      You jest, but it do be like that. Everything from grape juice for the no-alcohol crowd to virginal births for the no-sex crowd to thinking they can manipulate current events to rush fulfillment of the prophecies to force Jesus to come back sooner for the 21st century Christian Pharisee crowd, there is a way to make it work.

      Shift it, twist it, ignore the parts they don’t want, and they can easily make that book say whatever they need it to say . . . and then make it say the exact opposite tomorrow, because they’re flexible linguistic contortionists that way.
