"The Christian story did not drop from heaven fully written. It grew and developed year by year over a period of forty-two to seventy years. That is not what most Christains have been taught to think, but it is factual. Christianity has always been an evolving story. It was never, even in the New Testament, a finished story." ~ J.S. Spong, “Biblical Literalism: A Gentile Heresy”

How people pick and choose which #Bible verses to take literally, which to enforce as #civillaw, tells us more about the person, than about God's will. The #Torah indeed is religiously amazing - but #fundamentalism combined with unexamined #prejudice (which we all have) prevents us from understanding it.
So on a related note, how do #Jewish people read the Torah?
