really know the answer. Of course, there is the classic default position, "Because the bible says so". That is when you know any further discussion is pointless.

Of course even then, they have the audacity to edit the meaning of this very sacred text when it suits their purpose. A southern Baptist minister tried to tell me that though the bible SAID Jesus drank wine, it was really only fruit juice. I guess that was based on his special connection with the almighty. By the time I was done with him and he left our house, he was extremely befuddled and confused. My husband laughed hysterically once he was out of earshot. That was one lost soul he didn't save that day, which must mean the devil won.
