The fun NEVER ends. It just goes on and on my friends. I have HUGE problems with the Bible -- but I'm NOT going to stop reading it. Studying history is a pain -- but it must be done by some. If we stop talking about the Bible -- then we'd better stop talking about each and every other historical document or record. I've been finding Israel and the Nations by F.F. Bruce to be an interesting and constructive way of approaching the Bible. Dealing with the history of religion doesn't have to be a Bible-Thumping Revival-Meeting. I think there is a level of scholarship in this solar system which exists in universities, underground-bases, space-ships, etc. -- which would blow all of us away, and completely out of the water. I keep hinting at this sort of thing -- but I'm not one of the chosen-few -- so I really don't know. But I know there are those who REALLY KNOW -- and don't just THINK They Know...
