But there is no mention anywhere outside Matthew of the alleged massacre of babies, no evidence whatever that the birth narratives of Jesus are anything other than fiction, and plenty of evidence that that is exactly what they are in the absurdities of the stories, and the contradictions between Matthew and Luke.<br /><br />God set things up so that people's actions have consequences, and he's not going to come micromanage everything.<br /><br /><br />Well that sounds very enlightened and liberal. But think of the situation in which some child has been kidnapped, and is being raped and tortured prior to being murdered. Any person with a spark of decency would rescue the child if they could. But God, who could easily do so, does not feel he should "micromanage" by intervening, because that would go against his "policy". Do you ever listen to yourself?Nick Gottsnoreply@blogger.com
