I'm not much of a Christian, but I know lots of folks here are. This was funny:
I subscribe to The Weekly Standard, and sometimes I read it online because I put the Big Mutha in gear on Sundays and get gone. This appeared:
In the late 1990s, Southern Baptists
were caught up in a highly publicized
debate on the proper relationship
between men and women. This
prompted a reporter for the New York
Times—Mike won’t divulge the name—
to call and ask why the Baptists were
making such fools of themselves.
“Well,” Mike said, “it says in Ephesians,
chapter 5, verse 22 . . . ” (the
passage says, “Wives, submit yourselves
unto your own husbands”). The
reporter stopped him with, “Who’s the
author of that? Who wrote it? Who
published it?” At that point, “I realized
I’d have to start at the beginning,”
Mike says.
It was written by Fred Barnes.......Now, even I, as little as I know about The Bible, could have done better than that reporter!
