tophat: *bows deeply* Thank you.
tecoyah: No need to insult my knowledge of social realities. I could have picked from any number of fictional works who inform our cultural sense of morality and idenity. We see oursevles in fiction-we find a character we sympathize with, we translate our drama in to the story. We learn vicariously.
I understand that there is a difference... i'm not about to cannonize Hamlet anytime soon. That said, i have no more impulse to promote literal understandings of the bible than of hamlet. Both need to be filtered by our sense of fiction, metaphor and theme.
