J&M this week. Quote mining or in other words finding snippets of out of context text in books that seem to support your position appears to be how you're supposed to "interpret" holy scriptures of most religions these days. This is true even when the sentence following the one "mined" absolutely contradicts the claim, I guess you're supposed to simply ignore that part? It's easy! When debating with believers I always try to ask what or who is behind the so obviously man-made, parochial ideas in their holy books, I never get a coherent answer, leading me to the logical assumption that it's man-made "all the way down"..
