By feeling embarrassed for religion, against all reason, I feel that my apology can assist others. Superstition is in a class with Religionists that Numerology enjoys with Mathematicians and Astrology obtains in the regard of Astronomers. The Bible is not science, but as a self-consistent source for instructive axioms, it excels at self consistency when properly subjected to semiotics.
Semiotics IS a science. The codes of Hammurabi and Emperor Draco had content but were poorly regarded for their instruction. If semiotics make Hammurabi instructive, do they injure intellect when applied to other sources? Christians are humiliated into the humble attitude of students; they learn more than you expect.
Attending on my subject line, if Politics added to Bible is explosive and repugnant to the affections, Bible added to Politics generates a fair temperature, but deescalates tensions when received charitably and proffered in fairness of mind.
To call the Bible "water," is self consistent with their paradigm. If Politics is vitriolic, it is acerbic enough. Call it "acid" as an analogy for torture, and observe the purpose of diluting acid to govern application. I'll suggest that the other experiment has finally been completely tried; historically the results of the old one were not more disastrous than today.
Poe chose eloquently when he named his story "The Pit and the Pendulum."
