The Bible Is Not There When You Need It

Sally Kohn: The Bible is just not there when you need it. She says Moses talked God out of eating the Israelites by fire in Genesis. In fact, he was trying to protect his people from Egypt's wrath for taking them on a journey that would make them look bad if they were seen as having killed and enslaved their own people. Kohn: Reading the Old Testament stories means getting used to God's human-like portrayal or primorphisms.
