The Holy Bible is 100% correct. Your "interpretation" of it is about as
"intelligent" as the "interpretation" of the First Amendment by the supremes
who, after two centuries of case law to the contrary, in violation of the

display of anti-Christianity imaginable, banned spoken Christian prayers
from "public" [read: funded by Christians] "schools".
