The boys drink and review Grubby Thicket Brown Ale from 7 Locks Brewing, then discuss sayings from the Bible.
Most of us know lots of phrases from the Bible without even knowing it. [The general public, that is. Not the well-educated readers of the Crowhill blog.]
Writing on the wall, turn the other cheek, a fly in the ointment, skin of your teeth, the scape goat, a leopard can’t change his spots, bite the dust, letter of the law, salt of the earth, and many many more.
P&C discuss how our culture is steeped in the Bible, and how it provides a common frame of reference.
I totally love to read the Bible. But unfortunately there are some really crazy interpretations of it (or parts of it). They will invade my thoughts every time I try to read it, and that spoils all the fun.
That’s unfortunate. When I think of weird interpretations, I’m usually amused.
Sometimes I am amused. But some of those interpretations have a nightmarish quality that makes my skin crawl.
