Except that what "we all know what the Bible says" is not really what the book says...what people think they know is actually what a bunch of priests & rabbis have told them what it says, & very few can be bothered to go back & check the reference. For example, how is it that monogamy is all that God condones, yet most of the heroic figures of the Old Testament (all men of God, it says here) had many wives & concubines? I could go on for quite a while picking this post apart, but I see that Loren has done a pretty good number on it already, & I'm not one to flog a dead horse...but I did want to make at least this one point...
