        <description><![CDATA[Most so-called &quot;scholars&quot;, Biblical and otherwise, are full of crap.  You don't get tenure any more by analyzing the writings of Moses, or Shakespeare, or Homer.  That's so old-school.  You have to &quot;prove&quot; multiple authorship -- the more, the better.  Otherwise, we might have to admit that some people make the rest of us look like mental and/or spiritual wanna-bes.  And we can't have that, because we're all equal.  (Except for academics, who are of course smarter than everyone else.)   Alternatively, you can &quot;prove&quot; the author was secretly homosexual (or communist, or atheist, or feminist -- or racist or sexist, if you don't like him), by analyzing &quot;hints&quot; in his/her writing.  Never mind that millions of people have read that author and never come to that conclusion.  Your perverse interpretations are based on the latest &quot;scholarship,&quot; which the hoi-polloi can't be expected to understand.     This opinion of mine will be blithely dismissed as &quot;anti-intellectualism,&quot; even though I have a real PhD and do real research for a living.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[That's one of the things that just cracks me up about religies... They teach their kids that inbreeding is what &quot;god&quot; wanted and that it was good and ok... LOL.... It's ridiculous and sad at the same time... But the bible has been rewritten so many times that they are bound to find a couple hundred authors... Paul went back to being a Pharisee after Jesus was gone. It was the Pharisees that wrote and assembled and modified the bulk of the new testament. Those same Pharisees can be traced to their more modern name, Now days we know them as the catholic church.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Fundamentalist Christians could take a cue from &quot;the people of the book&quot;.  How can you ever possibly come to truly understand a religious text if you totally ignore the contradictions and vagueness and claim it was &quot;divine dispensation&quot;, and that your interpretation is the only valid one?]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Sometimes I use the word, &quot;said&quot;.  Sometimes I use the word &quot;spoke&quot;.  Sometimes I use the word &quot;talked&quot;. Hey, look, I'm three different writers.  I also don't always use the same phrases in my compositions, so now I'm at least four different authors.Besides, if anyone actually took the time to read first 11 chapters of Genesis, one would find a post-script to each section, indicating possible authorship.  The operative word is &quot;possible&quot;.  One cannot go back in time a prove origin.Genesis 5:1 &quot;This is the written account of Adam???s family line&quot;Genesis 6:9 &quot;This is the account of Noah and his family&quot;]]></description>
