Or maybe you should discuss the topic of the post instead of the one who posted it.

A part of the Bible. And one used by the South as part of its basis for slavery. (Cf. also "Ham").

"Oh please"? Is that a cogent argument? So far, you've answered no objections whatsoever

Still no answer to the objection say that Judeo-Christ supports killing innocent "sons" of Egyptians

It's classic, because its a durable objection to Christianity; one that hasn't been refuted

It remains "an objection" rather than established fact, only to "believers" who believe, over reason

The historical facts are clear: for centuries religious killings cited the Bible as authorization

The word "didactic" commonly has a negative meaning: excessive moralizing.

Your dictionary is too small. In Art say, "didactic" implies inevitably simplistic rule-making.

The full OED is probably still off line; too commercially valuable - and definitive

Thanks. I'll have to check the pricing and see if they have a single-use fee should the need arise.

That's probably the "short" OED? The long OED definition should fill about a typed page or so
