I guess about a year ago I decided I should read the Bible. At the age of 75 I thought it was about time that I personally experienced this book that had sort of been a part of my life. So I found some version of the Bible in an audible version. And I added it to my list. And then I decided that I should not be so narrowminded and that I should also add the Quran. The Bible was 90 hours. Whew! Quran: 14 hours!

There is a chapter in this book titled The Ants. I don’t know quite what to think about that!

Having listened to a version of the Bible and now listening to a version of the Quran I have one realization of a commonality between the two. There is a whole lot of repetition. Repeated lines is a part of poetry sometimes for a purpose of emphasis. It is also said that in politics if you repeat a lie often enough, people will begin to believe that it is true.
