Bible Note: Debbie: Certain individuals would define *mumbo jumbo* as any book or publication that dares to disagree with their narrow, preconceived notions of what the Bible means. Perhaps we ought not use the words "effort" or "think" around here. Certain individuals find these concepts to be offensive and contrary to their notion of voodoo exegesis. Apparently, if one has a direct line to God (which makes one infallible and casts suspicion on people who write books) he need not bother to put forth any effort or to use his brains.
