I'm surprised that more people don't read the Bible. There's no better ammunition for dealing with fundies and pseudo-religious bullies. Many of their most obnoxious beliefs are only marginally supported by scripture, if they're supported at all; and those Old Testament rules they're so fond of citing are almost always nestled in the midst of a bunch of other rules they aren't observing. I figure anyone who isn't burning sacrificial animals to Yahweh should think twice, maybe three times, before citing obscure bits of Leviticus or Deuteronomy in support of his own uncharitable homophobia.

Now, my idea of examining scripture till it squirms is to wonder whether Lazarus, when ordered to come forth, came out hopping like a bunny rabbit.

I adore Teresa Nielsen-Hayden so much.

I know. It's the disconnect between the two that delights me so much.
