I know that hurt you a lot, Greg, but you had demonstrated behaviour that was insensitive, boorish and irrational. Rather than put on on ignore as some have done here-I simply put you in a rowboat!! Fanaticism and reason make poor bedfellows. You are much better off discussing things like the wisdom of the bible, which I am still here in stupidtown to discuss with you.

Here is God's wisdom for getting a wife. David pays TWICE the going rate of 100 foreskins! So he gets a wife and culls the population at the same time. You and I could teach the bible together, Greg!!

Oh, BTW-some advice for you: I know you are not able to get a sense of your own posts right now, because of your emotional distress. But FWIW, you are sounding lke a child screaming at his father because the child doesn't like standing in the corner wearing a dunce cap. You are blaming me for the dunce cap; but all I did was respond to the content of your posts. I suggest you show all future posts to your children before you hit the button.

1 Samuel (TRIBAL??--or the wisdom of the ages??)

18:25

And Saul said, Thus shall ye say to David, The king desireth not any dowry, but an hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to be avenged of the king's enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

18:26

And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son in law: and the days were not expired.


18:27

Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.
