I wonder how many audience members bought into it, and how many saw through it?Ahabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675629709031865432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5077809256320470141.post-50664816067877741152015-12-21T21:34:11.721-05:002015-12-21T21:34:11.721-05:00"Leviticus is culturally outmoded at best and..."Leviticus is culturally outmoded at best and barbaric at worst, and yet Botkin is perfectly comfortable with its content."<br /><br />Are we sure he's actually read it?
