How do you know? By your brand of logic, centuries of close-minded orthodox theologians may have been basing their interpretations on mistaken assumptions. Maybe the whole Bible, if correctly read, is an instruction manual for building a fleet of spaceships. It's only slightly more ludicrous a suggestion than your reading of the PTs. In fact, I encourage you to give Giza a rest, and turn your undoubted energy and intelligence into investigating the forgotten technical referents of the Bible. Please.

Which is, of course, why everybody agrees on what the Bible means, and why all Christians belong to the same universal church and worship in exactly the same way.
