I was going to point that out as well. But maybe god held me back avoiding both of us embarrassing boxcar way too much. Or maybe the beer I had with lunch held back my hand?
The convoluted rationalizations the literal minded are forced into to make any sense
literally of scripture, are very difficult to follow logically. Explaining to them the fragile house of cards they tend to build and get lost in, is a futile exercise in deprogramming.
I guess boxcar likes all the "do-overs" in the bible. It gives him the opportunity to engage in telling us
"but wait, you are forgetting....blah, blah, blah", an ad infinitum number of times. And convinces him god must be merciful to give his children so many chances
"O what tangled webs we weave, when we literally biblically believe"
