I was pointing out that it seemed a bit odd that you would hold such a hard line on the OT-genocide stories.
Exactly ... as though you'd expect me to take one singular approach to the entire book. In other words, "if you don't take the flood and creation literally, why take the genocide literally." Or in short, "Tex is so binary."

Obviously, I don't, and I'm not.

Thereafter came Arch's inane demand that I "prove it."
