[MD] Metaphysics

[John Carl]

Greetings Mark,

I'm all in a rush, I just want to correct a slight misperception about the
Bible being "the word of God".

Taken on its own terms, the way a good fundamentalist would, the Bible is
NOT God's words.  It's very explicitly the witness of men who thought that
God was communicating with them.  Most books start something very much like,
"I was plowing my fields, and the word of God came to me saying, "Son of
Man, go forth and tell this guy over there that he's full of crap."

And you get interesting stories like with Moses or Jonah where they look up
(figuratively) and go, "What?  Me?  NO!"
