The jot and tittle religious folk give me a headache. They love quoting from this verse and that, hemming it together and claiming that somehow the exercise proves they are right. “If you read verse 6 of chapter 9 of Matthew and verse 4 of chapter 14 of Ruth, you will see why you are doomed to burn in hell if you use your house key to pick your teeth on Thursday afternoons. Doing such a thing is offensive to the Father.”
A large percentage of the human race would have difficulty following the directions on the side of a box of Jell-O, so I find it particularly odd that if there is a god, that god would expect us to make sense of a huge hodgepodge collection of literature written centuries ago in a foreign language, and if we slip up that god will punish us forever.
