How do they read it? Entirely without sophistication, unable to appreciate irony, humor, metaphor, or purposeful moral ambiguity. They leave everything they may have ever learned about literature behind them. If people read Shakespeare the way Skeptic's Annotated Bible reads scripture, they would say "Cassius was an imbecile - he thought that Caesar was some kind of huge monster-giant as big as Godzilla" after all, he did say that Caesar "doth bestride the world like a Colossus"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-82185259334337151782007-11-13T21:09:00.000+00:002007-11-13T21:09:00.000+00:00Hmm - that link doesn't seem to be working... try ...Hmm - that link doesn't seem to be working... try this version of the <A HREF="http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com" REL="nofollow">Skeptic's Annotated Bible</A>jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17353716090668341520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-10321956255345719162007-11-13T20:28:00.000+00:002007-11-13T20:28:00.000+00:00I can do no better than to recommend the Skeptic's...I can do no better than to recommend the Skeptic's Annotated Bible <A HREF="www.sketicsannotedbible.com" REL="nofollow">(www.skepticsannotatedbible.com)</A>.
