'Beliefs' are vanity, Pride.
Thank God that I am naturally immune!
I was referring to the clueless folks of the 'literalist', Faithless persuasion who, in the desperate attempt to validate Faithless 'beliefs', the seven animals number seems to be quickly discarded, ignored, as that would put a final kibosh on any prayer of a 'literal translation' to bolster literalist beliefs!
Which NEVER can rise to 'Faith'!
Well, note that is also your belief.
History happened, regardless of what we'd like to believe - if we can't believe certain written accounts, it's erroneous, because belief cannot change the past. We can argue about history and myth, and try to discern which is which, but its best not to get angry at eachother, calling people "clueless", over something that will not change due to our beliefs.
