Oh come on! This is one persons opinion and comparisons to historical figures (even biblical ones) are made constantly. Dont be so hypersensitive. Maybe if you didnt seek these threads out looking for something to bitch about with your holier-than-thou attitude, you might recognize that such comparisons are prolific in literature, essays, and opinion pieces. Get over yourself. “ =====
You mistook ROTFL for hypersensitivity, and the “holier than thou” business came from you and the ridiculous post title. Please. Unlikely that many serious faithful jump to biblical proportion to describe a celebrety personality, but what do I know, when a coronation is going on for someone who obviously isn’t even, but out eating cake.
As for the Palin threads—they’re a hoot. Everyone is talking about them and it is fun to see shark jumping up close and irrestible to snark it a bit. It’s a harmless past time for all of us. Now, I’m over myself.
Besides, I’ve been informed Sarah was already Moses 2 weeks ago. So, see, my post was behind the times anyway.
Well that’s dang funny since that post of yours I originally responded to joked that “next” someone will be comparing her to Moses and here you’re saying it happened to someone else. As far as comparing her (or anyone else for that matter) to someone in the Bible, no one is making her into a saint. Deborah, Esther, Ruth, Delilah, etc. have particular personality traits. When one compares someone (be it a living person, an historical figure, or a literary character) to one of these women they’re referencing certain characteristics. Biblical references work quite well (which is why they’re so prolific in classical literature) because most people are familiar with them. But it’s okay, if it makes you feel better about yourself to attribute it to something else.
