In fact, it hardly says anything directly. But the truth of what it says becomes evident as you grind through the mental puzzles and allegories. Don't get me wrong, there are a few direct messages, but most of it can be reckoned to parables, riddles, proverbs, etc.

Even in revelation it says, "and this calls for a mind with wisdom" to discern what this next passage means. The bible is like interpreting poetry.

I gather from many of the sayings and teachings that it is in fact not OK to question the mind of God and hence question the bible. But hey I'm human, I can't help it. Mario was right, our minds were designed to question.

• okay, so who can blame it for what it does not say? - whomi - May 30, 2003 - 00:07 UTC
