No, he doesn't. Let's for the sake of argument accept Jim's views:

1) The Bible is always right
2) The Bible was written by God
3) Circumcision is bad

Those views are inconsistant with the view that the Bible condems circumcision. Jim has to dig very hard to find some bs by Jezzuz and his fellows to mension anything about it at all (and when Jezzuz meniones it, it's not even clear if he spoke about circ or not: "to make a man every wit whole on a Sabbat"). Only a couple of people from that gang - St.Paul mostly - has a clear on circing.

Basically, here's the paradox WITHIN Jim's views (and of course, his views are dead wrong anyway): if a Bible is a book written by God, and God disapproves of circing, why is this book written so badly that only a few people like Jim get the idea that circing is condemned. Because most Christians don't get it, and some Christians (Ethiopians) even think circing is mandatory. Is God such a bad writer that he has problems expressing himself?

If Jim doesn't see this and everything else that's wrong with the bible, then - quite obviously - he doesn't shit about it.

>>not even the Bible.
>Thing is, he knows the Bible /rather/ well.
