Use the words to keep moving.
Thousands are trapped in the Qur&#8217;an
and the Bible, holding to a rope.
It&#8217;s not the rope&#8217;s fault.
Let the well rope pull you out.
Then let the wellrope go.

Christian&#8217;s hate science because it doesn&#8217;t match up with their simplistic readings of the Bible. It contradicts a &#8216;literalistic&#8217; reading of the ancient books like Genesis, Exodus, and Joshua. Sometimes this happens archaeologically and sometimes biologically. The contradictory coincidence lies in the fact that Christian&#8217;s need biologically based sciences like genetics to reinforce other parts [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=dmbennett.wordpress.com&blog=58152&post=1081&subd=dmbennett&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
