I’m not much of a Biblical scholar, and the concept of hermeneutics passed me by on its way to deeper intellects; but I know a paradox when I hear one. The Bible on one hand suggests taking an eye for an eye, while on the other it proposes turning the other cheek.
Watching footage of the horrendous goings-on in London and elsewhere in Great Britain, the only image that comes to mind is that of the late great Kenny Everett. His character, General Cheeseburger, had a distinctive way of ending his rants.
Let’s round them all up, put them in a field, and then bomb the bastards.
Amen.
Keep in mind that between those two Biblical admonishments, a PR man was hired to help promote a kinder, gentler Diety.
When I meet you in person, Wayne, I look forward to shaking your hand and buying you coffee.
Sigh.
😀 Mr Everett was a man of some wisdom…
Pfft!!!
