Freedom of speech doesn't mean if you say something offisive about someone who was just murdered, to someone who's mourning their death, that you won't get punched in the nose.

Right. The greater field of hermenuetics seems to amount these days to nothing but the same, "if the Bible is the word of God it must be thus-and so" fallacy that you are accusing NxNW of.
My comment was not directed at you specifically (and you must admit that you are far from the hermeneutical position of Conservative thinking on hermeneutics).

Of course they've been better preserved. Have you by chance done much study of informal fallacies?
My puny brain is too small to have a fairly accurate conception of what an omnipotent God would be like?
You must have a great deal of faith to believe in a God that doesn’t do miracles, (anymore).
