Not that again.

Anyway to put it bluntly to the Watchman - not Watchmaker - to the eye of faith the bible is NOT a blunt weapon, Far from it, the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any
twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow. That was the perception of the correspondent with the Hebrews, whether he be, as some would have it, Saul alias Paul or nay.


Surprisingly I really was not making a metaphor. I literally meant 'Don't hit people with your Bible'
