a strange thing it is that God, who is a spirit (having no physical body), is supposed to have written a book (I know this is not perfectly accurate); while his Son (who is human and has hands), is supposed to have written nothing.
In more than 6,000 years of confusion, argument and bloody conflict over what God wants: Neither the Big Guy himself, nor his God-on-earth Son would stoop to pen a single page (except for the 15 ... errrr, 10 Commandments) and we are left holding a moldy sheepskin with virtually indecipherable chicken scratches etched by an ancient Jew and purporting to be "The Word" of this silent God!
And if you like that ... You'll love this Florida swampland ...
