Ruth, it states quite clearly that giving someone your clothing/mantle is as good as a marriage vow.
Well. Thank you for telling me that, because it makes the whole thing much better, and it was already excellent.
And - OK, this is a bad thing and I freely admit it, but was I the only person who read the bit about "the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David" and thought, hey, didn't they already do that in The Sentinel?
Yeah, probably just me on that one. (And for the record, I'm well aware that the Bible predates TS by about two thousand years; it's just I read TS FF long before I'd read any part of the Bible, so, you know, I get confused sometimes.)
The thing that amuses me is when people argue that, no, they didn't have sex because Jonathan was the only one to take off his clothes.
Hee. And the underwear thing? Truly hysterical. Can anyone else say "pathetic denial born of total desperation"? Hee.
So, truly, thank you for telling me all this. I wish there was a book called The Open-Minded Person's Companion to the Bible, Including All the Dirty Details You Don't Know Because You Avoided the Religion Classes in College Because You Couldn't Face All Those Begats. That's totally what I need. But in lieu of that, apparently, I have wikdsushi. Yay!
