I take anything at face value... which CERTAINLY does NOT mean everything is equal-(ly valid)!

Context is "everything". Which is why "great literature" is "great literature". It uses the same words as "bed time tales" but in a different order and"quantity", which gives it a different meaning and value of understanding existence.

I would be CAREFUL with birds eye qualifications like "orthodox" and "conservative" - despite"agreeing" with such an assessment in genera as long as it serves as a stepping stone for further inquiry l - but such big systems if taken as an absolute don't mean anything, to which THE BIBLE - the OT particularly - is the perfect testimony.

Moral and amoral are an outgrowth of a higher principal no one - not even JESUS CHRIST - has been able to describe as GOD ALMIGHTY - THE FATHER OF ALL!
