<< the bible's not universally accepted as absolute truth, but it doesn't take
 universal acceptance for a few pernicious verses to do their damage -- a
 coupla hundred million believers has been sufficient -- homosexuality,
 abortion, evolution, slavery, what's yer pleasure? . . . quote yer verse &
 grab yer ammo -- i was just pointing to the source of western homophobia --
 relativity & continental drift would be hot buttons too, except jahweh
 didn't think of 'em before he sent the book to the printer -- & not that it
 should matter, but i'm of the desi arnaz school of theology: i think god's
 got a lotta splainin to do
  >>

heh...

eh, the Bible's responsible for homosexuality, evolution, slavery, and
abortion?  I know that can't be what you mean....but....

God's got a lotta splainin to do?  Shoot, what about those who kept and sold
slaves, those who had abortions, those who killed, those who were
prejudiced...

easier to blame God than be responsible, of course.

But even more obvious--what's this have to do with Salinger?
