"Whether or not Jacob thinks that the branches are causing the stripes is not relevant to the true causation, which is God."

The fact that it is a primitive belief common to many ancient and some modern cultures has nothing to do with it, of course! We can ignore the natural ignorance of centuries of humanity which science has patiently exposed as the imagination of people who simply had no answers and no basis for knowledge. That is...we will accept it as ignorance and natural superstition in every of the thousands of tribes and cultures EXCEPT FOR ONE! And when the Egyptian magicians create life with wizardry when history tells us they could not even create a battery--you can just say that the bible is true because it says so. And all other bibles are false because they say they are true. And all the cruelties, absurdities, contradictions, and ignorance displayed in those wretched pages make not a damn bit of difference. Just line the bloody goats and kine up in front of a polka dot tree and all the kids and calves will be covered with polka dots. Go Moses, GO! Kill all God's OTHER children for His justice and His pleasure! Just keep the virgins alive as sexual objects. Let them watch you slaughter their parents and their older sisters and brothers. No wonder the bastard stammered...
