I saw this question posted by 'Unvirutous Abbey' on Facebook (it's probably on Twitter as well) and it's a really good one. The responses to it were interesting, mostly very gracious, some very funny, and a lot quite thoughtful. We won't mention those that were paragraphs.
Among those I liked were along the lines of...
- That bit about loving your neighbour, I meant it.
- This book is full of truth, even if not everything is factual.
- I gave you a brain, use it.
- No animals were harmed in the writing of this story (!)
- If you read it all, and think you understood it, you didn't, start again.
- If you use anything in this book against others, you read it wrong
So, what would you add? Sensible or silly?

OK, you've read it. Now try living it, especially the part about loving God, neighbour and yes, even your enemy.
