Bob, weren't you saying something last week about Jesus and divorce, trying to tie that to your argument that he did not support homosexuality?

I read a review a couple of days ago about a very interesting book by Donald Spoto, called "The Hidden Jesus: A New Life." Spoto is a former Catholic monk and theologian. He is arguing that, if the Bible is to be believed, Jesus was neither a moralist, nor the founder of a religious sect, but the human incarnation of a God of unconditional love and forgiveness.

What particularly caught my eye in the review was Spoto's argument that Jesus' injunction against divorce was actually a progressive idea at the time because men had the right to divorce their wives on a whim, and women had no rights at all. So instead of being a moral stance, it was a feminist one!!!!!!!
