  1. Brad, That's a somewhat idiosyncratic view of the Kingdom of God notion. Far from denying any human kings, it seems to me that secular agitators of the Jesus type are simply proposing an internally held ideal by which those unpleasant mortal rulers can be judged... and found wanting. This is not to deny their existence, nor indeed their rule, for an instant; it is to be thoroughly aware of it. Nor do I know what you mean about primitive agriculture making it into the Bible(s). Christians want to separate wheat from tares, as do we all, but the Xian Bible seems more concerned with separating sheep from goats than actual farmers ever are.
