Touring with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, Dr. Dean also visited Galilee, where Jesus preached the Sermon on the Mount. "If you know much about the Bible — which I do — to see and be in a place where Christ was and understand the intimate history of what was going on 2,000 years ago is an exceptional experience," he said.

Asked his favorite New Testament book, Dr. Dean named Job, adding: "But I don't like the way it ends." "Some would argue, you know, in some of the books of the New Testament, the ending of the Book of Job is different," he said. "I think, if I'm not mistaken, there's one book where there's a more optimistic ending, which we believe was tacked on later."

You couldn't make this stuff up . . .

If he doesn't like the way Job ends, he oughta try Revelation! Perhaps he can tack on a new ending. Maybe we should start looking for 666 in his hairline. Nah, he's too stupid to be the anti-christ.

Sounds like he overheard a discussion about the Gospel of Mark. Where do you suppose he could have picked THAT up?

A little learning is a dangerous thing.
