While fascinating to watch, I can't help, on some level, being horrified by the vast waste of human intelligence over the centuries.  Isn't the ultimate message here that someone nearly 2000 years ago thought all this bible stuff was rubbish?

Someone was probably fed up with all the piles of papyrus their eccentric family member kept piled around the house. It's just like when my mother threw out the original edition Dungeons & Dragons books sitting in my closet. Some day, an archaeologist will stumble upon them while excavating a late twentieth-century landfill and be appalled by our culture's callous disregard for its priceless treasures.

Not to mention the callous disregard my grandmother had for decades worth of National Geographic magazines!  So what if they threatened to collapse the floor of the attic---that was important knowledge being tossed out!

The landfill-digging archaeologists of the future will undoubtedly think us very weird.

My extremely conservative nephew does not understand that Colbert is a satirist.  I wonder if Schafly is going to be given an opportunity to be accidentally funny. 

Great tag, strangelove.

Seriously, if we could get rid of all that anachronistic s*** about loving your neighbor and just keep the stuff about smiting people with pimples and whatnot, the Bible would again be cool.
