"A literalist interpretation of Scripture tells us that God is a rock that sent a bird to cause a virgin to give birth to a loaf of bread. And this is supposed to be an improvement on obtaining a chiseled code of conduct from a flaming shrubbery in a cloud. If a literal understanding is all that is required for faith, then I'm a yellow ducky."
--- Rabbi Ben Sylva

You're very welcome.
And like I've said before, you've really been on a roll over at Fr. Jake's, etc... Your comments are always a pleasure to read :)
David, Rabbi Sylva is a wise man.
Wow,
What a great quote, mind if I snag it and use it on my blog? It is so patently obvious!
