God's Rules for Pissing (lessons in hermeneutics)



This is funny! This video has done the rounds a bit so you might have seen it but it is well worth watching. A perfect lesson in how not to read the Bible.

Bible translators do shy away from obscene and offensive language in the Bible and tend to make it more polite.
