What happens when you follow the Bible literally for a whole year?
George Washington's favorite dessert was Great Cake, which required 40 eggs and four pounds of butter. If you prefer a normal-sized cake, use an adapted recipe from Mount Vernon.

People used to laugh at me when I said that the ultimate goal of the "conservative" Re-pub Party all along has been to destroy the United States and make Americans suffer. They don't anymore.
Tom the Dancing Bug -- right on, as usual!
A.J. Jacobs' Year of Living Biblically is most excellent.

Happy Friday, gwdMaine!
Pretty sure that if you DON'T follow the bible literally then you are just making things up as you go, and in a way that suits you.
You either need to believe the bible is the actual words of your god, or you can un-convert and be like me, free of the shackles of religion.
(un-convert in that you were born without any religion, and were wholly at the mercy of your parents and their geographically based religious beliefs ... not sure if un-convert is a word, but you get my gist).
