However, in this case the poster is right about the Bible. I believe it is
Luke who tells about the three wise men visiting Herod to ask the location
of the new king who has just been born. He tells them to come back and tell
him where he found the baby. When they don't, he orders all the baby boys
in the area killed, in the hopes of getting rid of what he perceives as his
competition for the throne.

Oh thanks, that fits then. Did they actually go kill the kids?

Sure, but the bit about killing the kids was sort of interesting since
I didn't know about it.

According to the story, yes.

Who can actually KNOW? Considering how much mis-information has crept
into MODERN history books, believing in the literal truth of documents
that were not even written down until a couple hundred years after the
alleged events defies common sense. (And I am among those who believe
that God gave us brains so we would USE them!)

IF you believe everything in the Bible then yeah, they did. Me? I wasn't
there so who knows?

I agree with that. There's no way that a story passed down through many
generations by word of mouth is going to be exactly as it was when it
began.

I also hope God's got a sense of humour, if not I'm in trouble.

IMNSHO, if God didn't have a sense of humor, She would have wiped out the
human race centuries ago.

I have to disagree on the gender used there. If God was a women we would
have another set of arms.

Judith

LOL! Good point.
