One more good reason not to watch South Park. I was deeply insulted when a friend that I *thought* knew me better said that he thought I'd enjoy that show.
"Among the most detestable villains in history, you could not find one worse than Moses. Here is an order, attributed to 'God' to butcher the boys, to massacre the mothers and to debauch and rape the daughters. I would not dare so dishonor my Creator's name by (attaching) it to this filthy book (the Bible)." --Thomas Paine
Mr. Paine reveals himself to be what would be labeled a "liberal" Christian with this quote... The idea that the Bible is a human, rather than a divine product (the work of men, not the Word of God) is very much alive today, promoted by the likes of Marcus Borg, Jack Spong and John Dominic Crossan, to name a few. I think I've sung the praises of Spong's "Rescuing the Bible from Funamentalism" here in the past. The first half of the book covers this topic in spades.
