Caption: The excitement of all the research coming forth today on the Scriptures should give us hope that eventually we will learn its true message - love and compassion for each other, since we all carry within us the divine.

Caption: How true that the politics of the prophets and the psalmists, often speak to the powers, both kings and priests, with words which challenge the status quo. Of course, Jesus, whose acts more than his words, courageously offered alternatives to all kingdoms of this earth, i.e., the Kingdom of God in which the first became last, the last became first, and all were equal: Jew or Gentile, rich or poor, female or male, learned or not.

Caption: The Bible is not correct.Period

Poster: Z. Thomas Zabski
Caption: On the face of it, it sounds that political correctness is irrelevant to what the Bible is. The quality of political correctness is a momentary thing. The Bible reminds us of a wide spectrum of the human conditions over centuries of time in many different plitical realms. That being said, I have yet to hear the case that David Grossman builds.

Caption: Study the Torah, the old testiment which was divinely inspired but written by committees usually men. Studying means reading for as many meanings as you can find reading and discussing year in and year out to discover what the words really mean in context with the times in which they were written. What was happening to the Jews during this historical period? What and how were the Greek, Latin, Hebrew and English languages interpreted? Humans may never end the quest for the truth.

Caption: In fact, all those who have studied the Bible concur that it is a collection of myths and morality tales -- making it not only politically incorrect but incorrect in practically every other conceivable way.

Caption: The Bible was, however, written to be politically correct at the time it was penned with the full intent to secure permanent political power for the new Christian church. I wonder how the Bible would read if updated for the necessities of today's power brokers? An eye for an eye?

Caption: I believe in this statement.I don't think that the Bible is made to be taken SO literally like the Religious Right seem to think!

Caption: Being politically correct is the way reasonable people behave. There are few examples of ‘reason’ in the Bible, more so, supernatural folly to bring fear and hatred of others to the flock of believers. I always associate the Bible (Koran, Torah, whatever) to 'Whinnie the Pooh'. I‘ve asked people to compare the lessons learned in these works of fiction and ask who would you want to follow? I've never heard of the Pooh bear asking for plagues and pestilence to rain down on his chosen or un-chosen minions.

Caption: The bible is a book. Written by men, mostly about men. After at least four translations from the original hebrew & greek, how much of the original meaning has either been lost or transformed into something totally different from what the authors were trying to tell? I believe that the stories about the human experience are what make the book great, not 2 - 5,000 year old superstitions interpreted by modern day fanatics. I also do not subscribe to or believe in judaeo-christian-muslim monotheism.

Caption: My apologies to David Grossman. I didn't read his beginning sentence correctly and lashed out at him - asking him who made him God. I agree totally with his premise - Thank God the Bible is not politically correct.

Poster: Mauricio Romero
Caption: The bible is a text from which we can not predicate if it was correct or not, politically speaking, since it was based entirely and purely on faith.

Poster: Harry Temple III
Caption: The bible does no present any systematic or unambiguous teaching about political matters. It was written over many centuries under widely different political systems, from Israelite tribal society ot the Roman empire.

Poster: Patricia Ranney
Caption: I think the Bible is the story of human behavior, sort of a psychology 101 text. It may have been divinely inspired, but it was written by and handed down by the hand of mankind.

Caption: It was very frightening to listen to the Samson story and David Grossman interpreting the strange apparent drive to succeed to a point and then to commit some form of suicide. Having watched and listened on this date, July 14, when exactly what Mr Grossman postulates is happening, one wonders if the world can survive the fundamentalism of politics and religion happening all over the world. I fear we may have reached a non-reversable convergence point. Please prove to me that I'm wrong.

Caption: Just like Bible, Quran is not politically correct

Poster: E.K.
Caption: I’m thinking, perhaps, King David, Solomon or Saul didn’t know the difference between religion and politics. At least, the Bible’s reading doesn’t appear to indicate a separate institutional set up at that time. So, how would 'political incorrectness' of the Bible be a relevant commentary during the era of the Old Testament?

Caption: Thank God that no Scripture like the Bible, Koran, Avesta, Geeta or the Torah is politically correct. If it were, it would not be Holy Scripture.

Caption: The bible thank reason is not correct.

Caption: It seems the prophets and Jesus were always politically incorrect. It is amazing that when their messages became correct, God had to send another one. Its funny, when you think about it. You only hear God laughing when you get the joke.

Poster: Rick Henry
Caption: The bible is the most politicaly correct book there is. By the way, thats not a negative necessarily. The bible reflects the Jewish way of thinking and understanding the universe. All holy scriptures do the same regardless of where they originate. The bible (old testament) is the equivalent of a constitution. Essentally it is about how to function as a nation. There are laws governing how to treat slaves (they owned them), rules of warfare (everyone needed to be killed including children, see Numbers and Duetoronomy) to stone anyone who commits adultry, stone to death children who are disresptful, and at least in case stone to death a man picking up sticks on the Sabbath. I certainly make no judgement on something people were doing thousands of years ago, and what they felt needed to be done to gain the favor of God, but we must admit things have changed. What is the new interpetation of how we see the world and how to live in it by using holy scripture? How do we do that? With love and compassion? I would like to see a commentary on those two things and see how the commentary would unfold. What is love and what is compassion? What do they mean to you? Who gets included in the love and compassion and who is excluded? Does politicaly correct mean that we include those who were left out before? Who are those people, or what or those ideas that we may need to accept?

Caption: The message of the Bible and that of Jesus has never been politically correct. God's standards do not change. He is unchanging and unending. Love for life, man, and God are paramount. God is not out to win a popularity contest. He is as He told Moses the Great I AM. People say that God changed in the Bible from how he is portrayed in the Old Testement to the New. THis is not so. The message was always that of receiving God's grace. It started with the proto evangel in the Garden of Eden and we see it's fruition in the life, death, resurrection, assention and coming again of Christ in the New Testement. God extended grace to Adam and Eve and he extends that same grace, love and mercy to us today. God provided them a sacrifice for their sins, foreshadowing the real sacrificial lamb, Jesus Christ. He killed the first animal to make them clothes, explaining to them how he would make a way where there seems to be know way. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. If we are in a search for truth, which the authors say is essentially the same as reason, we must go to the source of all truth; God.

Caption: I am amazed at how a philosopher like Colin McGinis (I may have the spelling wrong) can claim to be an athiest, to say there is no god is to say that one knows enerything there is to know; to know that fact. It is an absurd position. Furthermore, his statement that the Old Testament was 'dropped' and replaced by the new (in belief) shows his lack of understanding of the Christian faith.
