Re: “Whether Goliath was 6'9" or 9'9" was and is irrelevant. ”
I'm not criticizing David and Goliath. It's a good story. It's the Bible itelf as a historical and accurate record that I'm criticizing.

Today's finding that there is a three foot discrepancy in the various Bibles' descriptions of one of its best known characters proves that I was right when I said, "I describe it as a book of well intentioned parables not to be taken literally."

Hm. Or is it only the Old Testament that withers under scrutiny?
