How is it possible to read the Old Testament seriously?
Easily. It is just one of the most influential writings in the history of the Western civilization, probably second only to the New Testament.
And that’s why I read it. But I could’t repress the giggles. Can you?
Why, yes, I can, actually my standard reaction tends to yawns rather than giggles :-P
