Oh, it's a pretty amazing story full of really putrid examples of just how expendable women were.

I'm not sure I have the stomach for more horrific shit than is currently going on, but I'll keep it in mind. I do so love baiting the True Believers when I get the chance.

It has been 60+ years since I was a more or less well-brought-up 13 year old girl reading the Bible for the first time. Wow! Talk about eye-opening re sexism, etc.

HGTV was considering a show featuring the Benham brothers as renovators until the network was tipped off re the boys' family interests.

I hadn't thought about it, but you may be right. I haven't read it in 40 years and rarely think about it.

Considering "peter" is yet another euphemism for penis as in "... point Peter Python at the porcelain,"

Oh yes... and then he sends the bits out to different groups to incite a war, which results in the massacre of whole tribes, and not one but TWO mass rapes. Of which, gawd apparently approves.

That's why I love it when folks tell me how the Bible is a great guide to morality.

Maybe. But he looks like inbred white trash to me. He's the Techno Viking from the wrong side of the fjord.
