God, we loathe Mike Huckabee, with his stupid hipster beard and his stupid smug face and his thoroughly primitive belief that a book patched together from the oral traditions of a bunch of illiterate shepherds trapped in a desert is the literal Word of God, so shut up and love Jesus before the seals are broken and the Four Horsemen come galloping across the sky and the true believers — such as, not coincidentally, Mike Huckabee — start ascending to heaven like the world’s chattiest helium balloons.

I take the Days Since Someone Has Tried To Critique Christians And Decided To Talk Shit About Jews Along The Way counter and I reset it to zero.
"Primitive", take a sip of your beverage of choice. Also, it's not very liberal or cool to use that word in general.
"Illiterate", it's actually interesting the way that people these days consider literacy to be the basic standard, and if you're illiterate, you're stupid. This situation, it should be pretty damn obvious if you think about it, does not hold true in all places, in all situations, in all time periods. Literacy was once something for clerks. It was something for people who needed it for their job. Just because a society or people are illiterate does not make them mentally backward. File under: also this shit is why you don't say primitive anymore.
"Shepherds", I see we're being classist here today, too.
Back on "illiterate", I hate to say it, because no we don't actually know how literate the Jews were at that time, but very famously, something was written down. Engraved, you might even say. On some tablets. Which indicates that people were expected to be able to read them.
Jews also have really prioritized and prized literacy through the ages.
You cannot claim this is about Christianity. Jesus was notably a carpenter.
Can we please go a day without Wonkette making me regret my subscription. Can we please.
