Actually, I think Linear's expecting to be banned. Notice the digs against the bible? He knows the one about rabbits chewing cud is bogus, yet he throws it in as a "parting shot".
I don't expect to be banned. Why would you bring it up? Is this RussT's typical method of inquisition prior to excommunication or did you help build this railroad through private talks with him?
The reference you make about rabbits and their reprocessing of partially digested food fails to take into account that the Hebrew word that is translated "cud" is interpreted by most Hebrew scholars as referencing something coming up from the throat. Clearly, this is not the method that rabbits retrieve their partially digested food. Plus rabbits swallow that partially digested food immediately without chewing it. So they don't "chew their cud". Please start another thread regarding this bunny stuff if you wish to provide evidence for your case or to refute my statements.
