Calling the Bible a joke is used to hurt people, not enlighten them. Those words show bitter arrogance, not constructive critism as it ignores how others feel about that book. What benefit to others is gained by calling someones belief a joke? To put the "believers" minds straight? I think not. I think the unsensitive person who attackes others beliefs, even if illogical or unrealistic, is after some kind of self grandizement or to illude themself into thinking "they know the truth of the universe" and should attack others to prove they do. Although this is not the place to defend about such things it is also not the place to attack those same things (that being someone's faith). There is no real forum to defend a faith or religion, or words in a book about that, other then where such faiths are in fact attacked. However I did laugh at the ironic use of using any-kind of zen to seriously, even Python's, as that is very unzen-like. That is a contradiction by it's very own definitions! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
