Bingo.
And cuchulainn all you've done there is to prove my point that you're cherry-picking. Disregarding the nasty bits that can be taken no other way (as any respectable bible scholar would agree) and accepting the nice bits or distorting the text entirely to find some decent way of presenting it.
