19. This is NOT news....
Many scholars and theologians have known most of this for years.....

But it's sad that most of the public still believes a medieval
view of scripture, a view that is reinforced by all the fundie
crap that is broadcast thru the media, and pounded in the pulpits
all over our country.

Even this interview reveals some stupidity among those
who funded this film.

No wonder the world sees the faithful as mindless twits.
