| I once read part of a book called "The Mind of The Bible Believer" that contended that the Bible is simply a tool of political control. If, as a leader, you want to stir people to war, you can find verses to do that. If you want to encourage the people to be passive, you can find verses to do that. The point being that any mind set, any emtional or intelectual point of view can be found with-in it's pages and all you have to do is know what response is appropriate to your aims as a leader and you can find a passage in "the holy book" to encourage it. Quite convienent, isn't it?
All I see when I look down, something jumpin' on the ground, Scratchin' dirt, cluckin' in the barnyard -
Tell me, could that be you?
