HEY Rob Ainsley, Sacred website editor of the Sacred Texts exhibit at the British Library in London England!


Dear Mr Rob Ainsley, Sacred website editor!

I was shocked amazed dismayed and perplexed by the listing of the Bible story of David and Goliath as a Christian story.

http://www.bl.uk/learning/cult/sacred/stories/

David, as in, king of the Israelite/Hebrews, in a battle with a Philistine named Goliath, only hundreds and hundreds of years before Christ, (and by inference, Christianity perhaps??? Ya think???)? How in the name of God could anyone call the story of David and Goliath a Christian story? What is Christian about it? Because "Christians" put together a pile of Hebrew texts into a collection called the Bible, which simply means Book? If I, as an American, compiled a collection of English fairy tale stories into a codex and called it The Book, would those stories then be called American stories? I am totally at a loss for words. Help me out, please.
Sincerely
Zachary G Wilson, Lover of Bible Stories...
